Standing for Something Greater

It has been said that if you stand for nothing you will fall for everything. In a world of rapidly declining values there is ample evidence that we don't stand for much anymore except for better technology, more comfort and ever increasing market shares in ever expanding world markets.

Why is it that with our quest for greater knowledge and temporal growth there has not been a corresponding expansion of the morale and spiritual development of mankind? Why is it that the past 200 years have seen the most incredible technological growth with more and more modern miracles but simultaneously the greatest decline of individual and societal values in western history? Regardless of the answers, now is the time to reverse the trend.

We should, each and every one of us, make the decision to seek for truth on a daily basis and to build our inner self and character as well as our society rather than live only to improve the outer. We need a new renaissance - a spiritual and moral renaissance for the growth of the race - the Human race.

The quest for the best must be focused and balanced between moral growth and temporal growth. The two bless and serve each other. Temporal growth alone however is leading our civilization, even our world, into a course of greater dissatisfaction, regret, war and ruin for many.

We can grow and seek through reason and our Divine Heritage His aid in finding a moral rebirth so we will stand for something greater - even the greatest purposes - for the benefit of self, family, society and humanity.
