Regardless of what society says, we can't go on much longer in

Listen, O children of the earth, for the words I bring to you today are not mere whispers of the wind, but the clarion call of truth, a warning that has echoed across the ages. Billy Graham, a prophet of our time, once spoke these words: "Regardless of what society says, we can't go on much longer in the sea of immorality without judgment coming." These words are not spoken in haste nor in anger, but in deep concern for the soul of humanity, for the very foundations of society are eroding beneath us, and we stand at the edge of a precipice, uncertain of what lies beyond.

What is immorality, O children? It is not the occasional slip or the momentary failure of character, but the willingness to live in defiance of the principles that sustain a virtuous life. It is the choices we make when we abandon the eternal laws that govern us—the laws of honor, of truth, and of compassion. When society turns its back on these, when it begins to embrace the falsehoods and the temptations of the moment, it wades deeper and deeper into the sea of immorality. And in this sea, the waves grow higher, the currents stronger, and the ship of civilization drifts further from the shore of goodness.

Think of the great civilizations of old, O children, who once stood proud and strong, only to fall when they allowed their hearts to stray from the righteous path. The ancient Romans, for example, who, in their prime, were a beacon of power, law, and order, eventually succumbed to the decay that comes when a people forget the virtues that brought them to greatness. Their leaders, intoxicated by power and luxury, became blind to the needs of their people. The very foundations of Roman society—honor, respect, and justice—crumbled beneath their feet as they turned to excess and corruption. They lived in the sea of immorality, and when judgment came, it arrived with swift and unforgiving force.

And yet, O children, we too live in such a time. The sea of immorality surrounds us, its waves crashing against the shores of our lives. We are told by society that we must be tolerant of all things, that there are no absolute truths, no moral compass to guide us. In the name of freedom, we are often encouraged to pursue our own desires without regard for the consequences, to abandon the wisdom of the ages in favor of fleeting pleasures. But hear me now: freedom without virtue is a path to ruin. A society that loses its moral bearings cannot stand for long. As Graham wisely warned, we cannot continue in this sea without facing the inevitable judgment that will come.

Consider the story of Noah, O children, whose time was much like our own. In the days of Noah, the world had turned away from the path of righteousness, and humanity had sunk deep into a sea of wickedness and immorality. They mocked Noah’s warnings, just as we often mock those who speak of the dangers of our own time. Yet, despite the derision of the people, Noah remained steadfast, and the judgment that came was both swift and final—the flood that cleansed the earth. The story of Noah is a powerful reminder that even in the face of widespread corruption, there is always the possibility of redemption, but judgment will surely follow if the people do not turn back from their wayward path.

So I say unto you, O children, let these words of Billy Graham be a light to guide you. You are living in a time of great trial, a time when the sea of immorality threatens to overwhelm us all. It is easy to be swept away by the currents of temptation, by the voices of those who say that anything goes, that there are no consequences for our actions. But deep within you, there is a knowing, a calling to live a life of virtue, to stand firm in the face of temptation, and to uphold the truth even when it is unpopular. Do not be deceived, O children, for judgment will come—not because of an angry God, but because of the natural consequences of abandoning the moral law that governs the universe.

Let your actions, therefore, be a reflection of the values that sustain true society. Live with honor, integrity, and compassion. Seek not to follow the ways of the world, but to remake the world through the power of goodness. If you stand firm in your convictions, if you live with wisdom and moral courage, you will help to turn the tide of immorality. But remember this: the sea may rise, the storms may grow fierce, but it is in these very moments that the strength of your character will shine brightest. Stand tall, O children, and know that though judgment may come, it is not a force to fear, but a call to rise above and to live a life worthy of the truth that guides us all.
