So many faulty compasses
Has there ever been a time when so much evil is being done in the name of good?
Consider just some of the evidence:
- Children are being confused, sterilized, abused and mutilated by those who believe they are providing the child with necessary care.
- Good parents are losing custody of their confused children because people in power believe the child is better off with adults who will affirm, encourage, and alter the child’s body to match their confusion.
- Children are being exposed to graphic depictions of sex at school and led to provide satisfaction for grown men’s sexual fantasies by school personnel and parents promoting diversity and inclusion.
- Business owners are suffering great losses because those responsible for restraining and punishing crime believe criminals deserve leniency rather than justice.
- Innocent Jews are being targeted and harmed by rabid activists who believe they are righteously advocating for an oppressed people group.
- Sensible academics, corporate executives, authors and parents who simply express facts of reality are silenced, removed from their positions, or otherwise cancelled for spreading “hate.”
- Hard-working citizens are being displaced, endangered, and robbed; their livelihoods and financial stability threatened; and the safety and freedom we all have a right to is at risk because our government administrators want to welcome everyone who comes to our door.
Why are so many in our day misguided and mistaken about what is really good?
I’m sure those in the social sciences have their theories. Here’s mine: When our God-given sense of morality is unmoored from its source, which is God himself, we get nonsensical, harmful, virtue signaling pseudo-morality.
We are a society increasingly influenced by those with a distorted standard of right and wrong because God, who is the standard, is rejected by so many. Their innate moral compass is unreliable because sin and secularism are like disturbances in the earth’s magnetic field that throw off “true north.”
Those of us who have humbled ourselves before a holy God in repentance and faith are given his Spirit who recalibrates our moral compass to point to him . . . the Way, the Truth, the Life, and the Good.
The world needs us, and more of us, if we hope to find our way out of the mess we’re in and direct our lives and our society toward the true north of the truly good.
May God have mercy and wake people up to the faultiness of their inner directional device and how lost they are because of it.
