Do you think we are in a Cultural Shift?

By Lillian Penner

I think we are living a cultural shift. In his book, Cultural Shift, R. Albert Mohler, Jr. writes, “Mass media and technology are exploding. Popular entertainment relentlessly pushes the envelope. Biomedicine stretches boundaries. Political issues shift with the polls, and Christian orthodoxy is questioned on every front. Our world is undergoing a major cultural transformation, leading to a widespread lack of faith, increased moral relativism, and a rejection of absolute truth.”

Today, our dear grandchildren are growing up in a culture where the blame game and self-centeredness are prevalent dishonestly. The times have changed since we raised our children. The parents of our grandchildren desperately need our prayers to help them grow up in this confusing, broken world in which we live. 

Lt. Gen William G. Boykin of the Family Research Council wrote in his blog on July 27, 2022. “Our culture is in a spiritual crisis. The tragedies and violence occurring across our nation are only a symptom of the need for revival in our families, churches, and communities”.  

Satan has launched an aggressive attack using media, technology, education, social influences, and political pressures to desensitize and cloud the boundaries of truth and righteousness that hold nations and families together.

Grandparents who believe in the power of prayer can significantly impact their children, grandchildren, and future generations with daily prayer.. 

Let’s pray fervently on behalf of the next generation!
