		<description><![CDATA[According to a poll taken by the U.S. Census Bureau in 2007, “Over 12 million unmarried partners live together in 6,008,007 households.” The same poll indicated that the number of cohabiting unmarried partners increased by 88% between 1990 and 2007.[1] Other sources show that the majority of couples marrying today lived together before tying the knot.[2] Unless one has lived in a hole for the past hundred years, it is not difficult to observe the moral decline that seems to permeate the cultural horizon of America and the world. One thing is for sure: Cohabitating has become the norm for unmarried couples.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=theveritasnetwork.org&amp;blog=9555507&amp;post=1962&amp;subd=theveritasnetwork&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Have you ever heard the story of Dorian Gray? If you have, feel free to skip to the next paragraph; if not, allow me to summarize. Dorian Gray was the only novel written by Oscar Wilde. His story followed the life of a young aristocrat, Dorian, who desired nothing more in life than to retain his youth and beauty. To do so, he met a painter and traded his soul for his beauty. The painter painted a picture that would age and change with the ravages of time, while Dorian himself never changed. Dorian then embarked on a life of debauchery in which he entertained his every whim and desire, and his painting was the only evidence of the destruction of his soul. After twenty years Dorian saw his painting which he normally kept hidden, and he was mortified to see the true state of his soul. He was so distraught that he took a knife and stabbed the painting, but when he stabbed the painting which displayed his corrupted soul, he actually killed himself.

The story of Dorian Gray is a remarkable parallel to the use of modern social medias. Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, Online Dating sites, and many other networks like them enable us to create an identity altered in the way we prefer. We have all learned to display that which is most beautiful and desirable about ourselves, while carefully shutting the door on our flaws. Like young Dorian, we can hide and distort those little things that we don't want others to know about. In short, the modern man is capable of reshaping his own image in the way that he desires irrespective of the total truth.

I am not trying to make the argument that social networking is wrong. Like all other things, the medium itself is not sinful, it is the way we put them to our use that brings forth the use of the terms right versus wrong. The application of the medium is the topic of my concern.

There has been much discussion lately on the issue of cultural engagement and strict faithfulness to God&#8217;s Word.  It seems that many people lean either towards an overemphasis on being so &#8216;like&#8217; the culture in engaging the culture that they mirror the world in [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=theveritasnetwork.org&amp;blog=9555507&amp;post=909&amp;subd=theveritasnetwork&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Meaning has been lost in our culture today. This loss of meaning was brought forth by the loss of truth. Freidrich Neitszche is the father of nihilism, the philosophy which declares all things as meaningless. Many people today have difficulty finding meaning in their lives, and whether they know it or not, it is because they are slowly following down a dry and lonely path that leads to nihilism. The dominant perspective on truth in the western world today is one of relativism. By declaring truth relative, one essentially declares truth as nonexistent. This is how Nietszche understood the world, and he was dedicated enough to the pursuit of his philosophy to follow it wherever it led; in the end of his life, it led to insanity. He lost the will to live, because he knew that his life could hold no meaning. This should be a frightening example of where the erosion of truth can lead. Without truth there is no meaning, and without meaning there is no purpose.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=theveritasnetwork.org&amp;blog=9555507&amp;post=516&amp;subd=theveritasnetwork&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
