7. "For the church to turn aside from its divine work to furnish amusement and recreation is to pervert its mission. It is to degrade its mission. Amusement and recreation should stem from the home rather than the church. The church, like Nehemiah, has a great work to do; and it should not come down on the plains of Ono to amuse and entertain" (B.C. Goodpasture, Gospel Advocate, May 20, 1948).

16. Judgment Call
Last year Americans learned that Magic Johnson had contracted the AIDS virus, New York City schools were handing out condoms to adolescents, and a nephew of President John F. Kennedy had [committed fornication] with a woman he picked up in a bar. Each news event was about something altogether alien to contemporary culture: sin.
Sin isn’t something many people spent much time worrying about in the past 25 years. But we will say this for sin: It at least offered a frame of referenced for behavior. When the frame was dismantled during the sexual revolution, we lost the guidewire of personal responsibility, the rules for proper conduct of sexual relations. Everyone was left on his or her

own. It now appears many people could have used a road map. They needed to be told the direction their sex life was taking was simply wrong.
But moral judgments aren’t made much anymore, especially not in print or on TV. Among intellectuals and commentators, judgment was long ago replaced by therapy. Ministers and priests gave way to clinics and counselors. Instead of giving your kids a dressing-down, you now give him (or her) a condom.
This is not an appeal for prudery, but for prudence. The United States has problems with drugs, high-school sex, AIDS and rape. None of these will go away until people in positions of responsibility come forward and explain, in frankly moral terms, that some of the things people do nowadays are wrong.
