Condoning sin never helped a single sinner find healing. In fact, speaking truth is how we engage in spiritual warfare. It is how we fight the enemy. Standing for the truth isn’t always easy. Backing down from it only strengthens Satan’s grip on those in darkness.

Leading sinners to Christ is our mission, but isn’t standing up for truth also our mission? The truth, found in God’s Word, isn’t popular today. But only truth will set the captive free.

I have little optimism that the world will embrace Christian values as it once did. In fact, things look more and more like the days of Noah. Only revival can change the trajectory we’re on.

“We are living in a time, in an era when there are people who are desperately wicked, and in desperate need of repentance and faith, in desperate need of the Gospel. And we’re being told that the wickedness is, in fact, the Gospel,” … such a worldview is destructive because it not only calls good evil and evil good, but also “alienates people from the only hope that they have.”

Jesus prayed to His Father, saying, “Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth” NIV (John 17:17).

So yes! We can know what is true because the truth is found in God’s Word. We must love the truth more than we love what we want to be true.

To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” John 8:31-32 NIV Read full chapter

You can make a case for almost anything you want to be true. People do it all the time by taking verses out of context. If you are seeking truth, you won’t do that. Ask yourself, What is my motivation? Is it to prove my opinion is right, or to seek the truth?

The Bible is clear about what constitutes sin. We don’t have to wonder about it. God does this to keep us safe from the consequences of sin. Stop and think for a moment about the consequences of sexual perversion, adultery, transgender ideology, and abortion. There is nothing good to be found.

To stand in evil times, we must love truth. We can’t stand against evil if we compromise.

“Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist …”

Condoning sin never helped a single sinner find healing. Speak truth in love.

In His Love, Cindy
