William Penn said, "Men must be governed by God or they will be ruled by tyrants."
Isaiah wrote, "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!" - Isaiah 5:20
Every warning issued in God's Word is issued with the intent of drawing men back to God by demanding attention to the attitudes, choices, and behaviors that are leading them away from His holy Presence and care.
William Penn understood this.
Increasingly in America we are seeing our fundamental moral and spiritual values being undermined and belittled by people who are deceived into thinking that man, and mans wisdom, accomplishes mans highest good.
The secularization of our culture is methodical and continuous being spurred on by devious demonic influences upon those unsuspecting individuals who have opted to refuse their accountability to any absolute standard of truth, namely God's Truth.
Michele Wolf's despicable behavior toward Sarah Huckabee Sanders at the White House Correspondents dinner is only one example of the bold irreverence and rejection of godly values reflected by those of her same convictions and delusion.
Psalm 12:8 NIV rightly states, "The wicked freely strut about when what is vile is honored among men."
Daily, we as Christians are having our minds pressured to conform to the values of this age and forget the standards of godly truth we have been liberated into by Christ's atoning sacrifice.
We fear ridicule, rejection, and embarrassment if we take a stand against the prevailing evil of this age and yet if we fail to do so, in one very important sense we are denying the Christ of our salvation.
Paul wrote to Timothy in 2 Timothy 2:12, "If we endure, we will
also reign with Him; If we deny Him, He will also deny us;"

Neglecting to stand boldly for the Truth of God ranks us with those defiled of Titus 1:16, "They profess to know God, but by their deeds they deny Him, being detestable and disobedient and worthless for any good deed."
There will be a price to be paid if we are to have any hope of reversing or stemming this tide in America.
But having said that, I am also assured that the righteous of God will soon stand and say, Enough!

I love you.
