Muldova

The Singing Men of South Texas (SMOST) are planning a trip this fall to Muldova. Muldova is a country that was a part of the former Soviet Union. It is located near Romania.
In preparation for that trip, our director of SMOST, invited a man who teaches at Wayland Baptist Univ. in San Antonio, to speak to us. This man, Bob, has a ministry in Muldova that teaches the Bible in the schools. Even though it is against the law to teach the Bible, his ministry has the permission of the Minister of Education of Muldova, to teach in the schools.
One of the interesting things that I learned about Muldova is that it is a country that is without morality. They do not have any semblance of right and wrong, because of the influence of Communism. As a result, business don't pay the taxes they owe (the country doesn't expect them to), which is 120 %. Obviously, a Christian has a difficult time being a believer and a business owner.
One story that I thought was especially good dealt with one of the Bible classes. Some boys were gambling with their cards and a teacher invited them to watch a video in the Bible class. They attended the class, and afterwards the teacher was looking for them, but they had already left the classroom. The boys, before leaving the room, had left the teacher their playing cards. They had been convicted by the Word of God through the video. Upon hearing about Jesus they had a sense of morality.
In a conversation with my Mom, I wondered how much is the United States like the country of Muldova? We hear in the news, almost daily, about events taking place that make it difficult to believe that someone could have a sense of morality. We hear of a young man who murders and dismembers his girlfriend because she was talking with other men. Have we lost a sense of right and wrong?
