How can a culture move so far from reality? A fascinating verse in the book of judges is found in chapter 21 verse 25  “In those days Israel had no king; all the people did whatever seemed right in their own eyes. Did you catch that?—All the people did whatever seemed right in their own eyes. God’s moral law is the anchor that holds a society together. When God’s law and truth are thrown to the wind we have exactly what Judges 21:25 lays out. We have a society that does whatever seems right to them. The Apostle Paul also gives us a keen insight into a  society that turns away from God—-He says in Roman 1:21 …they become vain in their imaginations and their foolish hearts became darkened. 

We are now living in a time where truth can’t be known. We are living in a time where truth is relative. We are living in a time where there is no absolute truth, thus, 2+2 can = 10. As long as someone “feels” that 10 is the answer for them, then, 10 is the answer. The call for the Christian and the Church of Jesus Christ is to bring out the sword of truth to cut through all the errors and deception of our day. My challenge for the Christian today is dare to be a Daniel. Dare to take a stand. This is not our best life now for sure. In today’s culture standing on God’s truth will certainly cost you something. It could be friends, a job or your reputation. Take some advice from a long standing pastor, Dr John MacArthur “ Love and truth must be maintained in perfect balance. Truth is never to be abandoned in the name of love. But love is not to be deposed in the name of truth... Truth without love has no decency; it's just brutality. On the other hand, love without truth has no character; it's just hypocrisy.“

There is no end in sight how far this insanity will go. The slippery slope argument makes a lot of sense when we see how far our culture has removed itself  from our Judea/Christian heritage. I think of the book of Genesis where it says, God looked down and saw every imagination of man’s heart was continually evil, see Genesis 6:5. 

I’m thankful that this world is not our home. The writer of the book of Hebrews sums it up so perfectly when he says in Hebrews 11:16 “ Instead, they were longing for a better country—a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them.”
