WHO SAYS IT IS IMMORAL
Over the past two years we have been hearing and reading what some consider to be moral or immoral. President Trump wants to built a wall across our southern border to keep our nation safe from drugs, crime, and illegal entrance into the country by many people from other countries. The Democrats are fighting to limit the wall or to do away with it altogether. The reason they are so against this barrier is they consider it to be "immoral." They contend that it is absolutely wrong to keep people from coming to this nation and from having a better life, regardless of who they might be. We know this is not the real reason they are against border security, but they are sticking to it in this political fight.
When I hear them talking about how immoral a border wall is I cringe at the ignorance they are displaying. As Isaiah warned his people, so must we clearly proclaim, "Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter" (Isa. 5:20).
Wrong is wrong not because someone decides it is wrong, but because God says it is wrong. God has set the standard or morality and it is given to us in His divine word. The Psalmist said, "For the word of the Lord is right" (Ps. 33:4). No man has the right, or the power, to change what God has already declared to be right or wrong. The Apostles had the keys to the Kingdom, but they could only speak what was already set in stone (Matt. 16:19). Paul said that he, or even an angel from heaven did not have the right to change or teach what they had received from the Holy Spirit (Gal. 1:8-9). Regardless of who they might be, Presidents, Democrats, Republicans, Preachers, or even the Pope, no one has the right or power to set laws of morality than what is already found in the Bible.
Border security is not immoral if the laws of the land are in light with Biblical truth (Rom. 13:1-4) (Acts 5:29). We are to love all people and help them in anyway we can, but we must take care of our own first of all (1 Tim. 5:8).
If people are so worried about the immoralities of this nation, lets consider some of the things that are causing the foundation of our country to crumble.
It is immoral to murder human beings (Gal. 5:21). May we stand against the laws that are giving women the right to murder their children simply because they can.
It is immoral to engage in same-sex relationships (Gal. 5:19) (Rom. 1:26-27). Homosexuality is not normal or just an alternative lifestyle. According to God it is a sin that must be repented of. Any sexual activity outside of marriage is sinful and must be stopped if one wishes to go to Heaven.
Drug abuse of any sort is immoral (Gal. 5:20-21).Multitudes are dying because of alcohol and drug addiction.
Much more could be said, but this is enough to get the picture, Let us follow the Word of God as the standard of morality and one day hear the Lord say, "Well Done,"
