Let It Be?
- Now Think On
This

“For they exchanged the
truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the
Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.” Romans 1:24 NAS
When enough is enough,
one has to start pushing back, or even you yourself will start believing that
what is being said is the truth. If any agenda is pushed far enough, what you
once thought and believed to be right will soon become wrong, and what was
wrong will then become what is “right.”
Wrong.
By adding little lies upon
another little lie, in time you yourself may start agreeing with the ones who
have spoken the longest, and the loudest. Step by step, what was once wrong has
now become the new norm, and what was, and still is, truth is said to not really have been the
truth after all.
There are agendas being
pushed forward in our society which makes it look like “their way is
THE way”. What we began hearing back years
ago, if even so softly then, has now decades later been brought to the
forefront. The local and national media, proponents of a certain lifestyle,
have said it long enough, and pushed far enough, where today even those we would
have looked to, to be proponents of truth, whether in the church, education,
politics or sports, no longer should be counted on for speaking the truth. For
they themselves have succeeded in telling us that “this is OK, this is the
norm, this is the way it is, so let it be. Just let it be.” They even celebrate
and rejoice that “freedom” has now come.
I am not going to “let
it be.”
If we stand by and just let
it be, that which we know as truth, what we still believe as truth in the Lord’s
Word, which is Truth - it will be completely thrown out, trampled down, and
ridiculed to the point where those who stand for the Truth will find themselves
standing alone. The evil agenda of the demonic forces will have succeeded in
deceiving the mass population from the truth. In many cases they already have.
Watching the current broadcast
news, listening to the voices in the secular workplace, hearing of that being
pushed in the school system, if ever so subtle, has taken us down the road far
enough to have given us what was written about in the Bible.
“For even though they
knew God, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile
in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing to be
wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for
an image in the form of corruptible man and of birds and four-footed animals
and crawling creatures.
Therefore God gave them
over in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, so that their bodies would be
dishonored among them. For they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and
worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed
forever. Amen.
For this reason God gave
them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function
for that which is unnatural, and in the same way also the men abandoned the
natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another,
men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the
due penalty of their error.
And just as they did not
see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind,
to do those things which are not proper, being filled with all unrighteousness,
wickedness, greed, evil; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malice; they
are gossips, slanderers, haters of God,
insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, without
understanding, untrustworthy, unloving, unmerciful; and although they know the
ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, they
not only do the same, but also give hearty approval to those who practice them.”
Romans 1:21-32 NASU
Truth cannot be written
off because people say it no longer is, or have even denied that there was any
to begin with. What the Lord God Almighty has written, our Creator, cannot and
will not be denied, no matter who say it has, or who has pushed it out of the
way. The Lord will have His final say in all this.
“Then that lawless one
will be revealed whom the Lord will slay with the breath of His mouth and bring
to an end by the appearance of His coming; that is, the one whose coming is in
accord with the activity of Satan, with all power and signs and false wonders, and
with all the deception of wickedness for those who perish, because they did not
receive the love of the truth so as to be saved.
For this reason God will send
upon them a deluding influence so that they will believe what is false, in order
that they all may be judged who did not believe the truth, but took pleasure in
wickedness.” 2 Thess. 2:8-12 NASU
We must
stand for the truth. We must not sit back and let our generation, nor our
children’s generation, accept that “whatever will be will be”, and that it is
OK for each to do as they feel is OK in their eyes.
There is
a godly standard. There is a strong foundation of truth to stand on, that will
not be changed. There is a time when we must say the “Let it be” words are not
what it is to be.
Now is
that time.
