Who is the one who will stand for righteousness and justice when others call evil good, for that is the one who will be favored by the most high.

Proverbs 9:10-11 (NIV)

10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom,

and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.

11 For through wisdom your days will be many, and years will be added to your life.

Where are the true justice warriors? Those who stand for truth even when it costs them?

Truth is one of the only things that truly stands the test of time. Though man attempts to change it again and again, the truth always prevails. God created it to be that way so that regardless of how far we fall, the truth will still remain.

When society builds its framework upon the truth of the word of God then it flourishes but when it rejects truth then the natural consequence begins to create decay and destruction. Either God is God and the laws which govern truth are His to enforce or we are our own God and the universe will revolve around our truth. We cannot have it both ways.

When society calls evil good and good evil then you know a generation is on the verge of chaos and destruction. Let us call forth a generation that will hold true to the word of God rather than asking God to adjust His mercy and justice to our standard.

Sexual sin is one of the areas where God’s truth is being challenged by societies throughout the earth. I get it, that man believes he has become more civilized than God but the irony is off the chart.

Young and naive believers often fail to realize that He is a jealous God. Jealous for His bride to remain true to Him. Do we really believe we can take fire into our belly without getting burned.

If our preference allows us to have sex with those we are not married to, those of our same sex, to children or to animals, then our sexual preference is outside the bounds of scriptural truth.

Below is some scripture where Father God lays out His conviction on our preferences.

Romans 1:21-32 (NIV)

21 For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles.

24 Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. 25 They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.

26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. 27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.

28 Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done. 29 They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, 30 slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; 31 they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, no mercy. 32 Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.

Isaiah 5:20-24 (AMP)

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!

21 Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes and prudent and shrewd in their own sight!

22 Woe to those who are mighty heroes at drinking wine and men of strength in mixing alcoholic drinks!—

23 Who justify and acquit the guilty for a bribe, but take away the rights of the innocent and righteous from them!

24 Therefore, as the tongue of fire devours the stubble, and as the dry grass sinks down in the flame, so their root shall be like rottenness and their blossom shall go up like fine dust—because they have rejected and cast away the law and the teaching of the Lord of hosts and have not believed but have treated scornfully and have despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.

The Bible says now is the time to change our mind and come into blessing rather than consequence. God is not changing His mind about this. Many of the present day issues and even plagues and illnesses are a direct byproduct of the willful sin perpetrated by societal vice. Do not be fooled by societal sentiment, for societies come and go. It is the righteous who will inherit the land.

Could it be that we have blown God off a little more than we should have?
