Adultery is still wrong. Fornication is still wrong. Lying, stealing, cheating and coveting are still wrong.
However, this generation does not want to hear the truth.
As I said earlier, nobody's a sinner nowadays.

I think the legalists of the world are having a hard time keeping their control over people. I will add that licentiousness is going to be the over-correction, but that grace-centered, spirit-led sanctification is ultimately the answer. We have to learn to be comfortable with what we view as a mess, but is really just something other than mass uniformity.
