“Think not therefore, that the highness
of your dignity diminishes your faults
(much less gives you a license to sin)
but on the contrary, your faults shall be
aggravated according to the height of
your dignity.”
King James 1

History says
It is a striking fact that in the case of Rome the lust
for military power was accompanied by a lust for
economic domination, but self-interest at the root
of both produced the disequilibrium that breached
its walls in the end. Progress and domination
evidently cannot walk long side by side.
Only too often history has shown that profit at the
expense of proper ethics comes at too great a cost.
Friedrich Nietzsche predicted the “devaluation of
values” that would usher the earth into wars “of a
kind as had never happened.”

History Says
Accounts of the daily discipline of the Evangelical
Reformers in 1820 under British Prime Minister
William Pitt are equally insightful.
The Evangelicals brought to bear on the life of
England an intense belief in God.
They prayed, they worked, they gave alms, they
performed their deeds of charity with scrupulous
devotion, living all their lives “in the great
Taskmaster's eye.”

History says
Wilberforce and many of them gave three hours in
the day to prayer.
Thornton before he married spent six-sevenths of
his income in charity, and afterwards a third.
They observed Sunday with strictness, and their
hymns gave a new popularity and a new brightness
to the service of the Church.

Today
This century treats suggestions of
moral discipline as impositions on
freedom and autonomy, instead of
recognizing that they emanate only
from a genuine relationship with God.
