Sins of Babylon!

Listen to this blog.

I saw another angel come from heaven. This one had great power, and the earth was bright because of his glory.

The angel shouted,
“Fallen! Powerful Babylon
has fallen
and is now the home
of demons.
It is the den
of every filthy spirit
and of all unclean birds,
and every dirty
and hated animal.

Babylon's evil and immoral wine
has made all nations drunk.
Every king on earth
has slept with her,
and every merchant on earth
is rich because of
her evil desires.”

Then I heard another voice
from heaven shout,
“My people, you must escape
from Babylon.
Don't take part in her sins
and share her punishment.

Her sins are piled
as high as heaven.
God has remembered the evil
she has done.

Revelation 18:1-5

The definition of sin is not established by a vote of the majority! Right and wrong are not determined by a poll. Neither do they come from the cultural norm of your nation.

Good and evil are whatever God says they are and no one else! When God tells us that we must not take part in the sins of "Babylon" how can we be obedient to that instruction?

Let your standard of morality come from the Bible and not from the law of your land. Search the scriptures to know the heart and mind of God. His Word must be in your heart if it is going to control your life. Listen to and learn the stories of the Bible. Don't let the law of the land be the standard for your conduct. Let the Holy Spirit lead you according to the Word of God. That means that sometimes you cannot do something that is "perfectly legal" in you country. It also means that sometimes you must do something that is illegal as you are directed by His Spirit.

Spend time in God's Word everyday so that you can discern and not take part in the "Sins of Babylon."
