What Happens When a Nation Spirals into Darkness?
by Michael Brown, Decision Magazine:
Have you ever seen a sports team collapse in a game? The players were doing well, then one thing went wrong, then another, and before you knew it, the game had become a disaster. Everything unraveled.
More serious, have you ever seen someone’s health collapse? One day they seemed to be fine. The next day, they experienced some unusual pain and tiredness. The following day, total exhaustion. Then, the terrible diagnosis from the doctor. Then, debilitating sickness and death. It is tragic to behold.
Yet there’s something far worse.
I’m talking about when a nation collapses—morally and spiritually. When a culture spirals out of control. When restraint is all but gone. When good becomes evil and evil becomes good. When shameful things are celebrated and holy things are denigrated.
This is what we are witnessing in America today. Our country is spiraling out of control. Our culture is unraveling. Darkness is being heralded as light.
We are reaping the fruit of the sexual revolution of the 1960s, which began with an explosion of promiscuity, and then led to the loss of the sacredness of marriage, then no-fault divorce, then the epidemic rise of pornography, then the redefining of marriage, then the redefining of gender. What’s next?
We’ve moved from homosexual activism to transgender activism, to the point that girls who complain about biological boys sharing their locker rooms are called transphobic and bigoted.
Just a few years ago no one would have believed we would have descended into such cultural madness.
