Learning how to pray, plead, and persevere from the depths of your soul to the throne of grace, mercy, and love from biblical examples

Key Bible Verse: "If the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed." John 8:36

Key Bible Verse: "Your eyes have seen my formless substance; And in Your book were written All the days that were ordained for me, When as yet there was not one of them." Psalm 139:16

Key Bible Verse:  "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous, so that He will forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness." 1 John 1:9

Today we go deeper in this study to show that the verses decrying these licentious lifestyles - now being flaunted and celebrated in our nation - are not isolated ones, but are found from Genesis to Jude.  I also address what it means to "speak the truth in love."

It is sad that many Christians are afraid to speak up on matters God clearly addressed in His Word. Fear that we will be called haters or not exemplifying the love of God. Neither is true, and we know it.  In Part One of this message, born out of frustration over the constant celebration of these unbiblical, sinful lifestyles, I address many of the verses that speak directly or indirectly to the sins of practicing homosexuality. I am very clear on what God considers sin and what He does not. For example, temptation is not sin. Falling into it or giving in is.  By sitting back and allowing such an agenda to grow and permeate our society as cultural norms, we allow them to affect our children and grandchildren. That is a key piece of their agenda. Christians need to have the courage to "speak the truth in love" and disagree. Disagreement on positions of religion and even political matters is a constitutional right or at least it was. 

Twice Jesus told His disciples the reason for the problems in this world and the persecution and hardships they would face after He left this world. He called satan, “the ruler of this world.”  John 12:31; 16:11

For the weary Christian fighting the battles of spiritual warface, here are four promises of God to encourage you to win and rise above the fray and what we must do to realize them.
