Dangers Of Bowing To Idols. Part 13] 09/27/2022 (Evening thought)

Genesis 17:1 And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the Lord appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect.

 The words: “Be thou perfect” in the context, shows us that God was displeased with the actions of His servant, Abraham, and whenever, and wherever it has become the norm to do evil, because of some apparent benefit, the same words do apply: “Walk before Me and be thou perfect.”

 Same-sex marriages are also products of a modern philosophical idol, which pits the ideologies of our fallen nature against “It is written”, and so many of the people have bowed down to this idol, that it has become the law of the land, to the point where any who dare to differ are proscribed, and often visited with economic persecution in many instances.

Thus, God’s truth is turned by philosophical idols into something dark and foreboding, while evil is highlighted as being righteousness. Defenders of God-ordained marriage are now labeled as haters. This very sad and very unfortunate situation caused Isaiah to pen the following words, in grief of mind.

Isaiah 59:14 And judgment is turned away backward, and justice stands afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter. 15 Yea, truth fails; and he that departs from evil makes himself a prey: and the Lord saw it, and it displeased him that there was no judgment.

May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
