They were doing what came naturally and, unlike the bear, no one even shot them for it.<\/strong>”<\/p>\n On Facebook, I wrote the following comments:<\/p>\n Folks, this is exactly what happens when God is taken out of the fabric of a society (Romans 1:18-32; 2 Peter 2:9-22; Jude 1:6-8).<\/p>\n And this is what will happen to our society in America if we don’t start turning this ship around immediately.<\/p>\n And the turning around the ship begins with me<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Let’s get back to the Bible, to God, and to moral sanity!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" On Facebook today, I read the following comments from an article by Max Hastings, a writer for the U.K. publication, Mail Online regarding the recent riots in England: The people who wrecked swathes of property, burned vehicles and terrorised communities have no moral compass to make them susceptible to guilt or shame.
