CAN YOU HANDLE THE TRUTH (PART 2)

This week is Part Two of a Five Part series about Embracing Righteousness as a Lifestyle.  In a world where every lifestyle is accepted and embraced except the Christian lifestyle it is fitting that we title this series Can You Handle The Truth.   Remember Jesus said I am the way, the truth and the life.

Romans 1:21-23 NASB  For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened.  (22)  Professing to be wise, they became fools,  (23)  and exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the form of corruptible man and of birds and four-footed animals and crawling creatures.

Last week we closed out the lesson talking about how man wants to put God into their mold.  People today want God to fit in to their lives instead of putting God in His rightful place and living a life that pleases Him.  Today there is cultivation of foolishness.  The world rejects the creator, even with the truth learned about God through creation people don’t worship God.

The world has created crazy theories to explain God away.  They do this in an attempt to improve society.  Today, our teachers cannot teach biblical morality but they can teach safe sex practices.  Today, school nurses cannot pass out bibles but can give out condoms.  People worship the creation without a thought about the creator.  We have people who look to horoscopes and astrology.  We have people worshiping animals, birds and other images.  It is sad, but true.  Today an individual who does something cruel to animals will get more time in jail then if they killed another human being.

These all stand as proof that man has rejected God.  We live in a wonderful world.  We live in a beautiful world and we should take care of it.  We live in a world created by the one true God.  The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.  The God who has a son called Jesus.  The God who is the First part of the Godhead.

God the Father, Jesus the son, and the Holy Spirit.  All one and all the same.
 
It is God who created the earth and it is God who created man.  It is God who put man in charge and made him steward of His creation.
