I left my husband at the airport and traveled home at the legal speed limit. At times it seemed I was standing still as cars passed me left and right.
I sometimes feel like that when it comes to moral values too.
The world no longer obeys God's "safe speed limits."
In truth, most folks aren't even on the same path that Christians travel. They're on the broad highway with "rest stops" of abortion, assisted suicide, homosexuality, premarital sex, and other sins that lead them further away from God's grace and deliverance.
They believe God's commands are speed traps based on outdated, irrelevant laws.
But the Lord says, "Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls" (Jeremiah 6:16).
The traffic is heavy on the broad highway that leads to destruction, and sometimes it gets distracting (Matthew 7:13-14).
But we can stay on the ancient paths by keeping our eyes on the Lord (Proverbs 4:27).

Bible Love Notes
The road to Truth is steep and narrow. It reminds me to the story, The Tortoise and The Hare.

DeleteI agree with you. When I consider the explosive advancement in technology that my generation has witnessed in a mere 20 years, I also cannot help but compare the erosion of ethics that has accompanied it.
