Ninevah Or Sodom

I saw a movie the other day, made back in fifty seven: This was when I was very young, not much more than eleven. The setting was a New England town, and It was considered obscene at the time. A romantic story called Peyton Place - with no profanity, no nudity, and little crime. As I watched, I began to think: "My God" how far we've gone, from opinion then, to opinion now, - Have our hearts turned into stone? It has been a mere fifty years, this sobering contrast with the past. How swift our journey to the sewer: Will God's judjment come as fast? It seems we've lost all restraint, nothing is condemned as taboo. Was the hippie era such a shock that no kind of filth seems askew? Can we hope for that rare repentence, as ancient Ninevah realized: or, have we lost all sense of decency, which resulted in Sodom's demise? ************** Jonah3:10 - "they turned from their wicked ways, and the Lord spared Ninevah. Genesis19:24 - the Lord rained fire upon Sodom. Lionel
