Moral Ambiguity

In Isaiah 5:20, God condemned the Israelites for calling good evil and evil, good. It is no secret that this is still the case. I see it every day. A very popular license plate frame says, "From 0 to bitch in 30 seconds." Really??? Is that considered a virtue, now? I'd rather be "known by my gentleness". (Phil. 4:5.) ( . . . and kindness, forgiveness, peace, patience, joy, and all the other qualities and attitudes that God deems virtuous.) There are many such instances of evil being called good, such as taking any firm and definite stand for what you believe. I believe without doubt or question that homosexuality is wrong and unnatural. Many people would curse me for having a belief that will not be changed. Another evil prevalent today is rejecting and disrespecting authority. God calls us to obey our leaders and pray for them. Good things are daily misrepresented as evil. I believe it is good and right to wait until you're married before you share a home or a bed. But then how will you know if you and your mate are compatible? You won't. You'll trust God and you'll love each other and "bear with each other" (Eph. 4:2) no matter what. I also believe it is good for me to love my husband, and only him, until I die. Some may say this is naive, or that I am limiting myself and stunting my personal growth.

These are just a few examples of how society has gone topsy-turvy, and has rejected God and His perfect plan for our peace. I think we all need to search our own hearts to see whether we are living lives and thinking in ways that please God, and we also need to stand apart and not accept, approve of, or embrace that which God detests. We cannot afford moral or religious ambiguity.
