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!

Deuteronomy 30:14 But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it. 15 See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil.

The evaluation, and publishing of content, while at the same time, balancing, and protecting freedom of speech and expression has become an enormous problem, in so much that not even the Feds can put the genie back into the bottle, where it pertains to the responsible management of all content.

And artificial intelligence has added fuel to the fire, in that deep fake representations call into question such issues as copyright infringement, consent from unwilling persons, and the manipulation of pictures, facts, and information, on an increasingly alarming scale. In fact, there is a particularly troubling trend taking the young and restless by storm, as it pertains to A.I. in the world of online relationships.

It is making its way in darkness now but its debilitating and adverse results will soon begin to bubble up to the surface. Thus, in order to avoid throwing out the baby with the bath water, good, and evil are allowed to thrive side by side, for there are no significant standards set forth by the authorities to determine what will be acceptable and what will be proscribed, for it has become a high wire dance between our freedoms, and moral responsibility.

2nd Corinthians 5:10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.

May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
