We often speak of the world as if it's naive of its wrongdoing, but that's simply not the case. Backyard Burger workers wear uniforms that say, "Guilt: Now Even Tastier." One of the biggest teen clothing lines is the Sinful brand. Axe slogans claim that they can wash off last night. TV shows revolve around partying, sex, revenge, gossip, laziness, and lack of purpose. There is no question that the world understands that what it is doing is wrong. Sin sells.
Proverbs 13:16 says, "In everything the prudent acts with knowledge, but a fool flaunts his folly."
We live in a world full of people who love to do wrong. So, what do we do about this? Firstly, don't support these brands that promote wrong. Be one less customer of folly. Be an example to the world and give them no cause to call you a hypocrite. The world knows the difference between right and wrong because they embrace wrong and are happy to accuse you of wrong. But mainly, be lovers of God and his way. Proverbs 15:9 says, "The way of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord, but he who loves him pursues righteousness." Lovers of God should not just avoid sin, but they should love doing right and glorifying God in the process. If we are people of a God that loves us unconditionally and is deserving of all praise for his grace and sacrifice, we should be in pursuit of his wisdom rather than walk with the fools of this world.
