America's Spiritual Decline: A Reflection on Righteousness and Justice

In the profound words of Gresham Machen, "America is coasting downhill on a godly ancestry," emphasizing the urgent need for introspection in light of moral decay. This text explores themes of righteousness (tsadaqah) and justice (mishpat) from biblical teachings, underscoring the prophetic warnings against covetousness, hedonism, and other societal woes. It further delves into family legacy, illustrated by Great-uncle George's dedication to applied electronics, and contemplates the Messianic significance of the "Branch of Righteousness." A call for renewal in faith and social conscience.
