But we would do well to think of ourselves in the same way we used to think about the lost people of the mission field. We have become the new heathen. We Americans are the ones now in thrall to primitive superstitions, such as believing in the power of positive thinking and having faith in ourselves. We are the ones held back by a materialistic worldview that has little conception of the supernatural. We are the ones with brutal customs, such as aborting our infants, neglecting our children, and abandoning and sometimes euthanizing our elders. We have simple, pounding music, and we are uneducated about the realities outside of our tribe. With our limited mind-set, we have trouble grasping the truths of Scripture.

Amen .. There is a teaching concept, introduced about 25 to 30 years ago,
being expanded and intensified each year since, that the young should
NEVER be made to feel ashamed of their actions .. It lowers their self
esteem .. Those youngsters, knowing no shame, regardless of their
actions, carry that sense of "Anything Goes" into adulthood

I am in my twilight years .. And am very thankful to have lived in and
with generations past, where only a VERY SMALL PERCENTAGE of the
population had the "Take Care Of Number One .. ME" attitude that is so
prevalent among a near majority today

Pity the nation when the youth of today become adults ..
