Opus 2024-339: Middle Class Morality: Find Me Nine More

My thinking this morning was stimulated by some of the things that Thomas Sowell said, in the last book I read.  He was talking about what made some cultures more prosperous than others, and in addition to the ability to know that your property belonged to you so that you knew how to plan, he said there was a general trust in the population in countries that were prosperous.  Their prosperity was possible, because they could be trusted.  That led to a discussion of honesty, and such things, as not lying and not stealing.

That took me to the 10 Commandments, and one of those 10 Commandments is “Thou shall not steal.”

This led me to thinking about how honesty and respect for others property, which is a part of middle-class morality.

And that made me realize that most of the people in our lower classes would be infected with middle-class morality, as far as things like truth and theft would be involved.

And that led me to thinking of white privilege.  So much of what is labeled as white privilege is Middle-class Morality.  They are the basics of western culture and found in the Bible.

It took centuries for these values to be inculcated in western society.  It has come from the bottom up, from the everyday believers, from the monks and priest, and people who took communion on a daily basis.  When the people who believed in the truth of the Bibl, and lived by the truth they molded society over the centuries.

The satanic communist forces have been working tirelessly to break down that consensus.  They have infiltrated our educational system.  They have begun to run the government.  They control the media and they are coming after the family and the church.  The pace has sped up.  The battle is real.

We think of political moves we can make to fight this.  We should do that.  We think of building strong families.  We should do that.  Ultimately, though, this is a spiritual battle.  The only reason we are still afloat is because the Holy Spirit is working, not only in the hearts of believers, but also in the lives of people who deny God.  That gives us our hope in the future.  That is the force of Providence.

Don’t give up.  Remember Abraham pleading for Sodom.  If they could have found ten righteous then God would have spared the city.  Be one of the ten.
