I have been asked more than once, “Why do you write about homosexuality, and not about theft, or greed, or drunkenness, or reviling, or swindling?”
I mention these sins because the Bible lists them alongside homosexual practice as sins that will keep us out of the Kingdom of God (1 Corinthians 6:9–10), unless we are forgiven and justified by faith in Christ (1 Corinthians 6:11).
I write about homosexuality because far too many people in the world and the Church now celebrate it. My hope is to help Christians disapprove of it in a distinctly Christian way.
Be sure that if millions of people around the world began to celebrate the beauty of adultery during “Adultery Pride” month, I would write about it.
No sin must keep a person out of heaven. None.
What keeps a person out of heaven is the unrepentant pursuit of sin, and the rejection of God’s provision for its forgiveness in Jesus’s death and resurrection.
Same-sex desires need not be chosen, planned, or wanted. They are simply there. We choose whether to engage them as the enemy, or we make peace with them and risk our souls.
To be clear men and women are just as likely to perish from embracing anger and self-pity as our neighbor is from embracing homosexual desires. That’s how serious all sin is.
Ultimately, my writing, teaching and speaking about homosexuality is not a crusade. It is a mission to see sinners saved.
Somewhere along the line we lost our Biblical footing, and we abdicated our authority – the Word of God.
We are losing our culture largely because many have and continue to refuse to fight individually and collectively, not against flesh and blood, but Satan and his degenerate, degrading ways.
When it comes down to fighting for lost souls, standing in the gap and speaking the truth about sexual sin, I refuse to cower in the face of homosexual intimidation. I will endure your harsh rhetoric, insults, and threats but I will not sidestep either truth or grace, being purposed to speak clear truth about this issue and extend grace toward every person – yourself included.
“We rejoice in hope of the glory of God” (Romans 5:2).
No one, no one should ever be excluded from knowing His joy.
Which is why dedicated faithful followers of Christ Jesus live to include as many as possible in it.
It is the only joy that lasts forever.
Please do not forsake the eternal by living only for the temporal.
