Our schools, media outlets, and a variety of other voices around us encourage a distorted view of reality. The noise is persistent, and it's loud. All the while, the timeless Word of the Lord calls to us: "Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind," and we are each taught "not to think more highly of himself than he ought to think; but to think so as to have sound judgment, as God has allotted to each a measure of faith" (Romans 12:2-3). We are called to think clearly, to see things as they are, as God sees them. I am very comfortable trusting that the Almighty God, who created everything and the laws by which creation is governed, understands reality better than any of us.
The world walks in darkness. We can see that darkness in our culture's current crisis concerning rampant sexual misconduct. If we look closely at the allegations that have been made (many of which have been substantiated), we can see that the vast majority of them come from hotbeds of "progressive" anti-God philosophy (primarily Hollywood, the world of news media, and college campuses). These people have rejected the truth and have worked hard to proliferate the notion that we are animals driven by primal instinct, and that to gratify those instincts is good. They have reduced sex to a physical transaction, without the Biblically prescribed safeguard of marriage, wherein sex is borne out of love, mutual commitment, and an intimate knowledge of each other that preceded the physical. That intimate knowledge does not come from one date, and if we think it does, then misunderstandings aren't just possible; they're bound to happen. We have produced a generation that does not even acknowledge the simple truth that sexual assault is immoral. Hollywood has insisted for decades that our bodies are objects, and now they act self-righteous and outraged that people are treating themselves and others as though our bodies were only objects.
Things done in darkness will be brought to light. Either we will bring them to the Lord, confessing our sin, or He will bring them into judgment. Remember what you who have put your hope in the Lord have been called to. "For you are all sons of light and sons of day. We are not of night nor of darkness; so then let us not sleep as others do, but let us be alert and sober. For those who sleep do their sleeping at night, and those who get drunk get drunk at night. But since we are of the day, let us be sober, having put on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet, the hope of salvation" (1 Thessalonians 5:5-8).
