Learn to do Good

Cease to do evil; learn to do good.” Isaiah 1:16-17
Isaiah chapter one is like an indictment against the modern church – too much sound, too little substance. Many churches have nearly abandoned the concept of sin which was exactly what Judah had done 2600 years ago. They thought that because they were God’s people they could get away with just about anything they wanted. They were reminded by God, however, that they were very wrong in that supposition.
God compared their thinking to that of rebellious children, to being like the immoral cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, and a people more interested in form than content. How much of American Christianity is standing on the sidelines of the moral chaos around them? How many saying, “Since I am a Christian, it doesn’t matter what I do?” God says, “Yes it does.” He told Israel to learn to do good, and He still sends that message to us today. We are not to hate the refugee, ignore the plight of the elderly, or take God’s laws lightly. We are to learn to do good.

Dear Father, Forgive us our insensitivity and lead us in the path of love and truth. Amen.
