Modern Morality

This age we live in
with no moral absolute
standards no longer exist
now we bear its fruit

Fewer couples no longer marry
live in is the thing
not thinking of the consequences
such living will bring

So often there's no commitment
after a few months, they split up
feeling the heartbreak that comes
affected by its bitter cup

Do they not know a better way?
a way of purity and joy
set up by God himself
for His word is no toy

God has promised a day
when all he'll call to account
to answer every thought and act
This is surely no doubt

The sexual revolution has brought disaster
torn lives and broken hearts
come to the creator that created sex
His blueprint fits all the missing parts


( ' After this I saw another angel coming down from heaven, having great authority, and the earth was made bright with his glory. And he called out with a mighty voice,
“Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great!
She has become a dwelling place for demons,
a haunt for every unclean spirit,
a haunt for every unclean bird,
a haunt for every unclean and detestable beast.
For all nations have drunk
the wine of the passion of her sexual immorality,
and the kings of the earth have committed immorality with her,
and the merchants of the earth have grown rich from the power of her luxurious living.”
Then I heard another voice from heaven saying,
“Come out of her, my people,
lest you take part in her sins,
lest you share in her plagues;
for her sins are heaped high as heaven,
and God has remembered her iniquities.)
(Revelation 18:1-5 ESV)

Well said Gorden! your words prove that today's "NEW" morality is just recycled ANCIENT immorality. A fitting scripture quoted from Revelation showing how false religion(Babylon the great) has had a major impact on the world's morality (or rather lack of) and will have to answer for her error!
