Shalom,


Before we get into the Scriptures we'll be looking at today I want to remind you of John 17:17:


17 Sanctify them [purify, consecrate them for yourself, make them holy] by the Truth; your Word is Truth.


This verse is telling us that God uses His Word, which is TRUTH (it doesn't just CONTAIN Truth, it IS Truth!) to set us apart for Himself. I wanted to establish the authority of the Word before we look at Mark 10:6-9 from the Spoken Word Bible Reading Plan:


6 But from the beginning of creation God made them male and female. 7 For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother and be joined to his wife and cleave closely to her permanently, 8 And the two shall become one flesh, so that they are no longer two, but one flesh. 9 What therefore God has united (joined together), let not man separate or divide.


This is just one of the many Scriptures throughout the Word of God that show that from the creation God meant for marriage to be between one man and one woman. It is NOT racist, sexist, bigoted or hateful to say that. It is just simply, and powerfully, the TRUTH! God has not made one person gay! That lifestyle is a choice, but it is not in accordance with God's will for anyone. We have a choice to make! Do we want to line our lives up with God's will, which is revealed in His Word, or don't we? I don't hate anyone for the choices they have made. But neither will I agree with anything that is contrary to God's Word. In all of this, we are called to love people into the kingdom, because it is the GOODNESS of God that leads people to repentance (Romans 2:4)! Amen! Here is Hillsong with "Lord Of Lords":

Shalom in Him!
