American Values [One Minute Feature]

American family values have traditionally been defined by patriotism and religious freedom. Now, it seems that those very values are changing.

Why has there been a shift in values? Where did these changes begin?

Changes in Modern American Values

A recent survey found that the values Americans say define our national character are changing. Wow, did we really need a survey to establish that? So, why is patriotism, religion, and having kids far less important to young people today? For that matter, why were these things ever important?

For the next several days, I’ll share my thoughts as to why our values are changing, and what we can do to help preserve them. My opinion is that it all started with the postmodern thought, birthed in the 1960s, and proliferated via the internet today. Your homework is to Google postmodernism, and then plug it into what I share next time.

"When I met the kids (at SHA), and saw the glow of transformation on their faces, it spoke to me that Shepherd's Hill Academy was more than 'Just what the doctor ordered.' It is a holistic, spiritual and therapeutic approach to healing that provides an atmosphere for learning and a proving ground for the uncompromising time-tested truths of scripture." - John Rosemond, American Columnist

"It is such a wonderful, God inspired thing you have done to help all of these children. I think people would love to read your book and learn more. You have helped changed so many lives, people will want to realize & learn about the work you are doing. It is so important." - Doris Newcomb, WFAX
