    The cultural war is not a fought over matters of opinion and lifestyle but over issues of righteousness and truth verses sin and error. Christian values have been challenged by political correctness as opponents to God and faith have called “evil good and good evil” (Isa. 5.20).

     At the heart of the cultural war is the battle over social liberties as some interpret liberty as liberty from moral laws and accountability. Freedom is defined by some as the freedom from restraint and the right to do whatever they want no matter the moral, spiritual, and social consequences. Yet while they preach liberty and freedom they bring themselves and others into the bondage of sin. Well did Peter write of deceivers that “while they promise liberty they themselves are slaves of corruption; for by whom a person is overcome, by him also he is brought into bondage.” (2 Pet. 2.18,19).

     Actually, the heart of the cultural war is God. Regardless of the specific issues which are argued, it all comes down to the attempt by some to remove God from society. From the attempt to remove the Ten Commandments from public displays to those who have tried to remove “under God” from the Pledge of Allegiance God has been the target of the cultural war.

     Recently, in the California Supreme Court it was ruled that the constitutionality to define marriage as that which is between a man and a woman was upheld. But this was a shallow victory for the court also ruled that same-sex couples can still enjoy the same rights and protections as married couples as long as they call the legal relationship a different name. Unfortunately, we are seeing more and more that those things the Bible explicitly calls lawlessness is now being called lawful in our society.

     The solution is to continue to fight the good fight. Sadly many fight the spiritual battle by bringing a knife to a gunfight. We cannot stand up for Biblical family values and principles of righteousness by using worldly weapons, worldly arguments, and worldly wisdom. Indeed, “the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments, and every high things that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ.” (2 Cor. 5.10,11). Only then can we see victory. CLP
