The Bible is very clear about sex before marriage:

"Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind."

– 1 Corinthians 6:9, King James Version (KJV)

A study that was done in 2012 found that only 3% of Americans wait until marriage to have sex. In highly religious groups, up to 20% wait until marriage successfully. The 3% is bad enough, but the fact that only 20% of church members wait till marriage is very sad. I can only imagine what the Lord thinks of us.

Besides the obvious that our moral values are in free fall, what are the causes for the demise of moral values? Is it bad parenting, preachers not preaching against premarital sex in the pulpits, Hollywood, a culture where the lines of right and wrong have been compromised? I believe the blame lies with all the above, but Hollywood is having a destructive influence on our culture. I can only imagine that the Devil and his agents are laughing and directing the work of Hollywood for his own purpose.


The only choice we have is that we turn from our sinful ways and ask God for forgiveness. That has to start with us individually. If believers will repent and pray for the Lord's forgiveness, we can put on the armor of God and He will show us how we can take back America for Christ. We CAN make a difference, but will we take that step?

For those readers who have not made a decision for Christ, you can take that step today.
