The Slippery Slope of Evil

Evil rarely shows up all at once, it slides in slowly. It often begins with a small compromise, a quiet exception to God’s clear standard. What once was called sin gets renamed as struggle. What God defined as holy becomes “open to interpretation.” Over time, the truth isn’t just bent, it’s flipped. Eventually, the culture doesn’t just reject God’s standard, it punishes those who still hold to it.

This is the slippery slope of evil: from compromise to celebration, from exception to inversion. Isaiah warned of a day when people would call evil good and good evil (Isaiah 5:20). That day is here. And behind it all is a spiritual leader with a dark agenda. Satan is the world’s pastor. Those who sit in his congregation twist what God has designed and pervert what God has defined. He doesn’t need to convince the world to hate God outright, just to redefine what He said until the truth becomes offensive.

The Church must resist the drift. Now more than ever, we need to stand firm, not just in what we believe, but in "why" we believe it. God’s standards are not suggestions. They are life-giving boundaries rooted in His goodness. Compromising them may feel easier in the moment, but it always leads us somewhere we never intended to go.
