This passage from Romans resonates so much to what we see and hear these days from society. What in the world are we doing?

We see the truth about God all around us. Our own existence, the beauty of nature, the awe of the world and beyond…all in perfect order yet we seem to want to fight that order. It’s like there is a joy for sin until the results comes back to us and then we want to blame God.

Romans 1:28-32 NLT

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, sin, greed, hate, envy, murder, quarreling, deception, malicious behavior, and gossip.

They are backstabbers, haters of God, insolent, proud, and boastful. They invent new ways of sinning, and they disobey their parents.

They refuse to understand, break their promises, are heartless, and have no mercy.

They know God’s justice requires that those who do these things deserve to die, yet they do them anyway. Worse yet, they encourage others to do them, too.
