Passage Read: Mark 7-8
Meditation Verse: 8:38
Thought
So Jesus is right in everything He says. All of God's Word is right in everything it teaches. If I am ashamed of anything God has said, any of His words, Jesus will be ashamed of me when He returns. It is either follow God or follow this adulterous and sinful generation. This generation in all its "wisdom" cannot keep me out of God's judgment. Only God can do that. And if I want to be saved, not condemned, then I have to choose to believe and obey the Lord, especially when His words are counter-cultural! This generation and every generation is a horrible discerner of truth, so I would be a fool to trust them over God's Word.
Application
Whether immorality or marriage or child-rearing or anything else, this generation has so many things wrong. They can choose to destroy everything God has made, but I will choose God's Word over anything and everything they say. May God have mercy on the believers and churches who have decided the world is wiser than God. How tragic it will be for them if they don't repent.
