I was recently brought to a question i had to struggle with and what I'm about to say and bring to your attention may unsettle some people but if it does i hope God uses it as a wake up call. I listened as these ladies had a conversation one being a person who claims to follow God and the other doesn't. This is what got to me the Bible clearly speaks against sexual immorality and homosexuality. I heard the alleged Christian say "My pastor's have all sorts of reasons and excuses about why they think homosexuality is a choice and not something people are born with and I know what the Bible says but that doesn't matter people will love who they want to." before i go any further let's see exactly what the Bible does say before i get to my question. Romans 1:24-28. "So God abandoned them to do Whatever shameful things their hearts desired. As a result, they did vile and degrading things with each others bodies. They traded the truth about God for a lie. So they worshiped and served the things God created instead of the Creator himself, who is worthy of eternal praise amen! That is why God abandoned them to their shameful desires. Even the women turned against the natural way to have sex and instead indulged in sex with each other. And the men, instead of having normal sexual relations with women, burned with lust for each other. Men did shameful things with other men, and as a result of this sin, they suffered within themselves the penalty they deserved. Since they thought it was foolish to acknowledge God, he abandoned them to their foolish thinking and let them do things that should never be done." My next thought after listening to this lady was this. Why is this lady even going to church if God's word doesn't matter and she's not going to listen to the pastor's teaching her? Just stay home lady there's no reason for you to go. Church has become a social club because you choose not to see sin as being sin and you are making your own choices about what parts of God's word is going to apply to you. Now pay attention and get this thru your head I am not picking out one sin over another I'm simply showing through scripture what God says so if anyone reading this wants to get mad it's not Zac you're mad at but what God says about sin. If coming to know God when you go to church and read his word is not your priority then your life is out of whack. God sent Mosses to Pharaoh many times and if you read Exodus it says Pharaoh hardened his heart then suddenly it says God hardened his heart. I began praying for this lady asking God to break her heart and get her attention. We don't have the liberty to pick and choose God's commands. in Revelation 3:15-16 we find God challenging a church to take a stand for him. "I know all the things you do, that you are neither hot nor cold, I wish that you were one or the other! But since you are like lukewarm water, neither hot nor cold I will spit you out of my mouth!" People i appeal to you and so does God take a stand against sin and stand for what's right and wrong. If you participated in homosexuality or any other sin God says you can be made clean by his blood. for those of you who are already followers of God 1 Corinthians 6:11 says this "Some of you were once like that. But you were cleansed; you were made holy: you were made right with God by calling on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God." For the Christians reading this I'm hereby challenging you to stand firm and and put Christ as first priority in your life and stop playing church. I''m going to leave you with the words of Joshua 24:14-15. "So fear the Lord and serve him wholeheartedly. Put away forever your idols your ancestors worshiped when they lived beyond the Euphrates River and in Egypt. Serve the Lord alone. But if you refuse to serve the Lord then choose today whom you will serve Would you prefer the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates? Or will it be the gods of the Amorites in whose land you now live? But as for me and my family we will serve the Lord." Are you going to follow God or just pretend to to?
