In The Public Squares

Isaiah 59:14-15 ESV
14 Justice is turned back,
and righteousness stands far away;
for truth has stumbled in the public squares,
and uprightness cannot enter.
15 Truth is lacking,
and he who departs from evil makes himself a prey.
The Lord saw it, and it displeased him
that there was no justice.

Truth and justice no longer guide us in the public square. Other things have taken their place, springing from dark hearts. Speaking out and turning away from this evil invites ridicule and persecution.

We are told to persevere. Remember we stand on the mountain that will not be moved. There is a God and He is Truth. It will not always be this way.
