Quote of the Week for 10/1/25

“Every time that good is called evil and evil called good, truth is a casualty. And as we draw closer to Christ’s return, the downward spiral will accelerate.”

Steve Miller, FORESHADOWS, 12 Megaclues That Jesus’ Return Is Nearer Than Ever

“Woe to those who call evil good
    and good evil,
who put darkness for light
    and light for darkness” Isaiah 5:20

Steve Miller’s book, Foreshadows, is excellent and I highly recommend it.

Understanding the Biblical View on Good and Evil

1-minute devotion for Tuesday, 8/5/25

“Woe to those who call evil good
    and good evil,
who put darkness for light
    and light for darkness,
who put bitter for sweet
    and sweet for bitter.” Isaiah 5:20 NIV

My Thoughts: Don’t be surprised that the world rejects what the Bible calls sin. Now, more than ever, what the Bible calls sin is called good by the world. (Abortion is just one example.) It was also this way during the days of Noah. Hmmmm

Love Does Not Affirm a Dangerous Path

We must not affirm sinful behavior because it has become acceptable in our culture. If you aren’t sure about which behaviors are evil and/or dangerous, the truth can be found in the Bible. God’s Word is Truth and the final authority. The Word says,

“Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.” 1 Corinthians 13:6 NIV

Going along with anything and everything is not love. Sin brings pain and heartache. It always does. That’s why God warns us against it.

“This is the way sin works: it comes covered in an attractive veneer that hides its evil and hideous consequences.” Pastor David Jeremiah

Standing for truth is not being legalistic, as some accuse. Speaking the truth protects the innocent. Truth is the antidote for deception and deception is the enemy of mankind.

Standing for truth isn’t hard to do when evil is something society detests. But what about when sinful behavior is something our culture affirms? What sin does our society affirm? All you have to do is watch TV to find out. TV is filled with stories that seek to normalize sinful behaviors.

I never thought I’d see the day when women would celebrate because they had won the right to murder their unborn baby. But many women in America demand abortion rights during all months of pregnancy, and they call it healthcare. It’s not healthcare we’re talking about. It’s killing your baby for convenience. If we’re going to have this discussion, we should at least be honest about it.

There’s a reason abortion advocates call it healthcare. It’s more palatable to call it healthcare or women’s rights than to call it what it is.

Abortion is just one evil that our culture affirms. There are many others. My question for you is: Will you love? Or will you affirm evil? Affirming evil is not love. It takes courage to stand up for what is right.

“Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.” 1 Corinthians 13:6 NIV

At one time, I didn’t understand this verse. Why would anyone delight in evil? Now I understand.

What other sinful behaviors does our culture affirm that are, in reality, dangerous paths? Will you stand up for truth to protect the innocent and/or the misinformed? It won’t be easy, but it will be loving.

Quote of the Week, 11/22/23

“We are up against the unseen power that controls this dark world and the spiritual agents are from the very headquarters of evil. Therefore, we must wear the “whole armour of God,” that we may be able to resist evil in its day of power, and that even when we have fought to a standstill, we may still stand our ground.”

Verse for Meditation, 9/21/23

 “Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.” 1 Corinthians 13:6 NIV Read full chapter

My Thoughts: To affirm transgenderism or homosexual behavior is not love. Sin brings pain and heartache. It always does. That’s why God warns us against it. Pastor David Jeremiah says, “This is the way sin works: it comes covered in an attractive veneer that hides its evil and hideous consequences.” (See Romans, Chapter 1.)
