It might help me understand if you would mention some particular issues you have in mind. What values are no longer respected by the wider society?
One of the more prominent ones that comes to mind is Sexual values. They have moved decidedly into a libertine direction where we are told as long as we don't physically hurt someone any sexual act is fine. It's not that we don't have sexual values but they have certainty not anything approaching the Christian sexual ethic of yesteryear.
It's also not that we lack values. If I said that before I'll clarify now. It's that the values have morphed into something wholly unchristian. Hence, why should the Christian abide by those secular values which are becoming more and more unacceptable. I've seen people argue that you shouldn't be a doctor if you won't perform an abortion. I've seen secularists gladly seek to impose on Christians their standards of non-discrimination. We've seen in the USA many attempts to get people fired for positions which were regarded as normal but now are considered taboo, like the firefox CEO.
