Please understand before you read this, I have 2 grandsons, and prayerfully more to come if it is God’s will, and I am very concerned for them. It seems to me that more and more today, even Christians are compromising the word of God.
It is our business to speak up as Christ’s followers. The world is getting louder than we are. We are to be the light, not join in with what Jesus died for.
This is an old song, but I can’t find anything more fitting for this world today. How I pray “People get Ready” because Jesus is coming soon. The signs are all showing. Like my Pastor always tells us, Don’t be surprised at what you see the world coming to. The world does and believes what the world does. He is so right, and when I think that way it keeps my heart where it should stay. Praying for the unsaved people, and even us believers, for not being the light that Jesus asked us to be for Him. We should stand on His word and honor Him, not fearing anyone. God’s word tells us in Samuel 2: 30, “Those who honor me I will honor”…. So don’t be afraid to stand for what is right and moral, even in your own home. The world speaks out loud with no fear. So what is stopping us as His chosen ones? God is true to His word for those who do.
Please understand what I am about to talk about I am not judging anyone, that is God’s job. Mine is to just share His truth. I have many gay friends, and also some family members whom I love dearly and so does God. It hit me really hard, when right in my own home town they passed the law for same sex couples to be married. Understand that I too am a sinner saved by the grace of God and the blood of His Son. Something I surely didn’t deserve. I will never be perfect this side of heaven. I just choose to let God’s word continue to change me. I won’t, and can’t make a right, or see nothing wrong with, what my Jesus died for. He died for the sins of us all. Homosexuality is just one of the many sins. It still is sin, and God wants us to turn from it to Him (Acts 3: 19). God will not take sin lightly, just like we wouldn’t take lightly what we tell our children is wrong. There is no compromise for what can harm us.
I am going to use these 2 scriptures of many others in God’s word, but some things you will have to seek for yourself because the truth will set you free. Jesus said to seek Him and you will find Him, so I pray you do. If you don’t have a bible just Google “ Bible verses on Sexual Immorality” and a WHOLE LOT will come up for your easy read.
Matthew 19: 4-5, First let’s remember that in the beginning God created them male and female. “Haven’t you read,” he replied, “that at the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,’[a5 and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh”
I picked these 2 scriptures because, not only did God lead me to them, but because it not only applies to homosexuality which is immoral, but anything else that will keep someone from the kingdom of heaven. It should really open your eyes to a world in such need of Jesus. We can’t do it without Him. We are all weak in the flesh, but strong in the Spirit.
HEBREWS 13: 4 “Let marriage be held in honor by all, and let the Marriage bed be UNDEFILED, for God WILL JUDGE the sexually immoral and adulterous.”
1 Corinthians 6: 9-10 “Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, drunkards…. will inherit the kingdom of God.”
I will need Jesus until the day He takes me home because I fall so short when it comes to the flesh, but God knows I am after His heart, and always willing for Him to change me. I pray you see this worlds need for Him too, because it is truly going to hell.
