Calling Good Evil And Evil Good
October 24, 2016
Former Congressman and Vice-Presidential candidate Jack Kemp said, “When grade schoolers are encouraged to learn and read about condoms but forbidden to see the Ten Commandments on a classroom wall, something is mighty wrong with education in America. This is a double standard that undermines all standards.”
Our children need to learn less about the mechanics of sex and more about the meaning of character. When children grow up in homes without a father’s discipline and love and without a mother’s nurture and comfort, we consign a young generation to problems they have not created and do not deserve.
An America without a foundation of stable families is an America built on shifting sand. When we accept the denigration of religious freedom, we compromise the means of our deliverance.
Today, where two or three are gathered in His name, there also, it seems, is the ACLU in their midst. No wonder the prophet Isaiah said in Isaiah 5:20, “Woe unto 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!”

Front Porch Moments by Gayle Foster
WITH KEY INSIGHTS FROM HER FATHER, ADRIAN ROGERS
I try to unplug each morning with Jesus with just my rocking chair, my Bible, and a pen.
Having a secret place is very important because I know that Jesus is always there waiting for me. I know where I can find Him! His presence is everywhere, but there are places where it is so thick you can cut it with a knife. You may not even have a front porch, but there is a secret place for you as well. God’s invitations are for anyone who will respond. There is no more important request than the one found in Psalm 27:8: “My heart has heard You say, ‘Come and talk with Me.’ And my heart responds, ‘Lord, I am coming.’”
