Sin, or "Lifestyle Choice?"

The School of Christ Message for today

May 9, 2012


The Early Ekklesia had plenty of problems.

But one thing they had in their favor was strong spiritual leadership who could speak the truth and bring correction when needed.

Followers of Christ in those days weren't left to argue, debate, rationalize, or justify controversial moral issues based on popular opinion.  

Things like fornication, adultery, and homosexuality were sins, not "mistakes" or "lifestyle choices" or "just the way I was born."

Today's Harlot Church accepts everything in the name of "tolerance" and "not judging."  

To even have these questions open for debate among so-called followers of Christ is a failure of spiritual leadership, plain and simple.

It's also a failure of basic, common sense.

Scripture shows us the truth, if we'll listen.

Not only is it OK for us to judge, it is absolutely required of us.

And while we do thank God for all the spiritual blessings of love, mercy, grace and forgiveness, we still have a responsibility to honor God with our body.

How do we honor God with our body? 

Here's a simple place to start: "Flee sexual immorality" (1 Cor. 6:18a).  

You can spiritualize your beliefs all you want, but it doesn't get any more practical than that.
