Have you ever felt you needed protection from the Bible and from Christian values?
Seems many in today’s society feel that they need protection from what God says. They try to drown it out or make it illegal in public. They say, “Keep it hidden away in your home or church, but your beliefs are not valid in public”; only their view is valid in public.
One example is abortion. Many today think that dismembering children is fine as long as all or part of them at least is still inside the mother. Then they want protection from the Bible and those awful things it says about God giving life. One of the sins of the people of Cana was sacrificing their babies to their god, but we are so clever we can do it before they are even born. My country has certainly changed in my lifetime! God said these people were to be wiped out, completely destroyed, so that they would not corrupt His people, but today they are accepted.
Look at the sexual perversion that is accepted today even in churches. There are so many living together who are not married that it is not even raising an eyebrow among many in the church. Yet these same people will rise up and denounce some sinner with a different sin. It is time to say “here is what God says” and believe it and obey it!
Both these groups and others are not only involved openly in sin, but are saying it is fine and condoning and even celebrating their sin.
Today, this verse from Isaiah is again very true!
“Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness; Who substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!” Isaiah 5:20
The only way to make a difference that will last is to change human hearts and only God can do that. Pray for revival in your heart and that God will use you to bring those to Jesus who accept and applaud evil. Only God can give them a new heart and a new life.
Then they can repent and join in the fight against our true enemy – the god of this world.
The world needs protection from the lies of the devil, not the truth of God. Jesus said in John 14:6, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me” and if we “know the truth, and the truth will set you free” (John 8:32). Let Jesus use you to shed light in this dark world that is “exchanging the truth of God for a lie”! (Romans 1:25)
