IMMORAL LIVINGImmoral living has become rampant in the day and age we are living. Biblical principles of living have seemingly become obsolete, old fashioned and outdated as man chooses to ignore the Word of God and walk in accordance to his own desired ways. We live in a world that has carved out its own precepts, enhanced by lustful desires and attitudes that excludes the Word of God. Good moral instructions and examples use to be portrayed through movies, television, and other forms of entertainment (See "Films for Viewing") but now have been discarded because of the lust and appeal of the flesh, and the immorality that has become more appealing. What Will It Take To Awake AmericaWhat will it take to awake America, and other nations, to the truth of God's Word, where God's righteousness will reign again? What will it take to awake America to the reality of not only a God of love, but also of a God who will judge sin and unrighteousness?Immorality is as an infectious disease that continues to spread with no abatement. The believer in Christ is to evaluate every decision on the basis of biblical principles, knowing that obedience brings God's blessing. Immorality brings judgment and the wrath of God unless repentance is sought. Word of God Not Promulgated as It Once WasWe live in a world where the previously unacceptable has now become acceptable. A world where the Unadulterated (or pure) Word of God is not promulgated as it once was.A legendary evangelist of the first Great Awakening, Charles G. Finney wrote: If immorality prevails in the land, the fault is ours to a great degree. If there is a decay of conscience, the pulpit is responsible for it. If the church is degenerate and worldly, the pulpit is responsible for it. Let us not ignore this fact; but let us lay it to heart, and awake to our responsibility in respect to the morals of this nation. A Revival of ChangeWe are seeing immorality flourish in America today. All one has to do is to tune into various electronic devices, or see daily living habits, and one will see this destructive nature in its fullness. It will take a revival of change to enhance walking in accordance with God's Word. |
