At The End of the Day

At the end of the day Penn State University employed people in their football program who were sexually abusive to children, and officials who covered it up. It was the same story with the Catholic Church, Bishops who knew of priests who were accused of sexually molesting boys, yet instead of kicking them out, they moved them to other parishes.  How many times have we seen government officials accused of not doing something about a situation when it was brought to their attention.

Implication of wrong doing, by doing nothing. At the end of the day we have moral and civil responsibilities to the people who trust us with the leadership they have entrusted to us. Saturday was switch your bank day, when hundreds of thousands of corporate bank customers said, "enough we have had it with your nickel and dimeing us to death, we are moving our accounts to credit unions."  And thousands did.  It is in keeping with the wall street protests that has spread across the country.  At the end of the day, people are beginning to ask for more accountability from their leaders. Now, I am not supporting the wall street protesters, because I think its just another socialistic move to distribute the wealth more evenly. Not sure our system of capitalism was designed to do that. However, at the end of the day capitalism without principles to guide it can be as evil as any other form of government.  Corporate greed that pays executives bonus totaling in the millions of dollars following being bailed out by tax payers money is a national disgrace.  No wonder people are angry, but at the end of the day, we're all to blame.  At the end of the day, all of us as Americans can be blamed for the state of affairs in our country.  You can't go around blaming the wealthy when we don't have a clue how to handle our own finances. Americans didn't want the jobs Hispanics came to fill, and now there's there's a job shortage and unemployment. At the end of the day, the immoral issues we face in this country will never go away, they will only increase.  The Penn State and Catholic church disasters are only the tip of the iceberg, and there is much more hidden that will come to light in time. Why do I say that?  Because at the end of the day, America could care less about God, and His principles for life, they are only concerned about their idols of pleasure and making sure their bellies are full. We have passed more legislation to kill babies, to legalize homosexual marriage, and take away the rights of Christians to express their points of view in public arenas. When we put God out of the picture, He turns us over to our own devices. Read Romans 1, this is the Apostles Paul take on it:

24Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves,  25 because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen.

At the end of the day, it's all about America abandoning God, His Word, and His principles for how to live life. You can not ignore God, and expect to live free from the issues that face us today. But at the end of the day, the worse culprits are not those doing the evil stuff, its those of us who know better to say something and we don't. We actually do nothing.  The church says so little about these things, because we don't want to create waves of controversy.   Yes, implication by doing nothing, let's just play it safe, why create a stir. 

Keeping it honest and truthful...K
