Today's Reading: Isaiah 5
In
this verse, the prophet Isaiah delivers a warning about the dangers of moral
relativism and moral confusion. He speaks of a society much like ours today
that has lost its way, calling evil "good" and good "evil."
It's like navigating through an upside-down world where right and wrong are
flipped, leaving people disoriented and lost in a moral maze.
The
relevance of Isaiah's warning couldn't be more apparent in our times. We live
in an age of constant information bombardment, where opinions are plentiful,
and truth is often obscured. The moral compass seems to be spinning wildly, and
it's easy to be swayed by popular beliefs, regardless of their ethical
standing.
One
example of this is by calling abortion a matter of “personal choice” and
framing it as a “reproductive right”, society diminishes the value of human
life, disregarding the unborn child's inherent dignity and worth. Such
relativistic thinking allows for subjective and situational ethics, making it
difficult to draw clear lines on when life should be protected.
Let
us not be deceived by the trends of the world or the clever arguments of those
who twist the truth. Instead, let's anchor ourselves in God's Word, where true
morality is found. Embrace the wisdom taught by godly teachers and mentors, for
they can help us navigate this topsy-turvy world.
In
this world with values constantly flipping like a fish out of water, hold on to
the eternal truths of God's Word. Only God's truth reflects reality. So, let's
navigate this crazy world with God's wisdom as our compass and yardstick of
truth.
In
addressing cancel culture and other instances of moral relativism, let us
approach these issues with discernment, grace, and a commitment to upholding
God's truth. We can be a positive influence in a world that often struggles to
find consistent moral footing, demonstrating the love and wisdom of Christ in
our actions and attitudes.
