The Culture Has Gone Stark Raving Mad

The culture has gone stark raving mad! Those that do not do the sins that are offensive to God will approve of those who do them. This is equally offensive, perhaps because the acceptance of these sins there is created a lazy attitude in the entire culture.

Ephesians 5:6-8 "…6 Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things God’s wrath comes on the sons of disobedience. 7 Therefore do not be partakers with them. 8 For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light,…"

The more sin abounds in a culture the less justice there is and the more injustice rules every area of life.

Isaiah 59:2-4 "…2 But your iniquities have built barriers between you and your God, and your sins have hidden His face from you, so that He will not hear. 3 For your hands are stained with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, and your tongue mutters injustice. 4 No one calls for justice; no one pleads his case honestly. They rely on empty pleas; they tell lies; they conceive mischief and give birth to iniquity.…"

The more sin is ignored or accepted the more it grows. Those whose heart is inclined toward sin but are restrained in practicing it, will have less influence in the culture for fear of rejection.

The law is made for the law breaker. Those who have good hearts do not need laws they simply don't want to do bad things. Those with pretend goodness will do the sins as soon as they can get away with it without any rejection for it.

1 Timothy 1:8-10 "…8 Now we know that the Law is good, if one uses it legitimately. 9 We realize that law is not enacted for the righteous, but for the lawless and rebellious, for the ungodly and sinful, for the unholy and profane, for killers of father or mother, for murderers, 10 for the sexually immoral, for homosexuals, for slave traders and liars and perjurers, and for anyone else who is averse to sound teaching…"

In our county we have around 70% of the babies born out of wedlock. Since everyone is throwing baby showers and giggling over their extended bellies, there is no sense of shame for engaging in sin that produced those babies.

Shame is nearly a thing of the past now. Parents are coddling their adult children by not chastising them for their sinful behavior. The fear of being abandoned by their children for correcting them drives the weak minded parents to protect sin and engage with their children no matter what sin they live.

If I am weary of watching this nonsense imagine how God must feel!!!!!

To ignore God's principles is the same as ignoring Him. To pretend He never gave any rules is to mock Him.

Dismissiveness of God's principles is dismissiveness of God.

1 John 1:9
"9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."

But we have to want to be cleansed, God will not force anyone, but He will bring mighty big consequences, spankings that help us see our stubborn hearts.
