“Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves.” Romans 1:24

“You Asked for it” was a TV series from 1950-1959. The TV audience would send in their request for things such as a woman who would walk on a wire blind-folded six stories high on a bicycle. Modern Americans are asking God to leave them alone so they can do whatever they want to. In return God has given us over to the consequences of our rebellion against Him. Read on in Romans 1:25-32 and you will see the dreadful result. In the words of a Bible scholar of a past generation, A.T. Robertson: “These words sound to us like the clods on the coffin as God leaves men to work their own wicked will.” The truth is, it is more like the dropping of a glass vase onto a hardwood floor. A shattered moral vase is what we get. This is actually the story of the human race from Adam’s disobedience onward. Do you wonder what is happening in our nation today? It is another phase in the judgment of God in bringing retribution upon the sin of idolatry. How then should we live as Christians in the midst of such a catastrophe? Much can be said but for now it is cherishing the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ in every way possible. Ask God for the wisdom and courage to live while walking through the broken glass of our times.

“We have lost the sense of God in the nation, in the churches, in our lives. The biggest business of the hour is to draw nigh to God that He may draw nigh to us.” Vance Havner
