In the beginning God formed a perfect world. Adam & Eve were perfect creations in a perfect world. Satan came along in the form of a serpent and got them to do the very thing that they were commanded not to do. The age of innocency was over. They could not go back after they were evicted from the perfect world.
In the first half of the twentieth century, people tried to keep private things private. Satan came along and whispered in some great thinkers ear that these people are prudish. Prudish became the by-word, so as the rest of the century went on, parents were trying not to be “prudish” like their parents were. It was too restricting, too binding. “We can’t breathe with your antiquated philosophies and rules”.
Now even our children’s innocency is over at an earlier and earlier age. We have great thinkers wanting to teach sex education in early primary grades. We have even greater thinkers – when a baby boy or girl is born into this world – these great thinkers can’t tell the difference, so instructing their children that they can identify as whatever sex they want to be. Even greater thinkers – we thunked about it so much our heads hurt, so we think possibly that you can make up whatever sex you want to be and whatever you can come up with – you be that. We have thought so much we can’t distinguish male or female, up or down, right or left.
These “philosophies” are creeping into the church. The age of innocency is over. Be on guard, protect your families and your church. Stand for Christ.
“Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,”
“And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.”
“Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:”
“Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.”
“For this cause God gave them up into vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:”
“And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of the error which was meet,”
“And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;”
“Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,”
“Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,”
“Without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful;”
“Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.” – Romans 1:22-32
Christians, Paul just described the world. We are in the world, but should be not of the world. Avoid worldly culture and philosophies. The bride of Christ should be ready for the wedding. Keep your lamps lit.
