I've been reading...

...Ben Shapiro's book Porn Generation : How Social Liberalism is Corrupting our Future.

First off, I have to say that I'm glad that someone from my generation is speaking up. In the book Shapiro points out all the ways that our generation is becoming jaded to the rampant decline of morality and offers suggestions on what to do about it. The book takes a good moral snapshot of America and offers insights into the jadedness of American youth.

I can't say I'm in complete agreement with all the conclusions and solutions he gives but I do want to bring out one point that he mentioned. Christians are becoming a part of the moral deviancy of America. What should we expect from the world if we as believers don't mind a little conservative deviancy too. God tells us to "not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God." Romans 12:2

We've conformed in many cases and in many ways. Shouldn't the culture of Christians be getting more and more different as the world gets more and more devient?

Let's be different. Let's be the ones that put the world's morality in context.

Hi, you don't know me, but somehow i came across your blog and I'm so happy to find another Christian musician! I'm a violinist from the Canton area and will be returning to school for masters in violin performance. I used to play in the Cleveland Orchestra's youth orchestra, so I recognized a lot of people you mentioned in your blog. I recently read Shapiro's Porn Generation, and totally agree that it's nice to know there are other young people like us who recognize the decline in morality. All hope is not lost!
