Ezekiel 22-23

• God’s laws / rules are black and white.  Do not get coerced into relativism and accepting shades of grey, when there ARE absolutes of right and wrong, good and evil.
• Cities tend to be the focus of all that is evil.  People tend to get their spiritual strength, their growth, away from cities, when they are by themselves
• It is even a sin to cloud / grey the distinction between good and evil
• “The only thing that man has learned from history is that man has learned nothing from history.”
• God uses the object of our lust as the mechanism of our judgment
• Forgetting God is the fundamental issue behind all sin
• The two crimes in the OT that were punishable by stoning: murder and adultery.  Our current culture seems to wink at adultery
