ARE YOU BECOMING DESENSITIZED TO CHRISTIAN VALUES ?

BY JOHN LYSAUGHT

How has society as a whole become desensitized to Christian values and more accepting of liberal viewpoints that are contrary to God ’ s Word ?

Look around . Look at the world Christians live in . Is it normal ?
Are morals pretty good ? How about Christian biblical values ? There is a desensitization of Christian values by society on a holistic level . There are pockets in cities , towns , and neighborhoods that have a stronger Christian culture than others , but even this is diminishing .
Society is not Christ centered . Society places a large focus on the individual and being destined to define their own future to the ends of getting what they want and when they want it , regardless of what Christ died for or what He wants from man .
Satan has a hold o f this world and Chris tians are be- coming a minority , seemingly being pushed to the fringes of society because we are seen as not “ keeping up with the times ”.
Today ’ s society is all about self .
