There is an immutable law of nature and Nature’s God, known as “cause and effect.” Everything we do — or don’t do — has an effect. An effect on ourselves, on those close to us, our community at large and even the nation. For every effect we see, there is a cause. Sometimes the cause is easy to see and sometimes it takes more effort to find it.
You might also call it the “root and the fruit.” The fruit that is borne in this world only blossoms because there is a root. Whether the fruit we’re dealing with is good or bad, there is always a good, strong root that started it all.

The world has abandoned God and His Word like no other time in history since, perhaps, the days of Noah and Lot. And that’s the cause of the effects we’re seeing today. That’s the root of the rotten, bitter fruit our world is bearing today. When a people and a nation reject God Almighty, the effect is that they lose their moral compass. Without a moral compass, we wander in confusion, insanity and delusion. Without God’s moral compass to guide us, we just do what we want — regardless of the consequences, regardless of the effects.
And so today, by “following our own hearts,” we have come to the point that Paul spoke of to Timothy. Perilous times have come. 2 Timothy 3:2-7, “For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. They are the kind who worm their way into homes and gain control over gullible women, who are loaded down with sins and are swayed by all kinds of evil desires, always learning but never able to come to a knowledge of the truth.”
The Bible speaks of this in Isaiah 5:21, “Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes and clever in their own sight.” Prior to this statement, Isaiah writes, “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.” It is a picture of a world devoid of morality, a world turned upside down, where confusion reigns and the concept of right and wrong is abstract and irrelevant. It’s a picture of our world, in this generation. No moral absolutes. Everything is relative to each individual, with no moral compass.
The questions that have thrown our culture into turmoil today seem so basic and so simple, it’s hard to believe we’re even debating them. Questions like: “what’s the definition of marriage and family?” “Are children a blessing or a punishment?” “Should people work to provide for themselves and their families, or should the workers be viewed as greedy, and their wages confiscated to provide for the non-workers?” “Should we honor the God of our forefathers or the hedonistic, demented god of this world?” “Should children be exposed to blatant pornography in the name of ‘diversity’ and ‘inclusion?” And perhaps the most difficult of all questions for today’s Leftists to answer: “What is a woman?”
The answers you give to these questions will come from your worldview. Your worldview is your foundation of ideas, attitudes and beliefs, based on your life’s experience. Our personal worldviews are formed by our schooling and education, the influence of parents, friends and family, our religious backgrounds and multi-media indoctrination. I dare say that each of these things have changed in recent years, causing a polar shift in the worldviews of many people. What was once good is now considered evil. What was once darkness is now considered light. And what was once bitter, is now considered sweet.
