A Nation’s Test
The moral decline of a nation can be traced back to its religious beliefs. Pagan societies have come and gone. Rome, at one time an invincible force, crumbled from within because of moral decay. Countless individuals with godly moral values think their opinions do not count for much. However, they are very wrong. How does a nation – America or any other – become spiritually torn and tattered? It is simple; the people who are the very heart of any country’s life give up and give in to mounting pressure to compromise what they know is right. In real life, a very small percentage of people want certain godless statutes installed. Yet if a nation’s majority wavers in confusion, more than likely these issues will face little debate. We must stand for what we believe, asking God for His direction morally and spiritually. Charles Stanley
The Sarah Corner – “And Sarah laughed”
Two men working in a factory were talking. "I know how to get some time off," said one. "How are you going to do that?" "Watch," he said, and climbed up on a rafter. The foreman asked what he was doing up there, and the man replied. "I'm a light bulb." "I think you need some time off," the foreman said, and the first man walked out of the factory. After a moment, the second man followed him. "Where do you think you're going?" the foreman shouted. "I can't work in the dark," he said.

Scripture Reading
Proverbs 14:34; Psalm 33:10-12
Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people. The counsel of the LORD stands forever, the thoughts of His heart to all generations. Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people whom He has chosen for His own inheritance.
