"For Zion's sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation thereof as a lamp that burneth." (Isaiah 62:1)

Politics – or morality?

Many today like to debate political topics. Talk show hosts battle in the arena of ideas. People push various political ideas as the solution to mankind’s problems. The United States is in the midst of an acrimonious political campaign where candidates purport to offer answers to our social and economic problems.

Yet, few understand that the problems of Western society are based, not on political issues, but on issues of morality! It’s not fashionable to think about it, and many don’t, but the fundamental question involved is: who decides what is right or wrong? Who decides what is the proper foundation for any society or culture?

In the very near future, humanity will be delivered from its own hand. God will bring solutions to mankind’s problems. These solutions won’t come through political maneuverings, diplomatic negotiations, or any of mankind’s efforts, but by the hand of God, teaching and enforcing His ways of life.
