“For
the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet complete.” Genesis 15:16
Let’s look for a minute at the sins
of the Amorites. They were grossly immoral idolaters who reveled in their sins
and ignored the repeated warnings of God. They practiced infanticide
(abortion), were ritually given to fornication and homosexuality, and believed
that neither incest nor adultery were wrong. God still gave them four hundred
years to listen to His warnings and to repent before they were destroyed. But
He did declare that their judgment was sure.
We can see parallels to the Amorites
spreading across western civilization, and it rightly disturbs us to see it so.
We know that the unrepentant will be judged. What we too often neglect is that
God gave them time to hear and repent. That is still what He is waiting for
today. He wants us to bear the Good News of Jesus Christ and rescue people from
the certain judgment of the sin. Wringing our hands is not our job. Telling others
of God’s grace is.
Dear Father, Help me to be a
lighthouse in a dark world. Amen.
