In Touch, the teaching ministry of Dr. Charles Stanley.

Next on In Touch, the courage to stand by your convictions.

One of the most frightening things that's happening today

is the fact that we are raising a whole generation of young people who believe there are no absolute moral truths. That is, if you think it's wrong, it's wrong. If I think it's right, it's right. And so therefore, let's cast the Bible out. And right and

wrong depends upon my circumstance, my situation, and what I want and what I'm looking for in life.

And as a result of that, there's no absolute truth.

There's no real standard.

There's nothing solid to give guidance and direction.

And as a result, our societies become unsafe,

unhealthy, ungodly, immoral, and on and on the characteristics go that bring us to a place where

inevitably God's judgment is going to come upon our nation. We've decided this book's outdated.

In classrooms in college and high school all across the country, this is outlawed. And you say, well, it's not outlawed, yes it is. Now,

I'll tell you why. In this fashion, someone that's very weak.

Their student in school was to write something.

And they were going to mention Jesus

and also mention the Bible.

And the teacher said, you absolutely cannot do that. So she goes to the principal

and the principal says well if I let them do that I'll be fired. Where is conviction? Where are the standards? In

words, if this is no longer a standard, we have none. Then anything anybody believes is all right. And if you'll

think about all the tragedies that have happened in this country all the way

back for the last 10 or 12 years. Are these just accidents?

No. Most people would say, well, you know, these are just natural things that happen.
