Have you ever heard someone say "what is the world coming to" or "can you believe that someone did that"? Are we really shocked by the sin and anguish of the world? The Bible warns us repeatedly.
It pains my heart to hear, see, and/or experience sin. I can't even imagine how Christ feels every time I fail and sin.
Even with the sin and anguish of the world, we must remember and live by Philippians 3:14 "I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus."
Romans 12:2 says, "And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect."
Sin shouldn't be like a cliff that we approach, toes over the edge, rocks falling, and trying to get as close as possible. We need to stay as far away from sin as possible...
