What Really Ails America

137 – What Really Ails America – William J. Bennett

William takes a very real problem with America, discusses reasons for it, and proposes a possible solution to correct it. Some would view his reasoning and solution as factual and agree, while others would disagree and fight against his solution. The fact is American morals are in a downward spiral and until steps are taken to correct them, America will continue to be a society in decline (page 137). He ends by telling us to get mad, fight, and never surrender (page 141).

Truth abides in his reasons and solution. This moral decline should not surprise us, as God warned us of its coming. Removal of prayer from schools probably began the spiral. Society lacks understanding of the true meaning of “division of church and state” and has removed the Ten Commandments from many government buildings. Displacements of many priorities have occurred; however, the NCLB act continues to improve the education system. As Christians, we need to continue to build God’s kingdom; those who choose against it will enter into the worst downward spiral imaginable. Unfortunately for them, it will be too late and truth will be their demise.
