Just the opposite!

I believe it is safe to say that we as a nation are doing just the opposite of the first part of this verse:

Proverbs 14:34  

Righteousness exalts a nation,

But sin is a reproach to any people.

We are living in sad times. As a nation we now exalt sin! Vileness is everywhere! Sexual immorality, filthy talk, personal attacks on people created in God’s image, lies, stealing, murder, idols, and much much more! The movies, tv shows, music, books, magazines, and folks everyday lives exalt sin. How much longer will God put its it?

Sadly people love sin and idols more than God. God told us in His Word that this is the way it would be:

Matthew 7:13-14 

13 “Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. 14 Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.

Let us as followers of Jesus be living righteous lives before our God. Setting the example for others and sharing the gospel and the love God shows us. Let us stand against sin but do it in a way that leads people to Jesus not a way from Him.

Pray folks pray! This nation needs it!
