Does it bother anyone else that the world seems to be pressuring its inhabitants to ignore morality, turn off their consciences, and live a life of sin? We're bombarded with messages that sex is just a game, people are nothing but objects to be manipulated for our own gain, women should dress like whores to be considered 'beautiful', and guys, if you're still a virgin by age 20 something must be wrong with you.
It's not hard to slip into this downward spiral of sin and lies. Why not live as if there are no consequences to our actions? There's no one to keep us in check. It's not like God's a factor anymore--He's been torn out of schools, ripped out of public places, and covered up so as not to 'offend' anyone. And with God out of the picture, it's a lot easier to believe that this world is the only one that matters.
But the truth is, God does exist no matter how hard some people try to wipe away all visible traces of Him. Our actions do have consequences--both here in this world and in the next. And while God may be getting pushed aside in public places for the sake of the 'politically correct', we must remember that as long as humanity exists, no one can fully erase the evidence of God's presence. We ourselves are examples of morality, modesty, and lives of virtue. Instead of flowing with the crowd and ignoring our consciences, fight against it. Be that person who attracts attention because you act with integrity, dress respectfully, and refuse to remove God from the equation. Be that person who makes other people question their own actions. Be that person who upholds and glorifies the manner in which we were created--in the image and likeness of God.
And through this, let's show Britney, and the rest of the world, that living in sin is not the new thing.
