The presentment of evil had grown upon him, and he twisted around in the saddle, sweeping the desolate vast level with cold, alert, puzzled eyes.”
–Charles A. Seltzer (Drag Harlan)
“Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!”

Are we on the threshold of judgment and destruction? There is a bill in the Senate, already passed by the House, stating that same-sex marriage is legal and binding. Our government is playing with fire (perhaps literally) when it tries to deconstruct God’s institution of marriage to replace it with the agenda of a certain group in society. The government is setting themselves up as God, saying that their way is better than His.
“For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness… Professing to be wise, they became fools… Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their heart, to dishonor their bodies among themselves… For this reason God gave them up to vile passions… And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting.”
–Romans 1:18, 22, 24, 26, 28 (NKJV)
Enlightened individuals, men of intellect and knowledge, but they want to be autonomous and do right in their own eyes despising the word of God and His moral code. These are the people of the “woke” crowd. They have their agenda and they will push, lie, scream, holler, bring havoc and chaos to have their own selfish way. God gave them over to a “debased mind.” The King James uses the term “reprobate.”
Strong defines reprobate as “unapproved that is rejected; by implication worthless (literally or morally). Thayer puts it this way, “that which does not prove itself such as it ought.” Vine says that it is a “mind of which God cannot approve and must be rejected by Him. The same word for “debased” or “reprobate” is used in 2 Timothy 3:8, “…men of corrupt minds…”; these are men whose moral sense is perverted and whose minds are beclouded with their own speculations (Vine).
Dave Roever wrote, “Stand by, America. Judgment is not coming. It has already begun! Sinful, ignorant and perverted mankind who cannot define a woman, who ‘same-sex’ marry yet adopt ideas from pro-creative opposite sex unions, whose verbiage is reduced to four-letter words, whose arrogant lifestyle is defined in alphabetical letters because it’s too shameful to say in actual words, is reminiscent of the flea on a leaf floating down the mighty Mississippi River demanding, ‘Open up the drawbridge; I’m coming through!'”
In these times of political pressure of media, lies and slander, do not forget that the true child of God does not falter. We are not to waver in the truth of our faith; remember, you cannot have divided loyalty. Society is pushing for the acceptance of the “abnormal as normal.” (Roever) This is the time for all true believers to stand firm in the faith, and remember when judgment comes that God is with you. And it will come when the pseudo plans of man are in direct opposition to the word of God.
God will not compromise His standards, and therefore, we cannot either. Notice again that word “reprobate.” It is a mind that cannot be accepted by God in any way, shape, or form. God will not be mocked. Only for so long will He allow iniquity to continue. Be sure you are standing on the Lord’s side when the judgment does come.
