Hey everyone, welcome to Pastor Rick Warren's Daily Hope.

Now we're going to continue our series today called Building My Life on Values That Last.

And Rick will press on and show us how we benefit when we apply the biblical principles of trust,

self-control, balance, respect, forgiveness, moral purity, fairness, honesty, and love to our lives.

We will allow almost anything in our minds. We will watch anything regardless

of how perverted it is without changing channels or getting up and leaving. It used to be that

piped into your home every day. You know cable TV, shock jock rock radio and talk shows.

There are 900 phone number lines that you can call for a sexual talk.

There is even now the internet that comes into your home and we are bombarded.

We happen to be in a very sex-saturated society. Would you agree with that?

Here are a few magazine covers of these are not National Inquirer type things.

It's time and Newsweek and US News.

And here are just a few.
