The less a person is involved with perversion, the more likely the person will generally find it odious.

Fine, all is agreed to this point.

But when we claim to be able to lump the world into two camps, “us” versus “them,” and further claim to make the distinction right here, right now, we presume way more than we have a right to based on empirical fact.

The truth is that the world is full of nothing BUT sinners, and there are few if any with an infallible “Christian radar.” Sometimes you can not know whether or not a person is even a believer until you have known him or her a long time.

This messy world calls for great individual discernment, not proud shooting from the hip. It gratifies us to pat ourselves on the back as the “non-perverts” while noting with proper disapproval the obscene orgy going on over there on the other side of the room. But nobody knows the leering look or filthy fantasy that we might find suddenly being entertained in our heads.

The less honest we are about our own fallibility, the more likely we are that Satan can take long term advantage of us through that fallibility.

I’d like to ask this “non perverted” church a question. How is its love life? Can it boast a lower divorce rate than the world in general? From last I have heard, the answer is no. If so, this ought to get us to stop and think real good. The slippery slope into worse stuff might be shorter and closer than we think. The answer that matters most is not “What camp are you in” but “What are you doing right now with Jesus and letting Jesus do with you?” I.e. not “where are you now?” but “what are you becoming?”

I am committed to letting Him make me His perfected child. I don’t know about the rest of you.

Well I sure hate the sin! I sure love the sinner because I’m commanded to love my neighbor as I love myself!! But I sure wish these perverse individuals would go and sin no more and quit trying so desperately to get all the rest of society to accept such a sinful way of life as normal, natural and even preferential when it so obviously flies in the face of God’s plan to be fruitful and multiply!!!
