| 0:00.0 | We're living in a day when there are massive cultural forces wanting you to just bow, to surrender, |
| 0:06.2 | to give up and to give in. |
| 0:08.5 | And what we're seeing is a lot of people are bowing down to the world. |
| 0:11.7 | And so here's one latest survey, |
| 0:14.6 | and it comes from a recent book, |

| 1:09.0 | were saying, I'm a Christian, now they're bowing down. They are leaving the church, they are leaving the |
| 1:14.4 | Bible, they are leaving prayer, they are leaving Jesus Christ in record numbers. It is concerning. |
