There has been a deliberate scheme to pit us against our God, parading us in the public eye.
"They" are selecting
every action deemed sinful by the word of God and transforming them into laws,
causing us to fear "them" and consequently become adversaries of God.
It's no surprise that Apostle James warns us, "You adulteresses, do you
not know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? Therefore,
whoever chooses to be a friend of the world renders himself an enemy of
God" (James 4:4).
Let us not be misled. The Scriptures state that neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor those who display traditionally feminine characteristics inappropriate for a man (effeminate), nor homosexuals... will inherit the kingdom of God (1 Corinthians 6:9).
Fornication has been trivialized
in our movies, with children and teenagers being taught explicit sexual content
in schools, provided with free condoms, and encouraged to explore. If in a relationship, one or both people choose to abstain, they are mocked.
Idolatry is subtly presented
through shows we innocently adore, where individuals are openly called idols,
desensitizing our minds to the severity of the term. We casually refer to them
as idols until we fail to recognize that we have turned a human being, a
platform, or an object into a god in our hearts.
Media plays a role in portraying
adultery as well. The sympathetic storyline features a mistress depicted as a
victim in need of salvation, oppressed by the neglectful wife (Mrs.) who fails
to care for her husband (Mr.). Although we should support marriages, the
portrayal leads us to believe that the wife is "evil," justifying the
mistress's actions. We end up applauding what the Bible clearly denounces as an
abomination.
Regarding effeminate behaviour,
we witness girls imitating boys and boys emulating girls. Any attempt to
correct this behaviour is criticized, and the concept of personal identity
becomes distorted and overly permissive. We are encouraged to adopt any
identity, ranging from crossing gender norms to overtly mimicking animals like
cats, dogs, or even ants. Choosing one's identity is now deemed acceptable.
Homosexuality is supported and
propagated under the banner of pride, a word that God Himself despises. The
Bible states, "God opposes the proud but shows favour to the humble."
Therefore, let us submit to God, resist the devil, and watch him flee from us
(James 4:6-7). Proverbs also warns us that when pride emerges, disgrace follows
(Proverbs 11:2) and that the Lord detests all forms of pride (Proverbs 16:5).
How can we willingly label ourselves with something that God detests?
In the past, a king erected a statue
and demanded that everyone bow down before it. Three young men who refused were
thrown into a fiery furnace. Today, the rulers of this world have established
numerous figurative statues, coercing us to conform, adapt, accept, or
passively tolerate their ideologies. Failure to comply may result in
unemployment, imprisonment, or exclusion from influential circles. Various
forms of adversity await us. However, by approving, consenting to, or accepting
these things, we place ourselves in enmity with God. Are we truly willing to
befriend this world?
If our answer is no, then we must
consider how much opposition we are prepared to face, overcome, experience, or
be delivered from by the one true King.
Let us diligently prepare ourselves
and children for the impending darkness that lies ahead. We
must remain VIGILANT and rooted in our faith, despite the world's attempts to
sway us. Our allegiance should be to CHRIST, not to the world's ever-changing
values.
