Truth is relative they say, man continually finds a way to blaspheme God and ‘prove’ that he is fine just by himself! All the cunning maneuverings is to create an atmosphere of   ‘live by your own principles and you’ll be happy’. So long as you are happy nothing else matters!

Lie of the devil! Always twisting the truth of God’s word to distort God’s truth and confuse man to achieve his grand plan of total destruction. The Lord enjoins His creation to put JESUS FIRST, YOURSELF LAST AND OTHERS IN BETWEEN, this is true JOY.

When Sodom and Gomorrah was about to be destroyed by God, Abraham tried to plead on their behalf, likewise Nineveh; Job was sent to give the warning to a very wicked people who had no obvious remorse and were greatly feared by all. In Noah’s time, he was God’s messenger to a corrupt and morally depraved lot, he shouted and pleaded daily about the doom to come if they did not turn from their evil ways, alas! Only Nineveh heeded the warning among these three examples.

A godly leader is very important to a nation(Proverbs 29:2); the King of Nineveh put on ash cloth first and made his people do same with fasting and a contrite heart, rendering cries unto their creator for mercy and forgiveness. Of course, the story is, they were saved!
The same cannot be said of Sodom and Gomorrah or the world in the time of Noah;sin was celebrated and glorified just like it is in our day – man seeking boldly and blatantly after various OPTIONS to the almighty

Man seems to have given up his authority to the enemy even as he did in the time of Adam without a fight, masses perish today because they choose evil over good and ignorance over God’s wisdom.

Many men have no confidence in their MALENESS and do not even know the first thing about their ORIGINAL role, many women feel no qualms about usurping the role that was not naturally handed to them because they feel justified in doing so and children attempt things that do not correspond to their age and maturity because they have been forced way beyond their years to SEE their own ‘NAKEDNESS’ (so to speak)

Now-a-days many strange but deeply disgusting things are happening and being condoned, ‘humans’ have indeed started manifesting the reprobate mind that God pre-warned us of …

²¹ Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

²² Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

²³ And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.

²⁴ Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:

²⁵ Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

²⁶ For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

²⁷ And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

²⁸ And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

²⁹ Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,

³⁰ Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

³¹ Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:

³² Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.-Romans 1 (KJV)
MAN, TURN BACK TO YOUR MAKER ...
