When the World feels upside down
The world feels upside down, like something out of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland or through the looking glass, where right is called wrong and wrong is celebrated as right.
We are told murder is evil, unless it happens in the womb or is renamed compassion.
We are told to honour our father and mother, unless culture decides they are “toxic” and disposable.
We are told free speech matters, unless someone disagrees with what is being said.
We are told truth is important, unless the truth becomes uncomfortable.
We are told identity is self defined, even when it denies the very reality of how we were created.
The world calls this enlightenment.
The Bible calls it confusion.
Somewhere along the way society removed God, removed moral boundaries, and removed the very foundation that once held things together. Now we live in a culture where feelings often matter more than truth, personal happiness matters more than holiness, and self has become the highest authority.
But freedom without truth does not lead to peace.
It leads to chaos.
When there are no boundaries, everything eventually collapses into confusion because humanity was never meant to govern itself apart from God. We were created to live anchored to truth.
Faith is not bondage.
God’s ways are not restrictions designed to harm us.
They are foundations that keep a society from destroying itself.
The further we drift from God, the more unstable the world becomes because removing the Creator from creation never produces life.
We do not need more self-expression.
We do not need more moral compromise disguised as progress.
We do not need a world where everyone creates their own truth.
We need Jesus.
Not religion without relationship.
Not empty tradition.
But a return to truth, repentance, wisdom, grace, and the God who gives humanity a foundation strong enough to stand on.
Before society pushed God to the margins, the world still had problems because humanity has always struggled with sin. But there was still an understanding that truth existed, that good and evil were real, and that morality mattered.
Without that foundation, everything becomes shifting sand.
Isaiah warned of this long ago:
“Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness.” Isaiah 5:20
Maybe the answer is not found in becoming more progressive or more rebellious.
Maybe the answer is returning to the One we were never meant to live without.
“The further a society drifts from God, the more upside down it becomes.”
