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."

But yes, what can we do?

I want ideas. What do people want from me? What does God want?

I didn't do anything to make my culture this messed up. Out of compassion and frustration I want to change the world, but I don't know how.
