The Loss of our Culture

The Soviet Union's vicious and evil empire was not just a threat to the world it was even a greater threat to its own people. Millions were killed by various purges in order to keep the people in chronic fear.

The pain and evil committed in one generation is passed tsunami-like to future generations. Just think what chaos the murder of 30 to 50 million people has left for Christians to pick up currently. Alcohol, drugs, divorce, abortion, callous behavior, crude family life all exemplify modern Russia. It will likely take many years to bring even small cultural changes.

Unfortunately, the USA seems bent on a path of similar destruction. We have almost no memory about the things that made us healthy, wealthy and wise. We are seeing a rebellious and angry reaction to everything godly, caring and upbuilding.

The only hope is in God and His churches around the USA and Russia. We desperately need healthy families but a family cannot be healthy without a supportive environment in the church.

We need to share the good news and then build a strong, loving community based on God's Word. It is possible and God is on the move in many places.

Keep truckin as the kids said in the Seventies. It means we ought not give up.
