Is not one of the greatest tragedies in the world at this hour the failure to feel moral indignation and wrath because of things that are happening? Is not there a fatal tendency to be complacent and to explain everything away, and to remain indifferent? Even though we hear people “on the air” and on public platforms deliberately teaching “Evil, be thou my good,” still there seems to be no protest. We seem to have lost the capacity to be roused morally by a sense of indignation. This is, to me, one of the major problems in the world today. There has been a steady decline in morals, not only in behavior but in outlook and reaction. We merely shrug our shoulders and allow sin to go unrebuked.
D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones, “Darkness and Light: An Exposition of Ephesians 4:17-5:17,” pg. 230
Moral indignation is being pummeled out of us, every day we're watching sin and perversion being rewarded while what's good and right being punished and persecuted. We are living in an Isaiah 5:20 world.
