Hatred, rape, abortion, alcoholism, drug abuse, anger, prejudice, murder, greed, child abuse, hate crimes, drinking and driving, bullying, and domestic violence.

These are just the tip of the iceberg of the problems that infect secular society. They are symptoms of the disease of sin—the persistent pandemic that forever plagues the human race. Albert Einstein was right when he said, “It is easier to denature plutonium than to denature the evil spirit of man.”

These social issues are like stubborn leaks in an old house in a rain storm. If we stop one, another breaks through right beside it.

God gives us a brand new roof when we are born again. However, it is important to remember that the gospel wasn’t given by God to clean up sinful society. It was given to save us from death and Hell, and through it, the symptoms of sin subside.
