2 Peter 2:13 “They will be paid back with harm for the harm they have done. Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasure while they feast with you.”
Lord, this is happening before our eyes today! In the News and Advance newspaper today, there was an article about the Presbyterian USA denomination. They are going to ordain a minister, and I use that term very loosely here, who 20 or so years ago resigned from his church in California because he openly admitted to being a homosexual. The denomination stated today that they were ordaining their first openly gay minister, “marking the latest mainline Protestant church to move toward accepting homosexual relationships.”
Truly they fit into this category. How many, Lord, will they lead astray? What blasphemy! I know they will indeed be held accountable and will pair dearly for their actions.
It is one thing for unbelievers who do not profess any “religion” of any kind to engage in this type of behavior. It is something altogether different when those who profess “Christianity” become apostate in their belief and corrupt Your church. They blemish the church in the eyes of unbelievers, as even they know that this behavior flies in the face of the true church. Then the true church is called intolerant and bigoted when it speaks out against such behavior.
Do I believe Christians should reach out to the homosexual community and try to win them so they can be rescued from their lewd lifestyle and delivered from that sin? Absolutely! Do I believe that one should be elevated to “minister” or “Pastor” over a flock if they are not repentant of their sin? Absolutely NOT! They are not of You, Lord, but are of Your enemy the devil.
Oh, Lord Jesus, quickly come!
