Yes, may we all show the love of Christ to those around us. Sometimes it's hard when we disagree or someone just rubs us the wrong way, but we must really make an effort to extend the olive branch and bring peace. I struggle with being loving myself.

Thanks for cluing me in on a good thing. These are great little devotionals.

Ok, people. If I am in the store, and I hear someone using shocking profanity, I will complain. After all, a child could be within earshot. If I see homosexuals, how in the world will I know they are homos? After all, they are just standing there minding their own business, right? Wrong. They, like the user of loud profanity, are making a public show of sin by kissing, holding hands, etc. User of profanity, keep your noise to yourself! Homosexual, keep your noise to yourself! My children and I don't want to see it! Do not idly sit by, Christian brothers and sisters, and make a mockery of God by calling sin good.
On the other hand, I would hesitate to walk up to perfect strangers and point out their sins. It's one thing to see inappropriate behavior and make a complaint. It's another thing to challenge everyone you meet. "Hey, you over there, I think you are an adulterer! Hey you, you have sinned by not observing the sabbath!" Rather, let us reach out to every sinner (every human), by offering Jesus for the covering of all sin. After all, homos are not only sinning by their sexual acts. They were born into sin and have just as much guilt, in the very essence of their humanity, as we did before Jesus took our guilt on Himself. Praise God.

Love the sinner, hate the sin. Kind of hard to do, isn't it? Homosexuals who believe they are without sin are in danger of hellfire. Scripture clearly states homosexuality as sin, and if you are going to deny this, then you might as well deny the existence of God while you're at it. Why would God impose such a law on humans? Perhaps He has the right, as the author of humanity, to make the rules. Perhaps He has our safety from disease in mind. Perhaps He wants His people to preserve the form of family that He intended. Adam was lonely, and God did not give him an animal as a mate. He did not give Him another man. He saw that is was "not good for man to be alone," and He gave him woman. Man was empty, there was something missing from his life, and God created the perfect counterpart, the other half of the jigsaw puzzle. The 2 became one. God made marriage of man and wife to be a fulfilling and joyful thing. Just say for a moment, that God has not clearly stated in Scripture that homosexuality is a sin. Please tell me what *good* comes from it? God works in all things for the good of those who love Him. Marriage is good, two halves become a whole. Sex between (married) male and female is good, was meant to be, and creates new life. If God meant for male and male to unite, the human race would not exist, or men would be made to give birth. Think about it people! Compare your ideas to the word of God, please!
Back to my original point, let me remind everyone that *everyone* who thinks they are without sin is in danger of hellfire. For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Let us be like Moses, who chose "rather to endure ill-treatment with the people of God than to enjoy the passing pleasures of sin." My prayer is that homosexuals will turn to Christ and leave their sin. I pray that Christians will not be fooled into the worldview that any and every lifestyle we choose is OK. I also pray that we will all look in our own lives and see where we may be pleasing our own sinful nature instead of glorifying God. May He continue to lead His people in the right paths. Praise the name of the Lord!

Brother 10, it would be a good idea for you to stop trying to prove God wrong through all of your extensive research, and see if it's possible to prove Him right. Start by praying. Give it a shot, ask God himself to prove Jesus to you. It can't hurt if Christianity is so false, because nothing will happen, and you never have to tell anyone you tried prayer out for yourself. But if the Word of the living God is true, watch out! Your life will be turned upside-down! Can you handle the challenge?
