The Grands Letter

Dear Grands,

Deuteronomy 17:1-6, “You shall not sacrifice to the LORD your God an ox or a sheep which has a blemish or any defect, for that is a detestable thing to the LORD your God.”
2 “If there is found in your midst, in any of your towns, which the LORD your God is giving you, a man or a woman who does what is evil in the sight of the LORD our God, by transgressing His covenant,
3 and has gone and served other gods and worshiped them, or the sun or the moon or any of the heavenly host, which I have not commanded,
4 and if it is told you, and you have heard of it, then you shall inquire thoroughly. Behold, if it is true and the thing certain that this detestable thing has been done in Israel,
5 then you shall bring out that man or that woman who has done this evil deed to your gates, that is, the man or the woman, and you shall stone them to death.
6 “On the evidence of two witnesses or three witnesses, he who is to die shall be put to death; he shall not be put to death on the evidence of one witness.”

Morality, it would seem, has become a thing of the past. There was a time when a person’s word was his bond. If he said he would do something, he meant it as a promise, and in time he would actually do what he said. Thus, morality and responsibility were bonded.

Today, however, few and far between are those who actually do what they promise they will do. Words have largely become empty words! Promises, therefore, have largely become meaningless. With such losses, have come the loss of simple truthfulness. And when one cannot trust his fellowman, it is not long before he fails to trust in his God!

The Scripture declares “the love of money” to be “a root of all sorts of evil” (1 Tim. 6:10). When men long for money, they “wander away from the faith and pierce themselves through with many griefs.”

As terrible as it is for one to leave “the faith,” it is even worse when it leads others to do the same. Our world must return to the ways of our spiritual fathers. We must love truth more than we love money. We must obey the tenets of Scripture and love the LORD Jesus Christ. There is a path that leads back to Him! We must pray that we find it before it’s too late!

Heartily in Christ Jesus,

(Dado III)
