Comment: In some public places such as motor parks, markets, etc., it is not uncommon to hear people make utterances that offend the sensibility of right-thinking individuals. This bespeaks how far away from righteousness man has drifted. Acts of immorality, corruption, and other evils are freely communicated like it is something to be proud about. The evils of our age are nothing different from the godlessness that culminated into the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah by the God of Justice.
According to the Bible, Lot was saved because he never entangled himself with their lawlessness but “vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked”. As God Almighty is angry with the wicked everyday, reserving them unto the day of judgment to be punished, (Psalm 7:11; 2 Peter 2:9) The same fate will befall those who, despite their knowledge of God’s righteousness, take delight in the ungodliness of sinners. St. Paul wrote: “Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.” – Romans 1:32.
May God endow us with the strength to resist the enticements of the wicked at all times, for our own good by His grace.
