Calling Good Evil and Evil Good: America's Crisis of Truth.

Introduction: A strange and dangerous shift has taken hold in America. Those exposing corruption are being painted as villains, while the corrupt are celebrated as heroes. It's as if we've stepped into Isaiah 5:20, where God warned that a day would come when people would call evil good and good evil. That day is here.

The Crisis at Hand: For decades, dishonest politicians have used their power not to serve the people but to enrich themselves, deceive the public, and hide their misdeeds. Now, we see honest, courageous leaders standing up, exposing the rot, and demanding accountability. And what happens? The deceived masses, guided by biased media and propaganda, turn on the truth-tellers, accusing them of being the problem. Why? Because darkness hates the light (John 3:19-20).

Biblical Foundation: This is not new. The Bible warns of times when truth will be suppressed (Romans 1:18), justice will be perverted (Ecclesiastes 3:16), and deception will run rampant (2 Timothy 3:13). Proverbs 29:2 states, "When the righteous increase, the people rejoice, but when the wicked rule, the people groan." America is groaning.

A Historical Illustration: Consider the prophet Elijah. He exposed King Ahab's and Queen Jezebel's corruption, yet he was labeled as the 'troubler of Israel' (1 Kings 18:17-18). Similarly, Jesus Himself was falsely accused by religious leaders because He threatened their grip on power (Mark 14:55-59). History repeats itself.

The Modern Application: Why do people believe lies? Because deception is comfortable. If they accept the truth, they must act on it, and many prefer the convenience of corruption over the cost of righteousness. But as believers, we must stand firm (Ephesians 6:13-14). We must be like the Bereans (Acts 17:11), testing everything against the truth rather than mindlessly following the loudest voices.

Call to Action: Christians and non-Christians alike must wake up. Do not let media manipulation, social pressure, or fear silence the truth. Please stand up for what is right, support those who seek justice, and expose lies wherever they exist. The battle for truth is not just political—it's spiritual (Ephesians 6:12). America must return to godly principles to reclaim integrity. If we remain silent, we are complicit (Ezekiel 33:6).

Conclusion: Good and evil are not subjective, and truth is not fluid. We are witnessing an era where deception reigns, but those who stand for truth will ultimately prevail (John 8:32). Will you be deceived, or will you discern? The future of our nation—and our souls—depends on the answer.
