Desensitized

A young Englishman was in Germany when the Nazis degraded the Jews in the streets. At first he was sick at the sight and rushed down a side street. The next time he felt he could look and stopped for a full minute. The third time he watched. The fourth time, as he stood with the jeering crowd, the sight seemed less revolting. He was becoming, he told himself, "objective." And with this came the realization of its peril…. How can one reach such depths that he becomes desensitized? How sad that so many have become calloused to the things that go on around us!

An unborn child is killed every 20 seconds, which amounts to more than 1,500,000 per year.

The mention of God and Jesus has become a matter of abhorrence. In their place, schools now promote condoms, safe sex, and godless humanism.

Our society glorifies murder, rape, adultery, homosexuality, nudity, profanity, and fornication through movies and television.

"Churches" have reached out to those in immoral relationships and accepted them.

Many have become desensitized to sin.

"Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? N0! They were not at all ashamed; nor did they know how to blush" (Jer. 6:15a).
