What makes popular culture such a powerful influence in our lives? None of us likes pain, hardship, and definitely not waiting. Our cultural influences come to us from all sides. Do what makes YOU happy, do whatever it takes to reach the top, feeling intitled to have it MY way etc. Our popular cultural is complete opposite of what scripture tells us. Jesus tells us we will have pain., hardships and we will do a lot of waiting for Gods perfect timing. Popular cultural is all about ME (YOU). Scripture tells us it is all about Jesus.
Why is it easier for a parent to let their children do whatever they want? Well, I do not have kids and growing up I seldom to never got whatever I wanted so I cannot answer from personal experience. But I can answer from lots of observation. I feel it is to just avoid conflict, the tantrum, the judging stare from others in public...It is just easier to give in.
What is the danger of taking God lightly? Compliancy is the result of taking God lightly. The idea of, Well I don't think He really meant that verse for today or for me etc.
