The Index of leading cultural indicators, published by Heritage Foundation, demonstrates that the practice of sacrificial living as outlined in the New Testament is a fading reality. Over the last three decades in the United States:

• The marriage rate has declined by half
• The divorce rate has more than doubled
• The percentage of children with single mothers has nearly tripled.
• The number of births to unwed mothers has quintupled.

Statistics such as these are evidence of the consequences of neglecting the Jesus-ordained pattern of submission, one to another.
