Drag Sin Along

Ah, you who drag iniquity along with cords of falsehood, who drag sin along as with cart ropes, who say, “Let him make haste, let him speed his work that we may see it; let the plan of the Holy One of Israel hasten to fulfillment, that we may know it!” Ah, you 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! Ah, you who are wise in your own eyes, and shrewd in your own sight! Ah, you who are heroes in drinking wine and valiant at mixing drink, who acquit the guilty for a bribe, and deprive the innocent of their rights!

Isaiah 5:18-23

During the ministry of the prophet Isaiah, a reversal of moral values took place in Israel, a reversal of moral values took place in Israel. Some actually lifted up the evils of murder, idolatry, and adultery as good. In response Isaiah gave a stern warning to them.

In our relativistic world, popular culture constantly challenges biblical values. By studying, memorizing, and meditating on God’s Word we can ensure our discernment between good and evil.

If we know the truth, we can discern what’s false.
