Proverbs 1:2 To know wisdom and instruction; to perceive the words of understanding; 3 To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment, and equity; 4 To give subtilty to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion. 5 A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels
Persons can now access a plethora of preachers and televangelists, presenting a cacophony of divergent views on the role of Israel, the rapture and the state of the dead. On the other hand, pornography, in its various forms, is permitted under guises which push the very limits of tolerance and rational thought.
Added to this conundrum is the fact that the Bible is no longer the moral authority in modern society, so that it is basically left up to social media executives to determine what will be acceptable, and what will be permitted in the name of freedom of speech and freedom of expression.
The Scriptures were given us as the universal moral compass, to guide the feet of fallen humanity back to the source of life and happiness, even to Christ, our Creator, Redeemer, and soon coming King. But without a generally accepted moral reference point, everyone is left to determine for themselves what is right from wrong and from this perspective, phrases like “My truth” “I did it my way” and “Good without God” have taken deep root. This represents a replica of what had come to be the norm with the Hebrews in ancient times.
Judges 17:6 In those days there was no king in Israel but every man did that which was right in his own eyes.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
