It's time to set the record straight for the confused and misguided people in the world and remind them of the truth. Satan and his lies have pushed many of us to the point of saying, "Enough is enough!" He has finally over-played his hand and Christians are taking a stand for truth! This post is not meant to be judgmental but to inform those who may not know that there will be judgement for the way they live their lives. Each one of us will stand before the judgement seat one day and have to explain to the God who created us, what we have done to honor Him.
When God created mankind, He created us as male and female. It was Him who determined our sex and He is not a God of confusion; He doesn't make mistakes contrary to what many people believe. If you are confused about your sexuality, it's because you are listening to Satan because he wants to confuse you and make you doubt the Creator of the universe. His plans go against everything that God has planned for your life and if you believe his lies, the plans God has for you will be delayed. However, God's plans will always come to fruition because He is far more powerful than Satan. You may disagree with God for a time but remember that Satan comes only to steal, kill and destroy. He does not have your best interest in mind. God loves you and wants only the best for you.
The abortion issue is another example of Satan's lies. Every single life matters to God - as Dr. Seuss said, "A persons' a person, no matter how small." But Satan wants those who are created in God's image to die, and he's found ways to help many make a profit by killing the unborn and by convincing potential mothers that they are doing both themselves and their babies a favor by putting an end to their lives. More lies, more killing. He's a devious one always seeking humans to do his bidding. He can't do anything without people who are willing to cooperate with him.
The gay lifestyle is an abomination to God but Satan and his lies have people celebrating this lifestyle as a natural part of life. There is nothing natural about it and certainly nothing to celebrate as far as God is concerned. God heard the outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah most probably from Lot (Genesis 18:20-21) and sent His angels to find out if the sin in those towns was as bad as what He'd heard. Abraham asked God to spare the cities if there were 10 righteous people living there and God agreed. However, there were so many homosexuals living there that God destroyed the cities completely. Only Lot and his family escaped the devastation. Does that sound like a God who approves of homosexuals? Those who are immoral will stand before God one day and be judged for their choices.
Those who harm and take advantage of children will also have to answer to God on the day of judgement. Jesus said, "Whoever welcomes a little child like this in my name welcomes me. But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and be drowned in the depth of the sea." (Matthew 18:5-6) This applies to all those who are teaching children the distorted ways of the world right now. Drag queen story time, pedophiles who are trafficking in child pornography, using children for sexual pleasure and teaching them things that take away their innocence and opportunities to grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Again, Satan wants to destroy these children and steal their childhoods.
There is another issue which has plagued the "church" for a number of years, and it bears mentioning. So many "Christian" brothers and sisters are living together without the sacred vows of marriage. In Hebrews we read, "Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral." (Hebrews 13:4) Those who are not Christians obviously do not have to obey God in this, but for those who are Christians, I have to ask you, "Why don't you get married?" I'm sure the answer would be monetary reasons and all I can say is, "Shame on you! Don't you believe that God would take care of you financially if you obeyed Him?"
We all make choices every day and those who believe in God as the creator of the universe need to make choices according to His will and choices which will honor Him. The "church", the bride of Christ, is at a crossroad right now. So many Christians have sat on the fence for too long, agreeing with "the world" on moral issues because they don't want to offend anyone. As a result, instead of the "church" showing the world how to live, we've let the world tell us how we should live. It's really gotten to the point of disgusting and it's time we live according to what the Bible teaches even if "the world" thinks we are narrow-minded. We should be more mindful of what God thinks of us than what the world thinks! He died for us, offers us eternity and wants to show us His glory, but are we ready to see His glory? Wake up church! Stand up for what's true and right even if the world hates you. Jesus said, "All men will hate you because of me, but he who stands firm to the end will be saved." (Matthew 10:22) Choose to stand firm in the name of Jesus!
Very well said. Amen.
