Moral Decline

Our wickedness and never ending greed is destroying the Pacific Ocean at an alarming rate. We are literally filling up the Pacific Ocean with plastic and other garbage.

One day historians will look back on this time and will refer to all of us as "those crazy Plastic People".

We take things like plastic and nylon and polyester for granted today.

But look at what we have done.

We have created the largest garbage dump in the history of the world in the Pacific ocean.

An area about twice the size of the continental United States that stretches from Hawaii to Japan is filled with a "plastic soup" of trash, plastic, garbage and human waste.

Marcus Eriksen, a research director for the Algalita Marine Research Foundation, said this about the situation: "The original idea that people had was that it was an island of plastic garbage that you could almost walk on. It is not quite like that. It is almost like a plastic soup. It is endless for an area that is maybe twice the size as continental United States."

How could we do this?

How could we be so wicked and destructive?

What could we possibly tell our children to justify what we have done?

While many of the "environmentalists" of the world run around whining about "global warming", the real environmental crises are being ignored.

And did you know that the Living Planet Index shows that earth has lost almost one third of all living species in the last 35 years?

Just think about that for a minute.

That is beyond catastrophic.

What do you think God thinks about all of this?

Perhaps we can get a clue from this verse out of the book of Revelation:

"The nations were angry; and your wrath has come. The time has come for judging the dead, and for rewarding your servants the prophets and your saints and those who reverence your name, both small and great— and for destroying those who destroy the earth."

-Revelation 11:18
