The New Normal

The "New Normal", what a cute little name for "we've rejected God." By the way, it is not that new. Right out of the gate in Genesis 3:1, the serpent compelled the woman to question God: "God didn't really say...?" It was this questioning of God that led to the Fall of Man which hasn't worked out so well if you follow the pages of history. It is not really a new normal, rather it is a "new morality." It is the glossing over of evil. It is painting a pretty picture of evil. Isaiah the prophet writes: "Woe to them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!"-Isa.5:20. Replacing God's way and design is the sign that man has fallen off the deep end morally into corruption. He has replaced good with evil and vice-versa. Satan's words in the Garden to Eve could have easily been translated, "Eve, you and Adam aren't very progressive. God didn't really say you couldn't do this or that. Did He? That would be silly of God. Times are changing Eve, you're evolving." The "new normal" or "new morality" is based on what feels good or seems right in one's own eyes. "Woe to them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!" We live in a time when it is unpopular to heed God's Word, but frankly it has been that way since the Fall. Eve became intolerant of God's Word about eating of the one tree. She soon became aware of her sin, and the damage was done. Fortunately, God has a plan for those that want to come back. Suggestion: seek the LORD while He may be found. Seek Him in His Word. Turn from darkness back to the light. By the way, this new normal is causing erosion and tragic moral decay, not evolution.
