Read Romans 1:18-32
We have been talking about the danger of rejecting God. In verse 24-31 the Bible describes the sin that associates this danger of which homosexuality is mentioned. However before we go on a rampage against homosexuality please look further and do not forget what is also listed. Among the things listed is heterosexual immorality, lying, gossip, pride, disobedience against parents to mention a few. So often we as Christians want to jump on a bandwagon to bash homosexuality and overlook other sin issues. Listen to God sin is sin, whether is lying or committing homosexual sin its all disobedience. Now that does not downgrade the impact that these sins have upon a person or society. Clearly sin has different consequences, however that does not give us cause to justify judging someone more harshly for one sin over another. We must be very careful or else we may push someone away from hope of forgiveness by hardening their heart toward God, instead of them understanding that God loves them and is willing to forgive them is they are willing to turn from their sin.
Father help us to see that sin no matter what it looks like is against you. Help us to see that every person deserves to experience your love and forgiveness.
