Keeping Silent

[complete]

Hello there,

Keeping silent about sin, has led to a worldwide acceptance of fornication, which is a sexual relationship outside of marriage. The phrase 'living in sin' is no longer one that you hear. Marriage is looked upon as something that you save up for, in order to have that white dress, bridesmaids, and a celebration with guests: while engaging in a relationship which is marriage in all but name. Children being born out of wedlock is no longer considered to be something shameful, but is celebrated, and they join their parents around the table to celebrate the wedding that should have taken place prior to their existence.

People have 'partners' now, instead of a husband or wife.

Now, it has gone further, and sexual immorality is being condoned between those of the same gender. Marriage is no longer between male and female for the procreation of children, but is the legitimising and condoning of sinful acts. Children will be growing up thinking that this is as it should be.

Silence has led to this! What next?! Is it any wonder that there is little conception of the meaning of sin?

Thank you
In Christ Jesus
Chris

Isaiah 13:6 Wail, for the day of the LORD is near; as destruction from the Almighty it will come!
7 Therefore all hands will be feeble, and every human heart will melt.
8 They will be dismayed: pangs and agony will seize them; they will be in anguish like a woman in labour. They will look aghast at one another; their faces will be aflame.
9 Behold, the day of the LORD comes, cruel, with wrath and fierce anger, to make the land a desolation and to destroy its sinners from it.
10 For the stars of the heavens and their constellations will not give their light; the sun will be dark at its rising, and the moon will not shed its light.
11 I will punish the world for its evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; I will put an end to the pomp of the arrogant, and lay low the pompous pride of the ruthless.
12 I will make people more rare than fine gold, and mankind than the gold of Ophir.
13 Therefore I will make the heavens tremble, and the earth will be shaken out of its place, at the wrath of the LORD of hosts in the day of his fierce anger.

'If thou forbear to deliver them that are drawn unto death,
and those that are ready to be slain;
If thou sayest, Behold, we knew it not;
doth not he that pondereth the heart consider it?
and he that keepeth thy soul, doth not he know it?
and shall not he render to every man according to his works?'
(Pro 24:11-12)

Hello there, @PloughBoy, @Waggles.

I have sinned and come short of the glory of God, as we all have: but I praise God, I had the yardstick of Scripture to measure my thoughts and actions by, and was brought to my knees to seek forgiveness for my sin. Without that yardstick I would have been blind to my sinful condition, and unaware of the danger: but, I have also contributed to the 'silence', squirming inwardly, but smiled outwardly, out of embarrassment, not wishing to offend, alienate, or maybe lose the affection of those who are doing wrong. Yet in doing so I have not acted in love, but in self-preservation, thus also denying the Lord that bought me.

'And they came to Jericho.
And as He with His disciples and a large crowd went out of Jericho,
blind Bartimeus, the son of Timeus, was sitting by the side of the highway, begging.
And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth,
he began to cry out and say, "Jesus, son of David, have mercy on me!"
And many warned him that he should be quiet,
but he cried a great deal more, "Son of David, have mercy on me!"
.. And Jesus stood still
.... and commanded him to be called.
...... And they called the blind man,
....... saying to him, Be of good comfort;
.......... rise up,
............ He is calling you.'
(Mark 10:46-49)

I thank God for His mercy and His grace.
In Christ Jesus

complete, good report. I spent 25 years singing C&W and the Blues while running from YHWH. I have served Him since 1/1/1990. Our God even saves worms when they are performing.
