Forgetting How To Blush
Sin is a strange thing. It is the breaking of divine commandments. It is the breaking of one's own integrity. D. H. Lawrence
Jeremiah the Profit said, "Are they ashamed of their detestable conduct? No, they have no shame at all; they do not even know how to blush" (Jer. 6:15)
What lies at the heart of a culture that no longer knows how to blush is a culture that no longer knows the truth. The apostle Paul said about his own generation, "God gave them over to sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. They exchanged the truth of God for a lie." (Romans 1:24-25)

Does any of this sound familiar? Has America forgotten how to blush? What does our music, television, movies, and just or common everyday conversational language say about us?
