Ephesians 4:19

“Having lost all sensitivity, they have given themselves over to sensuality so as to indulge in every kind of impurity, with a continual lust for more.”

It is frightening to observe the way our entire society has become desensitized. Things that only a short time ago would have shocked and astounded people are accepted as the norm.

Repeatedly police investigators are confronted with murder scenes of abject violence and mayhem. When the offender is apprehended and finally confesses, his defense can often be: “He did not show me respect so he deserved to die.”

Music that glorifies premarital sex is common and barely raises an eyebrow. I am told that certain songs even encourage rape and violence.

We have winked at perversions until those who engage in such relationships flaunt their sin with impunity and demand to have rights previously reserved for a husband and wife.

Unborn babies have been slaughtered because they would inconvenience the mother. In this regard, a late term baby may be aborted with no repercussion—yet if the mother is murdered and her unborn child also dies, the murderer is charged with two counts of murder. Hello! Is something missing here?

My prayer is that we will be increasingly sensitive to the sinful things around us. May we continually be asking ourselves: “What would Jesus do in this situation?” I pray that we will have the courage to live by God’s righteous standards.

Blessings dear hearts. Draw near to God today, trust Him completely and be a blessing!
