One issue that is at the forefront of our society today, especially here in America, is same sex marriage. The issue has drawn a line in the sand between those opposed and those for. The change in the military policy on gays, has emboldened the gay community, and we are recently seeing more athletes coming out and saying they are gay. I am not writing to debate this issue with know one, but to write too those who might read, to give God's perspective on this matter. You might say, how do you know God's perspective on this? John 3:19 say's; And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
The real issue is God has called homosexuality a sin. The Word of God in the old testament call's it an abomination, which means something morally disgusting. Jesus Christ is that light that came into this world to set us free from the bondage of sin. The more we resist or reject his word, the more we become depraved in our thinking. What do you mean preacher? You might at one time have thought about God, but by resisting to come to grips with the truth of His word, the deeper the enslavement to sin becomes. There is a point God turns you over to that enslavement. Romans 1:28; And even as they did not retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient.(KJV). This means God did not create you to be this way.
He does not want his creation to be enslaved to sin.This is why he sent his Son. John 3:16; For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.(KJV). If you are reading this blog, and you are one who is enslaved by sin, I urge you today to come to the light of His word. Do not let this sin that has you enslaved, keep you separated from the love of God eternally.
