Topsy-Turvy

Contributed by Michael Bates on Jan 21, 2024

Our society has become very perverse and our moral values are upside down (topsy-turvy). As Christians, we are in the middle of a spiritual war zone fighting daily against evil, sin and perversion. But with God on our side we can win the war and be declared victorious over the forces of darkness.

Our focal verse for this short sermon comes from Isaiah 5:20 CSB It says, 'woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness, who substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.'
