I see it in girls' (and I emphasize 'girls') clothing becoming more defined by revealing fashion rather than God's Word. Or, the increasingly popular view of marriage, where I-deserve-more attitudes have replaced the weight of an oath taken before God. Or, the selfish fixation on physical beauty vs. the true inner beauty that never fades... and on, and on... It is too easy to buy into these sub-par standards when we are inundated with them. Thank you for the reminder, Ryan/Wiersbe, to battle these stimuli with what we know to be true and unchanging - God, Himself.
