Moral Clarity

Listening to Dick Morris opine on the Clinton legacy and other politically relevant topics has become a fun past time. He was interviewed on H&C the other evening and was asked what it was about Bush that people admired – his answer was simple – his “moral clarity.” I took that to mean that Bush is very clear on what is right and what is wrong.

When Morris was asked why the hatred for Bush was so vociferous and constant – his answer was … “moral clarity.” There is the divide in America – isn’t it. Those who hate the light and will do anything they can to extinguish it.

I hope Christians are getting it. I hope they are seeing that we are not in a culture war – we are in a spiritual battle. The forces of good and evil are drawing clear lines in the sand. My fear is that the moral clarity of Christians in America and elsewhere may not be as clear as it needs to be to stand against these forces.

Morris also opined on the two Clinton Books – Hillary’s and Bills. He said that Hillary’s book is by a relatively sane person who is trying to cover up her misdeeds. While Bill’s is by a very dysfunctional person who is inadvertently disclosing his insanity. I would take this a step further. I have always seen Bill as an egomaniac who needs to be worshipped and idolized. But as fairly benign. Hillary on the other hand, seems to much more calculating in her motives. I have a number of friends refer to as evil. Regardless, neither of them seem to a firm grip on moral clarity.

Algore is also slipping rapidly down the hill of personal destruction. His repeated attempts to rewrite history have damaged any creditability he might have had. It is amazing to think how close he came to being the 911 President. Can you imagine where we would be today if he had been elected. That election is a clear example of God’s sovereignty expressed in 1 Chronicles 29:12 Riches and honor come from you alone, for you rule over everything. Power and might are in your hand, and it is at your discretion that people are made great and given strength.

Again, I point to moral clarity being the issue. I can not find moral clarity among the Democrats. I am sure there must a be a strong, Born Again Christian in the group – but it is not evident in anything that is said. Their politics of scorched earth and personal attack is unrelenting and pervasive.

It is my prayer the true Christians in America will go to prayer. Will pray from the Christian leaders and will be unrelenting in their efforts to not allow the lies to become truth. If there are only 5%, they can influence the 95% and turn the tide. But it begins with a few who are committed to this cause.

Pray you and I will be strong and courageous in this onslaught of personal destruction.
