When Moral Absolutes are Removed

Within just five minutes this morning I saw two great (or terrible depending on perspective), examples of a world living without regard for God's moral absolutes. First I read a story on Alpha and Omega Ministries website about a case in England where a couple who would not affirm homosexuality as an acceptable lifestyle were denied the right to be foster parents. It is assumed this ruling will be used for those who wish to adopt as well.

Link to the original article: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/religion/8353496/Foster-parent-ban-no-place-in-the-law-for-Christianity-High-Court-rules.html

Next, as I was finishing reading that article a TV commercial came on during the morning news I had playing in the background. I can't quote it verbatim, but essentially it said - If you have "bad debt" and you can't pay it off, don't worry about it. Making it go away is like magic with the new bankruptcy laws. "Abra Cadabra" and your debt is gone. But that is not the best (or worst part) if you use their law firm they can make your creditors pay for your bankruptcy!

What is surprising about these things is not that people are doing them, but that the general climate of the world and even our country is silent to there absolute absurdity in regard to God's moral law. In scripture this is seen as the lowest depths of the outward expression of our falleness.

Rom. 1:32 who, knowing the righteous judgements of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them. (NKJV)

Lord have mercy on us!
