Calling evil good and good evil

“Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.” Isaiah 5:20
Have you noticed how the mores of society are upside down, compared to the Word of God? According to the world, sex before marriage (and indeed, not even getting married at all) is expected, homosexuality is just another alternative lifestyle, abortion is acceptable, getting drunk is seen as cool, etc. Yet the Bible says all of these are sin. According to the world, evolution is fact and those who believe it are sophisticated and educated, but those who teach creationism are guilty of brainwashing. The world sees Christians as intolerant and backwards, but those who embrace the New Age are seen as open-minded.
Let’s face it: if we hold tight to the Word of God, we are never going to agree with the world on what is right and wrong. Jesus said, “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it” (Matt. 7:13-14). If we believe the Bible, we are going to be in the minority. But that’s ok – the narrow road is the one that leads to life eternal.
