Eric Ludy defines the “Spirit of the Age” as the current reigning behavior, compulsion, and attitude of the world’s system. It is living according to the course, the pattern, the mindset of the world rather than living Biblically, according to the nature and mindset of God. Though this “spirit of the age” has permeated every generation, it appears to be invading the modern Church at ever increasing rates. In this powerful and convicting sermon, Pastor Ludy uses the story of Absalom in the Old Testament to showcase what happens when we justify our sin and allow it to remain in our lives. This is a sermon for everyone who is concerned for where the Church is heading as well as for those struggling with personal sin.
