Who Suppress the Truth<br />

“For the wrath of God is revealed from Heaven against all ungodliness<br />

and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness,<br />

because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown<br />

it to them. For since the Creation of the world His invisible attributes are<br />

clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal<br />

power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, because, although<br />

they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but<br />

became futile in their thoughts and their foolish hearts were darkened.<br />

Professing to be wise, they became fools.” Romans 1:18-22<br />

Who Exchange the Truth of God for the Lie<br />

“Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts,<br />

to dishonour their bodies among themselves, who exchanged the truth of God for the lie and worshipped and served<br />

the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. For this reason God gave them up to vile passions.<br />

For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. Likewise also the men, leaving the natural<br />

use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful and receiving in<br />

themselves the penalty of their error which was due. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge,<br />

God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; being filled with all unrighteousness,<br />

sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are<br />

whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, undiscerning,<br />

untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful; who, knowing the righteous Judgment of God, that those who practice<br />

such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.” Romans 1:24-32<br />

What We Sow is What We Shall Reap<br />

“They hatch vipers’ eggs and weave the spider’s <strong>web</strong>; he who eats of their eggs dies and from that which is crushed a<br />

viper breaks out.” Isaiah 59:5. The fruit of secular humanism, atheism and evolutionism is seen in the situation ethics,<br />

interfaith, multi-culturalism, mixed-marriages, New World Order, illegal aliens, Islamic invasions, abortion holocaust,<br />

pornography plague, pagan invasion, break down of every standard of civilisation and debasing and degrading of<br />

everything good, pure and lovely in this world. It is seen in schools that do not educate, courts that do not uphold<br />

justice, doctors who do not heal, medical professionals who kill babies and euthanize the elderly, teachers who do not<br />

increase knowledge, leaders who fail to lead, police who fail to protect, families that fail to nurture, churches that fail<br />

to make disciples, teaching obedience to all things that the Lord has commanded, congregations that are no longer<br />

houses of prayer for all nations, public servants who loot public resources, governments that steal from their citizens,<br />

laws that no longer restrain the lawless, but which punish the law-abiding and God-fearing. “The wages of sin is death!”<br />

A Web of Deceit<br />

“Their <strong>web</strong>s will not become garments, nor will they cover themselves with their works; their works are works of<br />

iniquity and the act of violence is in their hands.” Isaiah 59:6. The intellectual arguments of secular humanists,<br />

atheists and evolutionists are akin to <strong>web</strong>s being used for garments – that do not provide clothing, they fail to cover<br />

themselves. Everything has consequences.<br />

Civil Servants are Meant to be Ministers of Justice<br />

The Bible is very clear, God has instituted civil government as “an agent of wrath to bear punishment on the wrongdoer.”<br />

Romans 13:4. The civil government is called to be a minister of God’s justice, “to punish those who do wrong.” 1 Peter<br />

2:14. The primary duties and responsibilities of civil government are the protection of law-abiding citizens and the<br />

punishment of law-breaking criminals. Psalm 101 reminds us that the duty of God honouring rulers is to destroy<br />

the wicked, to root out evil and to protect the law-abiding. “For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil…. For<br />

he is God’s minister to you for good. But if you do evil, be afraid; for he does not bear the sword in vain; for he is God’s<br />

minister, an avenger to execute wrath on him who practices evil.” Romans 13:3-4. “…Execute judgment in the morning;<br />

and deliver him who is plundered out of the hand of the oppressor, lest My fury go forth like fire and burn so that no one<br />

can quench it, because of the evil of your doings.” Jeremiah 21:12. “When the sentence for a crime is not quickly carried<br />

out, people’s hearts are filled with schemes to do wrong.” Ecclesiastes 8:11. Why do people commit crime so readily?<br />

Because criminals are not punished quickly enough.<br />
