HOMOSEXUALITY (2)
(Message by Tanny Keng)
1. Bible Topic
a) To learn what the Bible has to say on a variety of topics affecting our everyday lives, we may find what we are looking for here.
2. Homosexuality
a) Like all sinners, practicing homosexuals are called to repent. It's in the Bible, I Timothy 1:10-11, TLB. "Yes, these laws are made to identify as sinners all who are immoral and impure: homosexuals, kidnappers, liars, and all others who do things that contradict the glorious Good News of our blessed God, whose messenger I am.
b) What hope is there for me if I am practicing? All sinful patterns can be stopped, and God offers forgiveness, renewal, and restoration. It's in the Bible, I Corinthians 6:9, NKJV. "Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God."
c) There is hope for the practicing homosexual. It's in the Bible, 1 Corinthians 10:13, TLB. "But remember this—the wrong desires that come into your life aren't anything new and different. Many others have faced exactly the same problems before you. And no temptation is irresistible. You can trust God to keep the temptation from becoming so strong that you can't stand up against it, for He has promised this and will do what He says. He will show you how to escape temptation's power so that you can bear up patiently against it."
d) The weakest, the most struggling soul, may live, and find hope and sufficiency in God. It's in the Bible, Isaiah 42:3, NIV. "A bruised reed he will not break, and a smoldering wick he will not snuff out. In faithfulness he will bring forth justice."
The End ...
