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 are living in an age where anything goes.
Morals have been degraded to the point where there is very little that is considered to be truly wrong.
Babies are killed by the hundreds of thousands each year while still in their mother’s womb.
Children are stolen and trafficked for sex.
The holy institution of marriage has been largely destroyed and nullified.
The traditional family, established by God, has been torn apart.
People are told that they can choose their own gender based on how they feel on any given day, despite what their biological body parts tell them.
Men are allowed to enter the restrooms of women, and those women (including little girls) are powerless to stop it.
And the list could go on, and on and on.
Depravity has become the norm, as a large percentage of people across the globe accept this behavior and say or do nothing to stop it.
And sadly, even members of the body of Christ have embraced some of this as being OK.
We are here today to stand and boldly proclaim that none of this is OK. None of this is acceptable in God’s sight.
It was said by God in His word that it is wrong, and that still holds true today.
This may not be popular to speak or to say. It may anger some. It may bring the wrath of some others upon us for speaking it. But truth is still truth, no matter what century we are living in.
In the verses above, Paul is speaking to the church; Christians, not the world.
He was making it clear that this is not acceptable behavior for believers. And he did so in no uncertain terms, with no apologies.
If you are unsure about any of this, we implore you to dig into God’s word and seek the truth. Everything we need in order to find truth is there. We just need to seek it out.
That truth will set us free if we let it. It will break the chains of bondage if we let it. It will transform our hearts and minds, and change our lives in ways that we could never imagine, if we let it.
Will we let it?
