Dennis Hall and his guest, Justin Bohner, Assistant Pastor, First Baptist Church, Highlands, NC discuss the fact that almost 90% of the adults in America are concerned about the state of moral values in the nation. Two-thirds of all American adults see morality as a matter of cultural consensus, meaning every culture must determine acceptable morality for its people. In spite of this, almost 60% believe the Bible provides the absolute moral truths which are the same for all people, in all situations, without exception. David Kinnaman, President of Barna Research, believesthat moral code that can be called "the morality of self-fulfillment" has all but replaced Christianity as the culture's norm. With this backdrop, the discussion focuses on the scriptural teaching in 1 John 2:15-16, "Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in him. For everything in the world – the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the Hepride of life – comes not from the Father but from the world. The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever. " The concerns of listeners who do not feel much love for God or feel that their love for God has grown weak and cool is discussed in the closing moments of this podcast.
