Romans 1

Lord God, I see that you have wrath towards all who refuse you. You tell us you are love, and mankind tries to hold you hostage by presuming to define what love means. But you are not subject to man’s decrees. You are the potter. You make the decrees.

Your wrath is revealed from Heaven against all the ungodliness and the unrighteousness of men. You condemn all who suppress the truth in unrighteousness.

You have shown yourself to all men since the creation of the world through your invisible attributes which are clearly seen, so man is without excuse if he refuses your person, power, and presence.

Many are not thankful and refuse your salvation and your glory. They make up their own futile philosophy, and their foolish minds are darkened. They profess to be wise and change the glory of the incorruptible God into the corruption of man.

Every thought and desire of man becomes evil unless you, Lord, grant repentance. Many refuse confession and repentance, and you give them up to uncleanness in the lust of their hearts.

Those people exchange the truth of God for the lies of evil. They wax worse and worse and finally, worse than can be imagined. So bad, in fact, that they give each other awards for their evil and claim to be proud of it.
