Okay so some have said that our society isn't crumbling it's changing. Now I ask you this...is it changing for the better or for the worse?

I don't think our society is crumbling when it comes to technology. I do think, however, that our society is crumbling when it comes to morals, virtues and standards.

You say that society is crumbling due to morals, virtues, and standards. Those change with every year. What is immoral yesterday may not be moral tomorrow or vice versa. It was moral to publicly torture people 300 years ago. Today it is not. It was immoral for a girl to go out in public without a male escort. Today it is not.
We have a much better respect of individual rights these days. There are many organizations working to make sure that people who do not have their rights are able to get them.
Yes, there is crime going on. Guess what. It was going on 50 years ago and even before that. It is not accepted. That is why people are arrested and are punished still. So, the morality is not gone there in society. The morality for the individual will be gone. 50 years ago there were people who did not have the same morality as the rest of society. Ed Gein is a perfect example of this. You can find other examples in history if you just look.
I guess it should be asked, exactly what examples do you suggest show that society is crumbling?

Because it is being built on a sand foundation. The creation was build on the foundation of Truth. Without accepting truth as a corner stone to a society or even a daily walk, you cannot expect to create anything with a full deck. If your first step is in truth, then the rest will follow. If you start out rationalizing and intellectualizing, you have failed before you start. Let us not first assume anything. Let;s know that we know that we know. This society is built on historical reality. We either have a future that is based on Love in the now moment or we have a future based on the possibility that it will happen the same way in the future if we use the same method. Since only God knows the future then we are at best guessing and perhaps even creating a self fulfilling reality based on our knowledge. If we do the later we must also take it beyond what we achieved in the past and realize it didn't work in the end or we would already be successful. Too much satan and not enough God. It can only be one or the other and man has a tendency for the natural and he is suppose to operate in the supernatural...

I don't think our society is crumbling....look at all of the advances we have made in the past 100 years....look at all of the good things that people do for each other every day...the millions of dollars and labor hours that people volunteer each and every day....just to make the world a better place...we, in the United States have great wealth...great freedoms and protection.....seems that you have your sights set on man and his shortcomings instead of the good things all around us.
If churches would get back to doing what they are called to do...caring for the sick, widowed and orphans...and stop being political...maybe you could see the good that can come when people of faith put their faith into action...until that time...you will probably only see a crumbling society...because of the lack of work by the fundamentalists.

Our society is not crumbling; we have the highest, broadest levels of education, wealth and health, and the lowest levels of crime of any civilization ever. Whatever examples you give of our "crumblingness" are not any worse than they have ever been.

It's not crumbling it's changing, change is inevitable although it does seem to be speeding up. Learn to adapt and try to embrace change or you'll be left behind.

God's Word says "Where there is no vision, the people will perish" ( Proverbs 29:18 ). So, in other words, when there is no vision....there is spiritual blindness, and where there is ignorance of God "sin" runs amuck.
