Introduction
1 Corinthians 6:9-10 (NKJV) 9 Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, 10 nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God.
We live in an age of gray.
Black and white, right and wrong, have been swept under the rug and classified as antiquated and outdated.
Anything goes and is permissible in this “enlightened” time in the world’s history.
That’s what we would be told, anyway, by so many who support this kind of behavior.
Love is love, we’re told. It doesn’t matter who or what you love as long as you’re OK with it.
Sin is old fashioned, they say. Those values have gone out of style. And “who can truly define sin anyway?”, we hear again and again.
God’s word, however, tells us something vastly different. And though the world will tell us that God’s word is no longer relevant, or that we are misinterpreting it, they speak blindly and ignorantly, having no real knowledge of God or His word.
Sadly, much of this terrible, blasphemous ideology has trickled down into the church, being accepted by some believers as truth. And while some may not necessarily embrace it as truth, they will tolerate it and say that we are not to judge others.
We are here today to set the record straight and break this down so that the truth is clearly known, and there will be no question about what is right or wrong, based on what God’s word says about it.
This will not necessarily be all-encompassing. But it will give enough proof from God’s word to show that there should be no question about any of these topics.
Lastly, before we dive in, let’s be clear that this is not being done to throw stones, point fingers or condemn by our words.
God’s word convicts and also offers hope. So, let us be judged by the word of God, and let us be subject to God via His word, following that word on the path to an acute awareness of our sin, the need for genuine repentance, and a conscious choice to seek forgiveness as we follow Christ wholeheartedly, giving ourselves wholly to Him.
So, over the next several days, we will tackle these topics, one at a time, making sure that they are clear and irrefutable in the context of God’s word. We will define anything that may not be as clear as some might like it to be, making sure not to leave anything hidden or unclear wherever possible.
So, join us starting tomorrow for our newest teaching series. We’re looking forward to sharing it, and we hope you will truly enjoy it and it will help bring clarity and understanding where there may have been confusion.
