Have you ever wondered why we have so much perversion in the world. I was watching the news this morning and seen in Israel where the gay and lesbian community wanted to have a march down the streets of Jerusalem. It's really hard to believe what our country is turning into. We are becoming more sinful by the day. How much longer do we think God will stand by without punishing us? God is patient, not wanting anyone to die in their sin.
We are told in the book of Genesis that God destroyed everything on the earth because of the corruption of mankind.
Genesis;6:1(Then the Lord said, "My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, because he is also flesh; nevertheless his days shall be one hundred and twenty years.")
Prior to this time, men lived to be hundreds of years old.
Genesis;5:5(So all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years and he died.)
Genesis:5:8(So all the days of Seth were nine hundred and twelve years, and he died.)
So we see that man did live a long time, but as the world became more corrupt things changed.
So we can see that man brings upon himself all kinds of trouble.
Genesis;6:5(Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great on the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only on evil continually.)
So God brought the Flood upon mankind and the animals and destroyed all but Noah and his family, and he saved pairs of all the animals, to preserve some of each. God told Noah to go into the ark and close the doors, because God was going to flood the earth and destroy it.
Genesis;7:4(For after seven more days, I will send rain on the earth forty days and forty nights; and I will blot out from the face of the land every living thing that I have made.) And why did God do this? Because the world was corrupt. Why would He not destroy the earth again?
When God saw the wickedness of Sodom and Gamorrah, he destroyed them. What was part of their wickness?
Genesis;19:1(Now the two angels came to Sodom in the evening as Lot was sitting in the gate of Sodom. When Lot saw them, he rose to meet them and bowed down with his face to the ground.) But what did the men of the city do?
Genesis;19:4-5(Before they lay down, the men of the city, the men of Sodom, surrounded the house, both young and old, all the people from every quarter; and they called to Lot and said to him, "Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us that we may have relations with them.) This was one type of perversion that was happening. So God destroyed the cities.
Genesis;19:24-25(Then the Lord rained on Sodom and Gamorrah brimstone and fire from the Lord out of heaven, and He overthrew those cities, and all the valley, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and what grew on the ground.)
Enough is enough? God will not put up with sin forever He give people a chance to repent of their sins. The problem is that people don't believe in God, even though they know He does exist.
[Unbelief and It's Consequences]
Romans;1:18-19(For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them.) So we can tell He exist because He has made it evident to us.
[UNBELIEF]
Romans;1:22-23(Professing to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the incorruptable God for an image in the form of corruptable man and of birds and four-footed animals and crawling creatures.)
[CONSEQUENCES}
Romans;19:24-27(Therefore God gave them over in the lust of their hearts to impurity, so that their bodies would be dishonored among them. For they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever, Amen. For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, and in the same way also men abandoned the natural functiion of the woman and burned in their desire toward on another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of this error.)
[MORE CONSEQUENCES]
Romans;1:28-32(And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper, being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, evil; full of envy, murder, strife, deciet, malice; they are gossips, slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, without understanding, untrust-worthy, unloving, unmerciful, and although they know the ordinances of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, they not only do the same, but also give hearty approval of those who practice them.) Sound like our present world?
We know that sin entered the world and because of sin our world has been becoming more corrupt. We witness these things everyday. All you have to do is read the news paper or watch any news program. The unrighteousness of man is becomming more evident every time we turn around. We know what God says about sin, that it is deserving of death. We as Christains are to be a light in a dark place, a witness for Jesus. No matter how bad a persons lifestyle is, Jesus can set them free from sin.
We need to pray for our country, and our leaders, and our lawmakers. We as a country need to turn from sin. God doesn't tolerate sin and we shouldn't either. As long as we allow people to push God out of our country, they will continue until we say enough is enough. Stand up for Jesus.
God Bless You!
