The result of impurity to our conscience

By: American Decency Staff

We are living in a culture now where we are inundated by indecency, pornography and obscenity in advertisements, billboards, television, computer, emails, etc..

It can and assuredly is doing far more damage than we can even begin to fathom.

Sadly, as we opened up the flood gates so long ago by allowing increasing levels of trash over the airwaves, vast numbers of Americans now not only tolerate but have found acceptable that which is detestable in the sight of a Holy, Righteous God. 

I’m not telling you anything that many of you don’t already know. However, take this as an important reminder!   You are not screwy, insane or antiquated as you oppose homosexuality, lesbianism, transgenderism, same sex marriage, sodomy because God’s Word says that the above is detestable in His sight.

Nevertheless, in the months ahead, we may find the U.S. Supreme Court ruling that same-sex marriage is permitted in America plummeting  our nation even further downward toward the judgment of the Creator God as a handful of unelected men and women determine that the politically correct crowd says its so. 

If that occurs, their decision  won’t make it right as the natural law which they swore to uphold in the Constitution will not have  changed.  Natural law IS God’s law and God’s law does not change as God does NOT change.

========================================================

Here are a couple of Biblical principles worth heeding regarding impurity to our conscience.

(1)  God’s will is that we increase the scope of our moral consciousness so that we are aware when we offend God and others.

My comment:  That’s why it is important to be people that are in God’s Word and under robust preaching of the word of God, meditating upon His word and in prayer – that we will increase the scope of our moral conscience not let it shrink with the changing thoughts of godless men and women.

(2)  But solid food is for the mature, for those who have their powers of discernment trained by constant practice to distinguish good from evil.  Hebrews 5:14

My comment: Solid food means not being babies that can only handle milk.  Some are at such baby levels in terms of being able to discern good from evil because their “food” is feeding from a steady dose of mindless, degrading entertainment choices, ie. “All American Dad”, “Family Guy” “The New Normal” and the like.

Our moral consciousness decreased by impurity

(1)  When we allow moral impurity to exist in our lives, it soon becomes justified by our mind and conscience.  At this point, it doesn’t bother our conscience.

(2)  The tragedy to our relationships with both God and others is that in decreasing our moral consciousness in one area, we become unaware of how we are offending in many other areas—both by the things we do and especially by those things we fail to do and say.

Give thought to this over the weekend.  Your God (whether you even acknowledge Him or not) has much more in mind for all of us than parking ourselves in front of silly nothingness that feeds our FLESH while diminishing, degrading, and ultimately destroying our souls.

Stay in touch – including those who I angered by this short email.  I don’t mean to irritate but there is so much at stake in the war for our very own sanity, consciences, relationships, family and spirituality.

The following verse is one that I believe we all would do well to consider, memorize and meditate upon.

Ezekiel 22:26: 
Her priests have done violence to my law and have profaned my holy things. They have made no distinction between the holy and the common, neither have they taught the difference between the unclean and the clean, and they have disregarded my Sabbaths, so that I am profaned among them.
