Proverbs 14:34 “Righteousness exalts a nation, But sin is a disgrace to any people.”

NO SHAME

Why is it in America right now that it seems the more hideous the sin, the more we exalt it? We call people “brave” for stepping out of the closet. We applaud someone’s “right” to blatantly disregard the truth of God’s Word. We fight to “protect” the woman’s choice to kill her child. “Wow Carl, you sure are being harsh today.” I guess this does sound harsh, but in light of the fleeting days until Christ’s return, I feel the urgency to be a voice crying in the wilderness.

All through history we see the downfall of nations was preceded by moral decay. I can’t imagine a nation more morally corrupt than America’s right now. Many of our churches are embracing the LGBT lifestyle as just an alternative to the God ordained marriage between one man and one woman. It seems we are welcoming in, not just whatever someone believes to be true, but we are actually inviting our own destruction.

TEACHING MOMENT

How do we protect our children from this hostile environment? There is only one way. We teach them that there is only ONE truth, and that is God’s Truth. The Word of God is the ONLY source they can rely on each and every day of their life. We must help them to learn Scripture and hide it in their hearts. The day may come when, even in America, the Bible is banned or confiscated. You say, “Come on, Carl. That would never happen.” Well, I am sure our Founding Fathers never imagined an America where we would legally kill our unborn children or openly celebrate a man for becoming a woman.

Will you commit yourself to train your child fully in God’s Word? Will you be a bold witness of the truth, no matter the cost? Will you stand for what God says is right and wrong? Will you confess your own sin of compromise? We must take a stand for something or we will stand for nothing.
