It's Wrong, Period!

S-Romans 1:26-27

S-"Therefore, since we have been made right in God's sight by faith, we have peace with God because of what Jesus Christ our Lord has done for us." Romans 5:1

A-the peace of being made right in God's sight by faith

L-Abandoned

      -"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 relationships with women, burned with lust for each other. Men did shameful things with other men and, as a result, suffered within themselves the penalty they so richly deserved." Romans 1:26-27

        I hope you have had time to digest these next several verses. Because I believe God makes His point very clearly we will not go into great detail. His Word really does speak for itself.

       So with that, let's get straight to the point.

          -Homosexuality is wrong!

Leviticus 18:22-says, "Do not practice homosexuality; it is a detestable sin."

It is detestable to the Lord and if you continue to practice this sin, you too, will suffer within yourselves the penalty you so richly deserve.

Harsh, extremely. Necessary, extremely. Important, extremely. Is there hope, absolutely.

Come to the Lord and confess your sins. Ask Him to deliver you from them and bring you into the light, and believe that He will.

Stop believing the lies that you were born this way, that is a lie from Satan himself. It goes against the very Word of God.

Stop believing the lies that it is okay and that God made you that way. That too, is a lie and goes against the very Word of God.

Stop being accepting of it, don't take it lightly, the Lord doesn't and either should we.

How are we to handle this. Love the person, but hate the sin they are entangled in. Speak God's truth to them. Don't be accepting of it. Yes we can love them, but don't lead them to believe we are okay with their lifestyle. We don't have to do this in a negative manner, we can do it in love and truth.

Pray for them. Pray daily they begin to grow a distaste for it.

Brethren this breaks the Heart of God. It should breaks ours too.

I want to close with 1 Corinthians 6:9-11
 
    -"Don't you know that those who do wrong will have no share in the Kingdom of God? Don't fool yourselves. Those who indulge in sexual sin, who are idol worshipers, adulterers, male prostitutes, homosexuals, thieves, greedy people, drunkards, abusers, and swindlers-none of these will have a share in the Kingdom of God. There was a time when some of you were just like that, but now your sins have been washed away, and you have been set apart for God. You have been made right with God because of what the Lord Jesus Christ and the Spirit of our God have done for you."

S-God's hope and mercy with someone today. Speak God's Word into their life.
