Calling Evil Good

There have been a couple of visible trials of late in which the defendate claimed abuse. In order to do this, married couples have been made to appear perverted because of intimate acts in which they engaged in their private relationship.

What is interesting about this is that we live in a society in which "anything goes". One mya be immodest, openly promiscuous, or homosexual. Even amoung some, bestiality is acceptable. In the advice column of the local paper, we are treated with a constant barrage of suggestions that "living together" is an acceptable manifestation of "good relationships" and pregnancy outside of marriage is rewarded

The prophet Isaiah said, "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!"(5:20). Yet our society is filled with sin while we simply celebrate the fact with those so engaged.

The Lord condemns these"works of the flesh" saying, "that those who practice such things will not inherit the Kingdom of God" (Galatians 5:19-20). Those of us who love the truth of God cannot accept such. Nor can we reward those who so engage themselves(Ephesians 5:3-13). We must get straight what is right and what is wrong.
