“All he did was list homosexuality among other sins.”
In the new PC America that we allowed to be created, this is simply nit allowed.
Well ya know, I believe it’s time for a positive assault on this problem. And it’s not what you might think. It is a vigorous promotion of the gospel answer to men caught in this sin.
Now I want to digress here to say I think the gospel we usually hear today is the wimpiest thing in a long time. There’s no way that most of what you hear in modern churches is going to fill men with the courage to be manly men, to use their innate toughness to glorify God, filled with God, instead of using it to glorify idols, filled with idol power. That went out with the medieval knights or something, it seems to me. And it is a DAMNED shame and I mean that word DAMNED. God is mighty disappointed here!
WE NEED THE CURE AND WE CAN’T GET IT IF WE KEEP REJECTING IT.
I think the tough, even “macho” (if we dare use that term) redneck he-man set are the right population to carry that gospel. If they will rediscover its power, and it’s a whale of a lot more than going oh shucks out in the field hunting ducks. It’s the power to forcefully say no to Satan’s baloney while saying an emphatic yes to God’s truth... it’s the power that both builds in God’s spirit and that stops the work of the destroyer.
In another aside, here’s one very little publicized thing about those men saved by gospel power from sex sin. They are MORE, not less, manly than their unbelieving counterparts who happened into natural gifts that “look okay” but which are not God centered at all. Yes, the more filled with God a man is, the more manly he will be.
I hope this does not come across as just empty philosophizing here. I hope it means something to somebody!
