I had said before that character is a by-product of the moral compass of a nation.\u00a0 Psalm 33:12 \u00b6 says Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.\u00a0 <\/em> A country who has a fear of God and a respect for God will produce fruit in the nation of respectful, law-abiding, God fearing members.\u00a0 We cannot boast about character since it is a by-product, but it is a good indicator where we are at.\u00a0 Today we worship personality and talent and since our character is poor, those doing worse than us make us feel better about ourselves!<\/p>\n

Americans no longer care about character. \u00a0So what if a former President had an affair with his secretary? \u00a0You should see him play the saxaphone!<\/p>\n

A wife abuser? \u00a0Alleged Rapist? \u00a0Had stolen crab legs from a supermarket? \u00a0Yes, but wow, that new quarterback can throw that football!<\/p>\n

A chronic, serial\u00a0adulterer? \u00a0Pervert? \u00a0Foul mouth and blasphemer? \u00a0Yes, but he is so funny! \u00a0He makes me laugh.<\/p>\n

That is the standard in America. \u00a0Our current president lies and covers up scandals and does nothing for the Christians slaughtered all over the world. \u00a0But he has that charisma and personality that people love so they follow him. \u00a0 Even if it is off a cliff.<\/p>\n

The latest in this disgrace, is LSU offensive lineman, La’el Collins. \u00a0He is a person of question in the shooting death of his pregnant girlfriend. \u00a0I am not calling him a murderer.\u00a0 He is not even\u00a0a suspect. He\u00a0has not been arrested. \u00a0He is not even so far a person of interest. Yet despite his innoncene, not one team in the NFL drafted him this past weekend, because for now, at least, murderers and suspected murderers aren’t very good for the team.\u00a0 Wow, maybe there is some decency left.<\/p>\n

However, even with that hanging over his head, that didn’t stop new Buffalo Bills Coach Rex Ryan for meeting with him down in Baton Rugue (allegedly). \u00a0 Why not? \u00a0He would be a great addition to Buffalo’s other famous (alleged) murderer O.J. Simpson.<\/p>\n

Apparently, La’el just wants to put this all behind him. \u00a0How about the girlfriend? \u00a0I’m sure she wishes she could put it behind her as well. \u00a0Death doesn’t leave that much of a future for folks down here,\u00a0unfortunately.<\/p>\n

1stJohn 2:16 says For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.<\/em><\/p>\n

Today’s lust for entertainment and\u00a0brutality\u00a0reminds me of the way folks used to be\u00a0entertained\u00a0in the Coliseum in Rome, cheering on the brutatlity there.\u00a0\u00a0Now they go to the Coliseum in LA and cheer for a new breed of\u00a0murderers and criminals.<\/p>\n

However the difference then was that the Christians were the ones on\u00a0display\u00a0and \u00a0the ones being fed to the Lions. \u00a0Now the Christians instead are right in the midst, cheering for the Lions.<\/p>\n

And Tigers. \u00a0And Bears.<\/p>\n

Oh my.<\/p>\n

And we wonder why America isn’t seeing revival.<\/p>\n
