God knows where we are, too, but He wants us to know where we are. Where are we spiritually? Where are we morally? That is what God is interested in.
In Luke 15 we read the story of a lost son and his loving father. The son was likely reared in a wonderful home where God was worshiped and children were loved and were reared right. The prodigal son belonged to a family.
Abraham Lincoln once said, “The strength of a nation lies in the people—in the homes of the people.” He said, “Our strength is the home.”
But the home today is disintegrating. There is deep concern for what our children are being taught or not being taught, whether at home or at school. Our young people are no longer being taught what is right and wrong. And they are floundering. They don’t know which way to turn.
I don’t believe that young people today can live clean, pure lives without the help of God. The peer pressure is too great, and the temptations of what they see in the movies and on television and on the newsstands is too much. Only Christ can protect them. Only Christ can give them the power to say no. That is why we need a moral and spiritual awakening. If we don’t have it, we may destroy ourselves.
