Numbers 32:15 - "For if you turn away from following Him, He will once more abandon them in the wilderness, and you will destroy all these people.”
Most would say “live and let live.” Do not judge others because who is to say what is right or wrong? These love to quote Jesus in this regard, stating He did not judge but loved. However, Jesus was continually warning those He spoke with regarding impending judgment if they did not repent. This was not only the case individually but also as a nation. Moses’ words to the nation of Israel were no different, nor are they different for us today.
We would like to believe our behavior only affects us individually. However, we should know that both those in the Old and New Testament taught how we are destroying not only ourselves by our sin but also the moral fabric of our societies and nations.
Beloved, may we judge ourselves and others correctly and not be silent about sin. May we confront it knowing how it desires to consume us in this wilderness of compromise the church desires to dwell in.
