CONGRESSMAN FOLEY'S BEHAVIOR

The recent events surrounding the behavior of Congressman Mark Foley serve to remind us of the very reason our founding fathers required that our legislators must first profess a belief in God, the Bible and in the system of eternal rewards and punishment in order to hold public office. They recognized that every man and woman is subject to a sinful carnal nature that must be restrained by a strong moral code as defined in the Scriptures. They understood that you could not separate God from government without leaving a void that evil will be only too quick to fill. No political party can claim the moral high ground for we are all sinners and subject to the same delusion that Mark Foley apparently came under.
These events also provide a portent of things to come if we, as a nation, continue to provide an attitude of acceptance for sexual behavior outside of the holy institution of marriage, universally defined as the union of a man and a woman. Congressman Foley’s perverted behavior was based in a homosexual lust that defied reason. His inability to adhere to traditional norms has proven to be destructive to his own well-being, and damaging to the well-being of others. Social acceptance of any sexual expression outside of traditional mores will only help to perpetuate this type of damage to the well-being of coming generations.
For this reason we must hold high the standard of traditional marriage and sexuality or we will see a growing trend toward social depravity and our children, and theirs will pay for our indifference.
