WHY CORRUPTION KILLS
If the pork barrel scam exposy shocked us, and Yolanda's show of force left us with questions asked, corruption should awestruck us more. Here's why. 1. Corruption is politically lethal; 2. It is economically undermining; and 3. spiritually destructive. Where in the world we go to prove this? The Bible is the best source of proofs that this is so. But if you choose "The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire" by William Shirer, you'd glean valuable proofs to ponder there. But the Bible points out the destruction of the twelve tribes of Israel, the so-called Chosen People of God. What remained is just Israelis, remnants of two tribes of Benjamin and Judah. And what remained of their promised land is just what this people now occupies. Larger portion of that are and have become Arab lands. Because corruption is one spiritual disease, it is more lethal than physical. It kills the spirit in you, your passage to eternal inheritance with God. And when your spirit dies, your body dies with it. You'd be twice dead!
