What Will We Do About It?

I was struck by this when I heard it on Generations Radio (at www.sermonaudio.com).

Consider these words from Douglas Phillips, president of Vision Forum.

"We can say that it’s under our watch, as this generation, that we’re seeing the single greatest devastating impact on family life in the history of Christendom, in the sense that

- ours is the generation that’s redefining marriage

- ours is the generation that has sent the largest number of women out of the home into the workplace, thus transforming the nature of the family

- ours is the generation in which men have set aside their duty as defenders and allowed women to go out to the field of battle protecting the home

- ours is the generation that has an unprecedented divorce rate

And the list goes on and on.


The problem with Christians today is they think that’s normal.
It is not normal.
It is crisis-level."

Prayers of Surrender

I am no longer my own,
but Thine.
Put me to what Thou wilt;
Rank me with whom Thou wilt.
Put me to doing,
Put me to suffering.
Let me be employed by Thee
or laid aside for Thee,
exalted for Thee or brought low by Thee.
Let me be full;
Let me be empty.
Let me have all things;
Let me have nothing.
I freely and heartily yield all things to Thy pleasure and disposal.
-- John Wesley

I have been before God,
and have given myself, all that I am and have,
to God;
so that I am not, in any respect, my own...
I have given myself clear away,
and have not retained anything
as my own.
-- Jonathan Edwards
