I imagine you have gotten emails, or perhaps seen articles on TV about  the "Shocking Values" in our world today. I just saw one a little while ago. Clearly the values of the Western world have declined to levels that should give us a jolt. I fear, though, that way too many of us are like some old electricians I heard of some years ago. The wire-benders had received so many shocks over the years that a mere hundred-and-ten volt circuit barely gave them a tingle. They would show off, by sticking their finger in a light socket to test whether or not it was hot. Not recommended in the electrical code book.
I see the syndrome all around me in the ethical, moral realm. Way too many people have become way too unshockable.
OK, let me make a confession.
The article on shocking values was an advertisement for a Christmas sale at a discount store. But I wasn't in the market for anything anyhow, so I figured . . .
It's STTA.
Are they ashamed of their loathsome conduct?
No, they have no shame at all;
they do not even know how to blush.
(Jeremiah 6:15a, NIV).
