I AM ACTUALLY NOT A BIGOT IF IT'S NOT MY OPINION BUT GOD'S WORD

God loves all people but the things that torque, deceive, and mar that image of God given to us, He has no toleration for because it keeps us from what He knows as His best for us. God’s love is jealous for us because He wants His best for us and His wrath is against anything that would keep us from that Good. Yes, people are free to choose not to let Jesus be Lord of their lives, but demanding that I approve and bless what God states is contrary to His plan for humanity this is what I think is ultimate injustice. I have dear people I love who are gender dysphoric and living a gay lifestyle. I don’t define them by their sin any more than God defines me by sin I struggle with. Actually, my opinion matters very little, but I do believe what God has stated will make for true living and what will reduce a person to mere existence and ultimately numb their souls to become like spiritual lepers where they can no longer feel that their way is not making for life as God desires for them. All of us are born sinners and that’s why Jesus suffered, died, rose again, ascended to heaven and sent the Holy Spirit to empower all who would believe Him to live new lives. People chose to live out the brokenness of sin in many ways. The list seems endless: greed, envy, bitterness, unforgiveness, sexual immorality in its varied forms, pride, narcissism, control, witchcraft (manipulation, intimidation, and domination), alcoholism, abuse, mercilessness and the like. I can’t condemn having been forgiven for much worse than I see in people still trapped by the deceitful mess of sin. I know I’ll be called “judgmental, bigoted, and all manner of phobics” because I can’t approve, endorse or bless what God states will ultimately destroy the creatures of God. But, there I stand and can stand nowhere else. God help me. I love you.

WHAT DO YOU BLESS? It would be an act of utter folly and disaster were I to choose to "bless" what God will not bless. God's wrath is set against anything and anyone that would try and hinder you becoming all He created you to be and to grow in by being united to Him through the sacrifice and resurrection of Jesus Christ. There is nothing arbitrary about the Word of God. He is very specific on what will make for life and what will not. Human life only becomes human life when the Holy Spirit becomes Life withing a believer. Being united to the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, the follower of Jesus becomes a new creation and begins to live Life as God intended. God begins the good work, and He is the One who will bring it to competition. Somethings will NEVER make for life. What God calls sin, missing the mark of what will make for life, is always sin regardless of what culture anywhere and anytime say to the contrary. Sin cannot save, heal, redeem, restore or remake...

 INFINITELY MORE Ephesians 3:20-21 " Now all glory to God, Who is able, through His mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.   Glory to Him in the church and in Christ Jesus through all generations forever and ever! Amen." In the Gospel of John, many of His followers turned away because of the covenant commitment He required of those who would follow Him. That covenant declared that what was to happen to Jesus would also happen to them. We, too, must lay our lives down and choose the will and way of God's Kingdom over all else. Those in the crowd knew that in Jerusalem, the Jewish religious leaders were plotting and planning Jesus' destruction. To follow Jesus to that degree required denying self and the thrall of the world and its ways, even to the point of laying one's life down by refusing to deny the Lord and His salvation. Jesus turned to the 12 and asked, " Are you also going to leave?" ( John 6:67-...

BEWARE DECEPTION   Deuteronomy 18:9 “When you enter the land the Lord your God is giving you, be very careful not to imitate the detestable customs of the nations living there. Deuteronomy 12:29-30 “When the Lord your God goes ahead of you and destroys the nations and you drive them out and live in their land, do not fall into the trap of following their customs and worshiping their gods. Do not inquire about their gods, saying, ‘How do these nations worship their gods? I want to follow their example.’ Pragmatics was the downfall of Israel when they took possession of the Promised Land. To the unredeemed eye, it seemed that the fertility gods and agricultural gods of the pagan nations actually were helping the indigenous peoples. Just because something works does not make it right or good.  God promised to prosper His people if they would trust Him to the point of obeying His Word. God's Word is not empty. When He directs and commands, it is always for...
