Reformation Day Riches#273His point was that these perverse behaviors display how the myth of male dominance is played out in our society. That was his point. He also spoke of the rise of this behavior in the last twenty years. He gave many statistics and examples to back up his claim. The lecture ended with a short exhortation to work toward the reduction of such behaviors. I left the lecture with two thoughts. First, there has been a dramatic rise in violent crime, including rape. In the past thirty years, there has been a 560% increase in violent crime. Now, one in every four women in America may experience rape. The statistics are staggering. But during the last twenty years, what else has happened? There is less prayer in public places. The Bible and the standards of the Bible have been taken out of our schools. The Ten Commandments and the morality of the Ten Commandments have been taken from our young people, in many cases, by court order. We are reaping the results of this turn away from God and the Bible. Second, the sociologist outlined the problem all right, but he did not give a solution. The real solution involves a revival of Christianity. It involves reformation. This means lives changed by the power of God as He changes human hearts. God changes rapists and pornographers into different people. Such a Reformation began in Europe on October 31, 1517. It can occur today in America. It is much needed today in America.
