For a country started by people who wanted to serve God according to their conscience, the debasing of morals in America is breathtaking. The latest Gallup poll (May 3-6, 2012) results show that many Americans are not led by God`s words at all, while at the same time, around 75% of Americans claim to be Christian. It makes me wonder what the results would be if the same questions were asked of God`s church - us Seventh-day Adventists? Especially regarding abortion, I`m afraid we would be right in line with most of the worldly people around us. What are the causes of this dramatic downturn in morals?
