Isaiah 5:20 3/20/2018 *8/19*

“Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.”

How is your moral compass?

We are living in a time where it has become stylish to cloud moral distinctions, and it is considered “enlightened” to blur the lines between right and wrong.

This is the natural outcome of a society that does not acknowledge God and is involved in a thinly veiled attempt to take His place.

Today those who stand for truth are considered intolerant and judgmental. If you wish to be considered progressive and broad minded you must embrace evil and call it good.  You must mislabel what is written on your heart as sinful, and mistakenly call it freedom. 

God says this is a dangerous practice and those involved in calling evil good will suffer for promoting that falsehood.

Step back and re-evaluate what you have accepted. Consider what, out of repetition, has become non-offensive to you and compare it with the clear standards in God’s word.
Right and wrong are non-negotiable. Neither the number of detractors, nor their volume will impact God’s holy standard. And those who attempt to move it will suffer the consequences.
Read the word. Apply it to your life and be one of the few who still offer light in an increasingly dark world.
It may not be popular, but it is desperately needed… and will save you and those who follow you.
“It is curious that physical courage should be so common in the world and moral courage so rare”
-Mark Twain
