Changing Definitions to Sanitize Our Actions

Repenting for the definitions we have created

Heavenly Father,

We come before you today to ask your forgiveness and to seek your direction and guidance. We know Your Word says, ‘Woe to those who call evil good,’ but that is exactly what we have done. We have lost our spiritual equilibrium, altered definitions and thereby reversed our values.

Look at how we have changed the definition of words.

Lottery

We have exploited the poor and called it the lottery.

Welfare

We have rewarded laziness and called it welfare.
Choice — We have killed our unborn and called it choice.

Justifiable

We have shot abortionists and called it justifiable.

Building self esteem

We have neglected to discipline our children and called it building self esteem.

Politics

We have abused power and called it politics.

Ambition

We have coveted our neighbor’s possessions and called it ambition.

Freedom of expression

We have polluted the air with profanity and pornography and called it freedom of expression.

Enlightenment

We have ridiculed the time-honoured values of our forefathers and called it enlightenment.
