"Take a journey back in time to the America of a few generations ago. How easy it would be to offend a person 30,40 or 50 years ago? The majority of people would not only be offended to hear a crude word spoken, but would not even tolerate it. Not too many years ago, people would be offended to see open sin paraded around in public. At one time, people would be offended to see children speaking disrespectfully to an elder. Not long ago, our country and flag were greatly honored, and to show disrespect to either was offensive. And the thought of someone openly condemning Christianity in America was unthinkable.
The generations past were easily offended by insulting behaviors, filthy language, open immorality,ant-patriotism, and blatant disregard for spiritual matters. Oh, how the times have changed! Today, it seems as though deliberate decay of our culture is not only tolerated but joyfully embraced.
And yet, through the eyes of the world, there are still plenty of offenses which must not be tolerated: Christianity, absolute truth,holy living, the name of Jesus Christ, submission to authority, and of course, the homeschool movement."
