PSALM FIFTY-ONE, A Contrite Spirit

Today we have amazing freedom;- to vote in local and national elections,
to vote with our feet, to vote with our wallets, and our pension funds.
We continue as individuals and communities and nations, to vote for greed
and self indulgence , for adultery, for abortion, for oppression , for
persecution, for addiction and for perversion !
We get the literature we pay for---as a nation.
The media we use is the media we choose.
The "Way" we promote is the life we lead.
If Christian values are not the bench mark, in government, in business and
at the social core of our nation,  it is because our Christian witness,
decade after decade, has not been up to the mark:
So the bench mark has slipped.
How many sinners have returned to God
because we have taught them God's ways ?
Psalm 51 ESV
Then I will teach transgressors your ways,
and sinners will return to You.
We should be disturbed by our own sin,
and concerned about its effect on others.
Psalm 51:19  TANAKH
True sacrifice to God is a contrite spirit;
God, You will not despise a contrite heart.
51:21  Then You will want sacrifices offered in righteousness.
