The Moral Code of America, Part 2

 

Part 2: When a Nation is Out of Alignment

If Part 1 reminds us where we came from, Part 2 is about where we are now — and it’s not where we started.

Today, too many of our government officials act as if they must make decisions in a vacuum, completely void of the God of the Bible. It’s as if faith has been pushed to the side — or worse, treated as a threat.

But God never called us to check our faith at the door of public life. Living a life of faith means living consistently. My moral code hasn’t changed: you can’t go wrong doing what’s right. And doing what’s right doesn’t stop when we step into the workplace, the voting booth, the courtroom, or the halls of government.

When leaders try to govern apart from the code God has written on our hearts, we get what we see today — confusion, conflict, and a culture that bends with every passing wind.

The solution isn’t more compromise. It isn’t trying to appease everyone. It’s a return to conviction — to leading and living as Christians again, with the courage to stand on what is right even when it’s unpopular.

We don’t need perfect leaders. We need leaders whose hearts are aligned with God. That’s when our laws, our culture, and our future start coming back into alignment.

We are the ones who vote. We must vote for those who are real and ready to govern by God’s moral code and abide by our Constitution. Then hold them accountable. Yes, fundamental change is needed.
