Here is one of my favorite quotes from The Journals of Jim Elliot. If you don't have his journal, I recommend that you get it and read it slowly. The man was a maniac. May we be that way for Christ.
"I sense that I am dwelling in a generation to whom nothing is holy. Sacredness is an aspect this people never assumes toward anything. In a rebellious reaction to Victorian prudishness, they revel in bald frankness which enervates moral consciousness. Tragedy is that I feel it affecting me. We have a noncommittal morality. Nothing is so bad, and nothing is so good. Everything is a muddle of both." Jim Elliot
Not much has changed, eh?
