To Do Good Or Do Evil!

Isaiah; 5:20
(Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!)
We see this going on in our society today. We are in a state of moral decay and not only do we see this but it is promoted on radio and television. Look at some of the TV shows that are broadcast every night. I don't know how you feel about it but there is not much on television worth watching.

When you watch the news, all we see is what the news media wants us to see. Take what is going on in the middle east. All we see is the damage that Israel does when they retaliate against Hamas attacks. We don't see the pain that the people of Israel experience when they are attacked by Hamas rockets or suicide bombers. Why don't we see this side in the news? It is so the news media can influence our opinion against the people of Israel instead of against Hamas who wants to destroy the State of Israel. Here you have the people of God under attack and the news media says it is Israel's fault for defending itself. How can protecting yourself from terrorist be wrong?

We have the homosexual community demanding equal rights in marriage, and adoption when what they are doing is an abomination to God. They are breaking God's moral laws. I'm not their judge, but I am suppose to be able to discern what God has said is wrong as wrong. God hates sin in any form and we are not to condone it. God doesn't hate the individual involved in this sin, but he does hate the sin. What is happening in the world is that we are being desensitized to this form of sin.

Darkness (EVIL) is beginning to replace light (GOOD) and we don't seem to care. It has been happening for years and has been so subtle that we have been lulled into accepting it as the norm. What used to be banned on television in the form of language and nudity is accepted and if it isn't there the ratings drop. So as a society we have exchanged good for evil.

If we want God to continue to bless this nation of ours, we had better turn from our evil ways and repent and ask for forgiveness. All through history, nations that have morally decayed have fallen from power and ceased to exist. We are no different today than they were. If we continue on this wide path of destruction, we will succeed in destroying ourselves. History has repeated itself and it won't stop because of us. When our nation used to be a shinning light in a dark world and we stood up for what was right, now we have become despised by the rest of the world. Why has that happened? It is because we have turned our back on God who was the sole reason for our prosperity. We have exchanged righteousness for unrighteousness and we are reaping the consequences.

If we hope to become the nation we used to be, we need to return to God. He is the only hope we have in this evil world.
2Chronicles; 7:14
(if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.)

God Bless You!
