Their Own Undoing
Romans 1:28-29
Since they thought it foolish to acknowledge God, he abandoned them to their foolish thinking and let them do things that should never be done. Their lives became full of every kind of wickedness...
When we look at all that is wrong with the world today, it’s definitely due to increased wickedness disguised as tolerance, selfishness disguised as politics, and greediness disguised as raising awareness.
God made his existence completely obvious by all of creation. And the popular response to all that we see around us is Evolution? That simply defies all logic and common sense that all the intricacies of nature just accidentally occurred. When my husband and his dad built a house together (and then later a church building) that was no accident. There was careful planning involved, and all the walls and all the plumbing went exactly where they intended. Nothing created is created by accident or by random events magically happening over super long periods of time. It defies all logic and common sense to think so. If my husband and his dad left all the building materials out for a bagillion years there would only be dusty and old materials not a building.
But someone who wants to deny God has to just flat out make stuff up no matter how much it defies logic to believe, and they believe it with absolutely no proof at all because they want to deny him so badly. Creation is the proof that God exists. It’s obvious! Romans 1:20 For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God. But someone who does not want to acknowledge God will make stuff up and pass them off as good ideas.
How about homosexual marriage? It defies all logic and common sense that it should be a thing. Purely from a logical view, this kind of relationship leads to extinction. Look at any anatomy book anywhere and it is obvious how people’s parts fit together.
How about global warming? Anybody got an almanac? Weather is unpredictable pure and simple. It always has been. Everybody knows that, but greedy people have turned it into a thing that is not a thing and their plans will lead to destruction for people (no longer endorsing a thriving way of life) in favor of what they think (with no proof) will help an environment that has always been subject to change.
How about abortion? Unborn animals in zoos are given more value than a human life. That doesn’t make any sense. Will we ever reach a point where there are finally enough pandas in the world that we won’t care if they’re aborted with governmental assistance to keep the population lower? Abortion is totally a God-less idea that absolutely leads to destruction and extinction too.
I’m sensing a theme. All the ways man comes up with to live without God are bad ideas. Godlessness leads to destruction and extinction. That’s why God abandoned them to their foolish thinking... they will be their own undoing; their awful ideas will eventually cause them to die out!
Dear God,
I pray for the people that I know and love that love to deny that you exist. Don’t let them enjoy their foolish ideas or have any success while they pursue ungodliness, and please continue to protect us from their awful ideas. I love you so much and am so glad that your ways never lead to destruction and extinction. You are the Way, Truth and LIFE – the absolutely opposite of extinction. Thank you so much, in Jesus name I pray, amen.
