Seriously, slow down and think about this.
💥Light exposes that which is in the dark. When Christ shines His light through His people - those in the dark will resist, flee, be angered and be offended.
John 3:19-20
And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness (♥) rather than the light because their works were evil. For eveyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works should be exposed.
Being of the light exposing darkness in love is an important part of how we image our Creator and how we imitate our Savior. Our culture, the fallen world in which we dwell, campaigns to instill fear by selling this false notion of "to tolerate is to love"...which the opposite is actually true. To leave someone in deception in their sin is the most UNloving thing we could do. 💥To not tell people the truth for FEAR they will probably not like you as much is self-centered pride, not love! Love rejoices with truth! Love desires that the captives be set free!
Here are a few of our cultures greivous, heinous SINFUL ways that are not only tolerated, but celebrated and fought for.
♥Autonomy/Indepence...from God
♥Ingratitude
♥Abortion
♥Women using their bodies as weapons to gain control of mens eyes, therefore gaining control of their minds.
♥Men using women for their perverted darkened lustful thoughts.
♥Re-defining what it actually means to be truly human.
♥Re-defining manhood.
♥Re-defining womanhood.
♥Re-defining parenthood.
♥Re-defining education.
♥Sex outside of marriage
♥Living together before marriage
♥Re-defining marriage as anything other than a covenantal union between one man and one woman.
♥Re-defining what a living human being is simply because they are in the beginning stages of life.
♥The Feminism Movement, to include "evangelical feminism."
♥The pursuit of happiness, not holiness.
♥Idolatry of all kinds
♥Materialism
♥The love of money
♥Not seeking the kingdom of God and His righteousness FIRST.
♥Believing our ways are better than God's ways.
♥Not knowing what it truly means to be:
a human
a man
a woman
♥Creating our own identities apart from God.
♥Not seeking truth.
♥Not living out our purpose as image bearers of God...to be fruitful and multiply.
♥The spiraling breakdown of the family.
♥Not looking to God to define what is good and not good (evil). Biblically known as doing what is right in our own eyes.
♥Telling people that God loves them just as they are...See Psalm 5:5-6 for just one example. If God loved us as we were, why Jesus & the cross?
♥The false notion that everyone is God's child.
♥Women in pulpits.
♥Men and women in pulpits "preaching" their word, NOT God's word.
♥A pastor from the pulpit declaring someone "saved" just because they raised their hand. A dangerous deception.
♥Knowing what we should do and not doing it.
♥And there are so many more....but these are just a few SINS that many in the American culture are proud of.
Just know,
There are six things that the Lord hates, seven that are an abomination to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil, a false witness who breathes out lies, and one who sows discord among brothers.
Proverbs 6:16-19 ESV
Don't run from the light, run to Him! It is only Jesus who has the words of eternal life! See John 6:68! May you no longer be held captive by the devil doing his evil wicked works!
May He set you free! 🕊
