Here we are in 2017, sadly we continue to see things getting worse.
We are living in a day when unmarried couples are having babies and "Christians" are congratulating them for their new baby, as though there is nothing wrong in the world with immoral relations.
Yes, I know, this is why my relatives and former friends run from me, I hate the sin that is being celebrated these days and say so. This makes most everyone very uncomfortable.
Do we really think that embracing and endorsing sin is going to cause it to stop. Or, are we afraid of what people will do to us when we speak the truth about rebellion against God?
Jeremiah 6:14-16 "…14 "They have healed the brokenness of My people superficially, Saying, 'Peace, peace,' But there is no peace. 15 "Were they ashamed because of the abomination they have done? They were not even ashamed at all; They did not even know how to blush. Therefore they shall fall among those who fall; At the time that I punish them, They shall be cast down," says the LORD. 16 Thus says the LORD, "Stand by the ways and see and ask for the ancient paths, Where the good way is, and walk in it; And you will find rest for your souls. But they said, 'We will not walk in it.'…"
Yes, I have been "chastised" for rebuking people for celebrating things that were once a shame to mention and in God's eyes they still are sin.
Babies out of of wedlock represent an immoral act, the baby is not at fault, but the parents are flaunting their sin as though it is as normal and natural as a couple who waited until they were married to enjoy that union.
When a young couple are repentant for their sin, resolving to do the right thing in marrying to provide a decent home for their child, then we can rejoice over the repentance, while providing for the baby. But as long as a couple remain unmarried, they should not receive the same benefits as those who did it all God's way.
