"Do You Ever Blush?"

In the early 1970s, psychiatrist Karl Menninger wrote a book entitled Whatever Became of Sin? Years after Dr. Menninger's death, his question still remains. In fact, it's double underlined and highlighted in yellow marker. Just glance at the headlines...watch the news broadcasts...flip the TV channels...gaze at your internet home page. We can see the loss of shame on an epic scale. Once as I was surfing on the TV I ran across two large, half-naked women cursing and pummeling each other on the stage of a TV studio to the chant of the audience, Jer-ee...Jer-ee! Where will it all end.

Is it true? Has the concept of sin, and it's considerable consequences departed from our society, as a whole.

The escape from the notion of sin is not new to the "baby-boomers" and "generation X'ers." Jeremiah, the prophet of the Old Testament, was inspired to write (concerning Judah) some 2600 years ago; "Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? No! They were not at all ashamed; Nor did they know how to blush. Therefore they shall fall among those who fall; At the time I punish them, They shall be cast down," says the LORD." (Jeremiah 6:15 NKJV)
