Homosexuality: What does God think?

Read Romans 1:18-32

Over the next several blog entries I want to deal with the topic of homosexuality. We know that in our society that this practice is becoming more and more accepted. But what does God think about it, what does God's Word say about it? This week we are going to focus on this passage to help us understand God's view of all ungodliness and unrighteousness. Today lets focus on verses 18-20. God tell us in these verses that ungodliness and unrighteousness whether it is homosexuality or heterosexual sin or murder or whatever brings about God's wrath. He also tells us that to know right from wrong has been clearly given to all men and this gives us no excuse for justifying sin. However our problem is not that we do not have a moral compass or moral law but that we choose to ignore that moral law. One of the biggest arguments that the homosexual agenda makes is that they are born as a homosexual. To say that we could also say that people are born to be murderers or commit heterosexual sin. None of us are born to one exact sin we are all born into sin and have a sin nature. This means all of us have the natural ability to sin and to choose to ignore the moral law that God has given. So to say that a person is born a homosexual or murderer is false, however to say that one is born with the nature to become one is true because we all are sinners and choose to either follow God or follow our sin nature. Which are you following today?

Father help us to understand that sin no matter what it may be brings about your wrath. Help us today to choose to follow you rather than our sin nature.
