Do you remember a world where prayers at football games and graduations were not a problem? Do you remember when most boys wanted to grow up, get an education and a job, marry a woman, have children and be a husband and father? Do you remember when most girls wanted to grow up, get an education and a job, but also wanted to marry a man and be a wife and mother? How did everything get so crazy? This study looks back at 160 years of American culture to search for the answer. True solutions lie in the hearts and lives of Christians. However, we must be courageous enough to allow the Sword of the Spirit to reach into our hearts, correct our flaws, and strengthen us to live deliberate, rededicated lives for Christ. We must find the courage to live our faith, use our talents to positively affect our homes, congregations, and communities, and lead searching souls to the truth of the gospel.
