Good Will be Called Evil and Evil Will be Called Good

 You don't have to look very far around you to see that this prophecy of the Last Days is being fulfilled in front of our eyes.  Gay marriage is called good.  Fornication is called good.  Pornography is called good. Worshipping other gods is called good.  The inerrancy of scripture is called bad.  Saying Jesus is the only way is called bad.  Saying God created two genders, male and female is called bad.  Killing babies in their mother's womb is called good.  Men dressing as women is called good.  And the list goes on.

A new survey has found that the vast majority of Americans believe that the country is on the wrong track morally, but meanwhile the nation continues to move away from organized religion at an unprecedented rate.  Needless to say, America's moral decline has been a focus of mine for a very long time.  

Our society has been steadily decaying for decades, and our culture is now radically different than it was when I was growing up.  I would love to see our culture return to the way that it was 50 or 60 years ago, but I don't think that is ever going to happen.  

Instead, the numbers seem to indicate that our culture is going to continue to deteriorate as older Americans die off and younger Americans gain more power in society.

According to a brand new Deseret News/Marist Poll survey that was just released, 72 percent of Americans believe that "the nation's moral compass is pointed in the wrong direction".

On the surface, that number would seem to be really good news.

Because if most of us can agree that there is a problem, theoretically we should be able to agree that a solution to that problem is necessary.

The survey also discovered that it isn't just highly religious Americans that believe that we are in moral decline.  74 percent of Christians agreed that "the nation's moral compass is pointed in the wrong direction", and 69 percent of non-religious Americans also agreed with that statement.

I found that to be very noteworthy.

And this is how the numbers broke down by political affiliation...

-90 percent of Republicans agreed

-77 percent of Independents agreed

-51 percent of Democrats agreed

It is very rare for any survey to ever find this sort of widespread agreement on any issue.

Surprisingly, the survey also found that more than half of all Americans still believe in the God of the Bible...

For example, 54% of Americans report they believe in God as described in the Bible--this includes 86% of all those who practice a religion and one in three (33%) individuals who report they do not practice a religion.

In the report, Generation Z and the future of faith in America, Daniel A. Cox, senior fellow in polling and public opinion at the American Enterprise Institute, who also serves as director of the Survey Center on American Life, paints a complicated and diminished view of religion in American life.

According to that report, Americans that are in Generation Z are almost four times as likely to be religiously unaffiliated as members of the Silent Generation are...

Generation Z, born in the late 1990s and early 2000s, is now the least religious generation yet, with 34% of them identifying as religiously unaffiliated. Among millennials, 29% identify as religiously unaffiliated, while Generation X stands at 25%. Only 18% of baby boomers and 9% of the silent generation identify as religiously unaffiliated.

Survey after survey has shown the same thing.

Americans are losing their religion, and young adults are leading the way.

We are a completely different nation than we were 50 years ago.  In this sort of an environment, crimes against humanity of the highest order can be revealed and yet hardly anyone gets upset about them.

When I was growing up, what was right and what was wrong was generally very clear.

But these days very few people have a clear sense of what is right and what is wrong.

In fact, much of the time what used to be "wrong" is now called "right", and what used to be "right" is now called "wrong".

We have become an upside down society where those that actually try to stand up for morality and virtue are called the bad guys, and those that are dragging our society into the gutter are called the good guys.

If we continue to stay on this path, there is only one way that things can end.

Unfortunately, those that are determined to fundamentally transform our society seem to have unstoppable momentum at this point, and that is really bad news for all of us.

Here;  Most Americans Believe Nation’s Moral Compass Is Pointing In Wrong Direction (prophecynewswatch.com)

Many have said to me that they believe we are on the verge of a Great Revival in America.  They believer that people are going to embrace Jesus Christ and turn back to God the Father.  I hope they are right but I simply don't see that playing out.

The Bible says that there comes a time in a nation when "God give them over to the desires of their flesh".  Sexual perversion may play a huge part in that.  Do you ever see a day when Americans reject gay marriage and change the laws back to ONE MAN AND ONE WOMAN?  Nope.  Do you ever see the day coming when fathers will love their wives and be married to one woman with a commitment to raise Godly children?  Nope.  Do you see a day coming when Americans will embrace the idea that Jesus is God, born of a virgin, died on a cross and rose again from the dead PROVING that He is the only path for eternal life and the forgiveness of sin?  Nope.

I don't believe we are going back.  There are simply too many Americans that are calling evil good and good evil.  And for this reason judgment seems to be this nation's only future.

Of course the million dollar question is;  How do followers of Christ live in a nation where judgement has started?  I believe the answer is that the light within us (Holy Spirit) will actually shine brighter and be more visible to all of those around us as the darkness grows.  So yes, there certainly good be a big harvest yet to happen in America but I don't believe it will be called a revival.  The joy of the Lord will be our strength.
