LGBTQ...etc.

Young people, we all want a life of happiness and fulfillment. Our lives should have meaning, and we want to fulfill our God-given destiny. So here is something to consider in today's world: have you been approached by homosexual acquaintances, or been tempted to explore that sin? Human beings who are unaware of what God has to say tell you that it’s OK, that it’s normal, and that everyone accepts it but the narrow-minded. You have a court appointment with your Judge. The verdict and sentence is final. So, what does YOUR JUDGE say?

“That evening two angels came to the entrance of the city of Sodom. Lot was sitting there, and when he saw them he stood up to meet them. Then he welcomed them…so at last they went home with him…but before they retired for the night, all the men of Sodom, young and old, came from all over the city and surrounded the house. They shouted to Lot, where are the men who came to spend the night with you? Bring them out to us so we can have sex with them!"

But the angels blinded the men and brought Lot and his family outside the city. They told Lot’s family to escape, because they were going to destroy the city. Once Lot’s family was safe, the Lord rained super-hot fire and burning sulphur from heaven upon Sodom and the nearby sexually perverted cities! All this is in Genesis 19.

Later in the New Testament, Jude v.7 says, “Just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding cities, which likewise indulged in sexual immorality and pursued unnatural desire, serve as an example by undergoing a punishment of eternal fire.” Peter says in 2Peter 2:6-7 “God punished the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah by burning them to ashes, and this is a warning to anyone else who wants to sin.”

See that? The extreme punishment of Sodom and Gomorrah was a warning to everyone else in future generations! How can any person with a brain deny what God’s message is here? "Well, I don't believe that Bible story is true." "But God shows his anger from heaven against all sinful, wicked people who suppress the truth...They know the truth about God, because He has made it obvious to them. For ever since the world was created people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities--His eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse..." Romans 1:18-20.

“Oh well, we’re different—God wouldn’t do that to us! So we're going to indulge in it anyway.” How suicidal can you be? Rebelling against God? Please stand about 100 miles away from me! All the same lies to excuse their perversion were told back then—“We were born this way!” “God made a mistake!” “This lifestyle understands me better.” All excuses so that you can justify changing your "identity" and behavior from what God created to an unnatural form and not feel so terribly guilty about it.

Later, God told the Hebrew people that this sin is an “abomination” meaning the absolute worst kind of sin. It’s put in the same category as having sex with animals. And he said that the land itself vomits the people out who do things like this. So God is saying that this kind of behavior is literally nauseating. Leviticus 18:22-25. You may say, “Well, I can stop anytime I want to.” Wrong. After a time of God calling you, reaching out to you, the Bible says He will give up on you, and your conscience will no longer function. That’s in the last half of Romans chapter one. And II Thessalonians 2:10-12 says He will cause you to believe the lie you’ve embraced so you will be eternally lost.

THERE IS GREAT JOY, LOVE, AND FULFILLMENT FOR YOU!

Did you know that God has a destiny for you to fulfill? You may not realize that God has planned your life to accomplish something very special--or maybe many very special somethings! We are told in the better translations of Psalm 139 that God "ordained", meaning "laid out plans" for our days. We are meant to pursue our individual destinies by cooperating with God. If we continually derail our lives by cooperating with Satan, we will die never experiencing the great things God had laid out for us! (Plus, we go eternally to the master we cooperated with!)

So, PRAY to Jesus to save you! Tell Him you have sinned, but ask Him to clean you up. Then commit your life to Him! Read His Word! He will give you the power to RUN from every sexual temptation and perversion! ENJOY the refreshing fulfillment of the sexual experience in the only true form of marriage—that between a man and a woman. God blesses only THAT sexual union and wants you to remember that He created it for you.
