Greetings and blessings to all of you. The Sect. of Transp. has just announced he is now married to another man and is currently adopting a child. So, some in the church may ask what’s the big deal? Some in the church may ask what would Jesus say? Saints, recall when Jesus warned us about the days will come when it will be said, “Woe unto them that call evil good and good evil; that put darkness for light and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter; Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes and clever in their own sight. ( Isa. 5:20-21) Well, we are in those days. Progressive Christianity has challenged our historic Christian beliefs about marriage, sexuality, and sin. They claim the term “Christian” but denies the full authority of Scripture which is exclusive. The distortion of God’s Word is the root of all unfaithfulness. Some Christians (the true Christians) refuse to seek the “middle ground” just to get along and to be seen by the culture as inclusive/tolerant of situations that God is not pleased with. The Progressives has an agenda; that is to drive Biblical Christianity to the outer margins of society. This will work only if the true Christians stand for our biblical values and not see them as hateful, oppressive and bigoted. There is a prevailing current that is pulling the faithful Christians away from Scriptures. Similarly, to the Galatians; Paul told those Christians “I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you to live in the grace of Christ and the turning to a different gospel which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and trying to pervert the gospel of Christ. (Gal. 16-7) It is the same story line in the Garden of Eden that they are presenting to the church. The serpent said to Eve, “Did God really say?” Attention True Christians… There is no middle ground between defining marriage as the union of a man and woman and saying it can consist of something else. There is no middle ground regarding the sinful nature of humans, “There is no one righteous not even one …there is no fear of God before their eyes.”( Rom. 3:9-18) There is no middle ground concerning our sexuality when God has said in Genesis “God created mankind in his own image in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.” In Romans 3:3, “Let God be true and Every man a liar!”
With the Love of Christ
