Calling Evil Good

 20Woe 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!
 21Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!
 22Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink:
 23Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him! 

                                                                                                           Isaiah 5 : 20 -23

In the times we now live in , we clearly see this passage of scripture taking place all around us . Everyday we are confronted with people calling evil good and calling good evil. We see this in such topics as "Universalism" which is the belief that every faith leads to Heaven , this is directly against the bible where Jesus teaches :

 
Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

                                                                                                      John 14 : 6


Yet should a Christian tell someone this we are seen as being "bigots" and even "delusional" , when all we are doing is trying to tell people the truth. Then we might hear that we are being "old fashion" and that God has "changed" . The fact is that the bible is quite clear that God does not change : 

  For I am the LORD, I change not                                      
                                                                                             Malachi 3:6a


It is real important that we stick to what the Bible says and that if we dare say we are Christians that we believe what it says . I read some alarming statistics recently , about a high percentage of "Christians" in this country that don't even believe in the Holy Spirit or the Devil , my response would be how can you be a Christian? Or Homosexual ministers the word of God is clear that Homosexuality is a sin(Lev 18:22) ,(1 Cor 6 : 9) , how can a homosexual be a minister???????? This generation is indeed the Laodicean church , not Hot (believer) or Cold (Unbeliever) , but Luke-Warm (I believe God loves me but don't believe in Judgment , Hell , Sin , The Devil , The Trinity , etc , etc, etc, you get the point?)(Rev 3: 15 -16) . The fact is to be a Christian you either believe all of it or you believe none of it.


 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness,

                                                                                         2 Timothy 3 : 16

    Notice how it says ALL Scripture , not some , not part , but ALL.


 "No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money.

                                                                              Matthew 6 : 24


No one can serve two masters and that is not just money two masters could be God and yourself , God and the Devil , God and your Pastor . The Fact is you either serve God or you don't.


 If a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand.                        Mark 3 : 25


It is real important that Christians recognize the deception that is under way everything that God calls good society is trying to paint as evil and everything that God calls evil society is trying to paint as good , it is time to wake up and recognize this , do not be afraid to be called a bigot or a hypocrite or old fashioned, out of touch , or whatever else someone may call you , you can love the sinner but don't ever tell them that there sin is "alright". Don't make them think that you agree with their sinful behavior , remember a sinner can not come to repentance if they don't think they need a Savior. I will also say don't be surprised by what is happening in society this is suppose to happen remember what was written to Timothy :

 But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come. For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good, treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; Avoid such men as these. For among them are those who enter into households and captivate weak women weighed down with sins, led on by various impulses, always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these men also oppose the truth, men of depraved mind, rejected in regard to the faith. But they will not make further progress; for their folly will be obvious to all, just as Jannes’s and Jambres’s folly was also. 

                                                                                                  2 Timothy 3 : 1 - 9
