Children are suffering today and their innocence taken away, by the actions and behavior of some so-called "adults". This world is so corrupt and still on a downward spiral, because of demoralization. Anything goes, no matter how wrong it is.
I abhor the way adults speak around children these days, foolishly thinking they're not listening to what is being said, or else parents just plain don't care what they put in their children's head or what they see. I'm so sick of "adults" constantly cursing, fighting, and using the "f" word every 2 minutes in front of their kids! How stupid could they be! It literary changes who they are! You rob them of their childhood. They weren't meant to handle adult situations. Then you wonder why your children don't turn out well. God will hold abusers responsible. Children lay in bed at night, eyes wide open, thinking about what they experienced that day. Don't think they don't. It echoes in their little, innocent minds until they fall asleep.
There's no stability in the way some adults raise their children. This is what children need most of all... stability, discipline, and a soft, loving, caring place to fall. When you play negative, destructive rap music, which is crap music, around children, and their little minds hear these filthy words and terrible lifestyles, that affects their [i]whole life[/i]. It's not cute and it's not cool! Children weren't [b]meant[/b] to hear these things. It brings depression on children and anxiety, the way these negative rap songs talk about such violence, thoughtless killing, raping, and calling mothers and girlfriends wh**es or b**ches, using people, wanting to destroy property and people, or gun someone down. Pure trash!! They have no respect for life or anyone! And these children have to listen to that crap. This society is so sick and immoral, this is why it's coming to an end.
People can disbelieve and laugh all they want, but the fact is, vulgarity and immorality which children are exposed to today, as well as others in this world, are definitely bringing, and has brought, this world down to its end. [i]People[/i] brought this on; not God. Immorality of any Nation or people in the Bible, has always brought judgment upon themselves. God has had enough of us, and we can't blame Him. This world is so immoral and corrupt anymore, it's disgusting, and ignorant people sit back and laugh about it, not realizing, they have brought on their own demise.
America used to be "One nation Under God", but we have left God behind in the dust and then blame everything on Him, instead of taking responsibility for our own ignorance and actions of immorality. God does not bless America, nor any nation that is immoral. We don't deserve the title of "One Nation Under God", anymore. We have turned away from God and disgraced ourselves, calling good as "bad", and bad, as "good". The majority want nothing to do with God and they have proved that, by taking God's name out of schools and prayers, government documents, and tearing down and destroying anything and everything they can get their hands on, in order to get away from, and rebel against God and morality.
Especially government. Such a nation cannot stand. It will not repent, but has proved itself to only get worse, so worse shall surely follow. We reap what we sow. But some are too blind to see that. They will someday see, that God will not be mocked. They have laughed at God, mocked him, and cursed him, so they can expect no less than judgment, and rightly so.
Abraham Lincoln agreed with scripture and even included it in his speech, when announcing that Thanksgiving was to be observed the last Thursday in November, when he said, "Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord.” (Psalm 33:10-12). If we truly want the blessings of the Lord on our country, then we must come humbly before Him, seek His face in prayer and repentance, and ask if He might by His grace and mercy, bring healing to our troubled nation (2 Chronicles 7:14).

BRAVO! BRAVO! and AMEN! Everything you said, are things that needed to be said. Hopefully people will listen and adhere to what you stated and adhere to what God wants and what He has told us.
You know, I teach Drivers Ed to high school students, (ages 16-17, four students in the car at one time,) and I find it troubling and sometimes embarrassing what comes out of their mouths. When I was growing up, certain words were not used, certain subjects were not brought up as they remained private. It's not that way anymore. Now, no matter what, it's out in the open.
I had one student this past semester, a young girl. She was kind of a brazen, loud mouthed gal. In one class, her anxiety was way up because she had to make a speech in front of the entire school board, about 150 people. She was so high strung and nervous about it that she just kept rambling on and on about everything. During one of her ramblings, loud enough for everyone to take notice, she practically yells, "and on top of everything, I got my period." Some of the students laughed, some of them just stayed quiet and ignored her. Because I do not yell at my students, I simply said that we did not need to know that information, and it was more than we needed to know about her. At one time, things like that were kept in private. Discussed with a parent or counselor or doctor on a one on one. It's just not a topic the whole world needs to know about.
I had another student a few years back that would get in the car and bring everyone up to date on her sexual exploits and her drug use. There is just no shame anymore. And a lot of times, the gals are even worse than the guys.
Yes, I do blame the parents. It's obvious that these kids were not taught about morals or about decency or what things to keep private or what is in poor taste or vulgar.
When Jesus says that it will be the same as it was in the days of Noah before His coming, He is referring to the fact that the world will be just as wicked and evil as it was during the time of Noah. (Matthew 24:37)
Compare the society of Noah's day with our own today with it's violence, hatred, greed, selfishness and lack of respect, a do what you want society in so many ways as we experience ourselves on a daily basis.A society that is becoming more secular and atheistic year by year,turning it's back on God and mocking those who are Christians as backwards and gullible believers in ancient fairy stories.
I am certain that we are in those times now and as bad as it is, it will only get worse. The plus side of this is that the Second Coming of Christ is right around the corner, so we best be ready.
@IM5688 Everything you pointed out, is absolutely right on and brilliantly stated. I could just feel my blood starting to boil because the truths you stated, all hit home and how unjust it all seems. Before this generation, we worked so hard to build this country and make it great, and parents/society did not follow up. They became slack and easy, no discipline for the children at all, no standards, and no backbone! They just let these computers babysit their kids and teens, to watch anything filthy or trashy they wanted, while their parents slept or ignored the kids and did their own thing, and that's why all these computer games and what have you, were invented by foreigners and introduced here, because they knew it would literally take over their minds obsessively, and in the meantime, America would crumble and fall. Keeping our noses in nonsense, instead of working hard to build this country to be even better.
I was especially angry about the disgusting and bold behavior of this society to just come out and flat out say anything that comes to their mind, that's filthy as could be and they think nothing of it. As you mentioned, there's no morals to this society whatsoever. No self-love, no self-esteem, no self-worth, no integrity about themselves, no self-respect, and certainly, [u]no morals[/u]. As you mentioned, in our generation, NEVER would we have spoken about such [b]private things[/b]. That's what makes me angrier than anything. And I think the girls are worse than the guys, especially on here. They are so disgusting and shameful, it is disgraceful. No self-respect at all. No sense of respect about themselves, at all. God sees it all, and He is not going to stand for it much longer. This generation is just as evil as the days of Sodom and Gemorrah, as you mentioned. And yes, I believe with all my heart that this generation is the end of it. We're getting too many signs from the Lord and I believe the rapture is imminent, any day now. All the signs light up far brighter than any other generation. The Blood Moons, earthquakes in diverse places, floods, famine, immorality, wickedness, and all. People really do need to prepare, because just as those in Noah's day would not believe that the rains were coming and called Noah a fool and made fun of him for building a boat as the Lord told him to do, so shall this generation be destroyed for its wickedness. Then we'll see how cool and funny they think [b]that[/b] is. Then the Lord they denied, they will be screaming out to, for help, though they mocked and cursed him and laughed at him. It just doesn't work that way and they'll find that out.
@IM5688 I would definitely have to say something to your students if I was their teacher about their mouths and attitudes. Especially with the stuff that comes out of their mouths that's so filthy. You shouldn't have to put up with that, being you are the teacher. I would let them know that if they're going to take my class then they're going to have to show respect in all ways, and make that clear.
@IM5688 In every generation, the youth is rotten. We just grow up and mature then when the next generations act the same way we did, it just seems worse. Of course everyone says, "Oh no, we worked for what we wanted, we respected our elders, etc." Yeah right. I hear people my age, Gen X, say that and I think, "I was there, I know we were horrible just like the kids of all generations."
As far as the new generations not keeping private things private, I think that is because people finally figured out that no matter how much you try to hide something, you will be "outed" anyways so might as well put it out there.
People used to blab about other's personal business just for a little bit of gossip. Well now that people are "out and proud" about their business, people do not like it.
