It is an abomination to kings to commit wickedness: for the throne is established by righteousness (Proverbs 16:12, NKJV). Any institution that desires longevity has to have two things in place: a) a coherent structure, b) a moral foundation upon which it is founded. Without a coherent structure (such as community government or school administrators, etc.), it is not long before confusion then chaos begins to rule the day. Without a moral foundation, or an ethical policy, the structure will soon come tumbling down. People within the structure won’t know what needs to be done, how it is to be done or even why it needs to be done. If the structure is in place with a moral foundation, then the institution is strengthened. But if the leadership at top is committed to self-service rather than service to the community, then the community suffers. In time, the community breaks down, falling apart. How much more so with regard to a nation? RT
