Isa 5:20 \u2014 \u201cWoe 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!\u201d<\/p>\n
Isaiah’s warning is timeless. When moral lines are blurred\u2014when evil is applauded and truth silenced\u2014God pronounces \u201cwoe.\u201d This is not simply sadness; it is divine grief coupled with coming judgment.<\/p>\n
In today\u2019s world, wrong is rebranded as right, and truth is treated as hate. These are dark times\u2014not because light has vanished, but because hearts prefer darkness. To defend God\u2019s standards now is to walk upstream. As we do so, most often, we are misunderstood and even opposed.<\/p>\n
God\u2019s Word is not flexible\u2014it is the eternal standard against shifting moral standards. Defending the truth in dark times is not a matter of preference – it is our sacred duty. When we uphold God’s standards, we do more than resist the tide – we become beacons of His unchanging light in a world losing its way.<\/p>\n
