Question to ask ourselves, What does our culture condone today that God condemns? 525 - 4 - 4

Isaiah 5:20, “Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!”
Starting with the trifecta of homosexuality, abortion and throwing Israel under the bus:
Genesis 2:24, “Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.” Someone coined the appropriate expression, “Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve.”
Last year the White House was illuminated in rainbow colors, co-opting God’s rainbow, in celebration of the Supreme Court ruling that legalized same-sex marriage. Fortunately, the gay rainbow only contains six colors rather than the seven in God’s rainbow. Six is the number of man and a bolt of lightning didn’t strike the White House.
Although we serve an awesome God who is jealous of his creation, many are denying God as Creator. Paul tells us in Romans 1:20, “For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:” A few verses later Paul shares the consequences/ judgment for a society that worships the created and not the Creator, homosexuality. It certainly seems that God’s judgment is being realized given our administration promoting the LGBT agenda of the acceptance of depraved lifestyles as normal.
Abortion has evolved from the first trimester to viable babies. Abortion early in pregnancy is wrong, however, aborting viable babies is murder. God hates “…hands that shed innocent blood,” Proverbs 6:17.
Last year, Planned Parenthood was caught on video selling aborted baby parts. In our upside-down world of good being called evil, threats were made against the producers of the videos rather than Planned Parenthood.

As for Israel, few seem to understand the truth of Genesis 12:3, “And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.” Obama is continuing the unwise effort of bullying Israel to divide the land given to them by God. Joel 3:2, “I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land.” Here plead is not a passive word, rather Strong’s H8199 which includes “by implication to vindicate or punish condemn, contend, defend, execute judgment.”  
In addition to the above trifecta I would paraphrase Judges 17:6, “In those days there was no king in Israel, but every man did that which was right in his own eyes.” Now that God, our King, has been kicked out of our culture, anything goes.
The world seems to be growing darker every day, however, I stand strong in the assurance that God is in control.
