We live in perilous times, under the influence of a sick and dysfunctional world. Confusion is everywhere. The ability of the Christian message to influence society has been greatly diminished. Anti-God attitudes and values permeate the culture. This is the state of affairs in the world around us: in our workplaces, schools, communities, and we must ask to what degree in our own families and lives. This message considers the current state of society and exhorts us to not allow ourselves to be pushed aside into a world where our faith has no place.
