Biblical Sexuality Can Save The Planet

Former American Vice President Al Gore claims that global warming is destroying the planet. Several others assert resource depletion, overexploitation of nature, overpopulation, war and political corruption are the main culprits.  Weather watchers are reporting a spike in severe storms. Earthquakes have rattled the Pacific rim creating deadly tsunami’s, volcanoes have leveled villages, tornadoes destroyed whole towns, and the USGS are observing an increase in activity in once dormant volcanoes. What is causing this stirring in our planet? What does the Bible have to say about this situation? 

Take a look at Leviticus 18: 24-28, “‘Do not defile yourselves in any of these ways, because this is how the nations that I am going to drive out before you became defiled. ²⁵ Even the land was defiled; so I punished it for its sin, and the land vomited out its inhabitants. ²⁶ But you must keep my decrees and my laws. The native-born and the foreigners residing among you must not do any of these detestable things, ²⁷ for all these things were done by the people who lived in the land before you, and the land became defiled. ²⁸ And if you defile the land, it will vomit you out as it vomited out the nations that were before you.?” What were these “ways” that Israel was to refrain from in order to protect the land?

The answer is given in verses 1 – 23 of Leviticus 18, “Sexual Immorality”. Sexual immorality was defiling the land and causing it to vomit out it’s inhabitants. Moses lists five sexual perversions that were corrupting the land and intensifying it’s convulsions. 1. Incest. 40 percent of girls and 30 percent of boys have been molested by a close relative in the United States. 2. Adultery/fornication. Recent studies have shown that between 30 to 60 percent of married couples will have an extramarital affair. By age 20, 75% of Americans will have pre-marital sex; By age 44, that number jumps to 95%. 3. Abortion. 50 million babies have been murdered since the legalization of abortion. 4. Homosexuality. Seven states including several US territories have legalized gay marriage. Movies, sitcoms, plays, and advertising are desperately trying to normalize this behavior. 5. Beastiality. The planet is simply reacting to the rampant sexual immorality in our world. What can we do about it?

Return to biblical sexuality and we will save the planet. Unrestrained passion is polluting the land and wreaking havoc on the earth. The apostle Paul says in Romans 8:19-21 that all of creation is waiting for the revelation of the sons of God so it can be freed from the bondage it has been subjected to.  If you really love the planet, then give your life to Jesus Christ and begin to restore the sanctity of sexuality that God has instituted to protect humanity, society, and the planet.

  

Can Religious Freedom Survive?

Can Religious freedom survive  the current onslaught of sexual devaluation? Today in Washington state the Legislature is votitng to limit religiuos freedom through the passage of gay marriage legislation. She is poised to become the seventh state to legalize gay marriage, which would put her in the same grouping as Massachusetts, Connecticut, Vermont, New Hampshire, New York, Iowa, and District of Columbia.

What is so wrong with gay marriage? Shouldn’t two people of the same gender who love each other be allowed to express their devotion by getting married? Where’s the harm in that? Several concerns can be voiced that have legitimate pause regarding the legalization of gay marriage such as, survival of the human race, sexually transmitted diseases, redefinition of marriage, unrestrained redefinition of marriage, and most importantly, Biblical integrity, but I would like to focus my remarks on an issue that is inevitably headed for a violent collision; ’the coexistence of two diametrically opposed rights’. How long can two legally upheld laws that contradict one another continue to compete before one consumes the other? Sexual freedom and religious freedom are vying for the soul of our country. As more and more states legalize gay marriage, Americans are being forced to choose between religious freedom and sexual freedom. There are noble efforts to synthesize the two, but it will only prolong the unavoidable. In order for the two laws to coexist, freedom of religion must be eradicated or significantly compromised. There is no middle ground. Proliferation of sexual freedom will come at the cost of a foundational principle in this great country. Unless Christians rise up and pray and seek the face of God for America, then we are seeing the beginning of the end.

Let the Battle Begin!

God told the serpent in the garden of Eden, “I will put deep seated hatred between your seed and the seed of the woman. He will bruise your head and you will bruise his heel.” (Gen. 3:15) Since the fall of humanity in the garden of Eden, Satan has been hell-bent on destroying the human race. With reckless rage he roams around seeking whom he may devour. His ultimate goal is to take as many people as possible into eternal damnation with him by deceiving them into believing that he is their friend and God is their enemy. Scores of humanity mistakenly raise their fist against God and continue to drink the “kool-aid” of demonic lies. Without question they follow the drumbeat of the enemy of their souls.

Stop the music! Wake-up! This is a FIGHT not a dance! God said, “We (seed of the woman) will bruise the devil’s head (seed of the serpent)”. Refuse to tolerate satanic harassment of your walk with Christ. God has a divine purpose for all of humanity that was preordained before the foundation of the world (Eph.2:10). The devil is working overtime to derail your destiny because he hates you and longs to see you burn in hell for etenity. But God so loved humanity that He gave His only Son that whoever believes in Him (Jesus) will not perish but have everlasting life (Jn. 3:16). Don’t get punk’d this year, instead STORM THE GATES OF HELL IN TWO THOUSAND AND TWELVE!

The Anti Christ Spirit Is Alive And Well

The Apostle John in his second epistle verse seven says, “For many deceivers have gone out into the world who do not confess Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an anti-christ.” Several years ago I attended a rally on the campus of Sacramento State University sponsored by a local chapter of the ’Nation of Islam’.  I patiently waited, as the speaker addressed the packed gymnasium. During his speech, he referred to Jesus as a “Prophet” and a “Good man”.  After his presentation, an opportunity was given for questions and answers, so I immediately took my place in line. When I reached the microphone I asked him a few questions. “Do you believe that Jesus was a prophet?” The speaker responded, “yes”. “Do you believe that Jesus was a good man?” “Yes” he said. If Jesus is a prophet and a good man, shouldn’t we listen to what He said about Himself? He agreed. Then I used a bible from  the audience to show him from John 14:1-11 that Jesus describes Himself as God. He shook his head in disagreement and adamantly refused to accept Christ’s own description of Himself as God.

The anti-christ spirit is willing to tolerate a good Jesus, but not a God Jesus. World religions all affirm that Jesus was a good man but they refuse to acknowledge Him as King of kings and Lord of lords.  Mormonism, Hinduism, Islam, Budhism, Jehovah Witnesses, and some sections of the church have all fallen prey to the deception of the anti-christ spirit. Do not settle for a lesser Jesus in order to appear more acceptable to peer and society.  There is an intense and agressive attack by this spirit against the church. Stand up and affirm the testimony that Jesus gives about Himself. He is God and there is no other way to heaven except through Him. Don’t allow the anti-christ spirit to minimize the price Jesus paid on the cross. He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquity, the punishment for our peace was upon Him, and by His stirpes we are healed.  Come to Jesus and receive your spiritual and physical healing. (Isa. 53:5) Blessings!

Beware of Eloquent Evil

Does the eloquent presentation of an argument overshadow its unbiblical content? Recently, a video was posted on facebook that featured a 19 year old man in Iowa passionately making a case for the legalization of gay marriage. His discourse centered around the well balanced individual he has become through the upbringing he received from his lesbian parents. With personal conviction and heartfelt emotion he captivated and inspired the hearers. There was absolutely no doubting his affection, but there was definitely an abundance of doubt regarding his message.

Eloquence and emotion must never foreshadow truth. God has set the standard for all of life in His word, the Bible. Determining success or failure through self measurment or group measurement is a formula for disillusionment. God has divinely designed every person for maximum expression. That expression can only be realized by submitting our heart and life to God’s prescribed Way.

Beware of eloquent evil. Never blindly accept any argument regardless of the packaging or passion. If it doesn’t coincide with the God’s word, then its ultimate destination is disaster. 

  

God is tired of our headache prayers!

The first message from the empty grave sounded more like a sick joke than a formula for non stop victory. Jesus instructed Mary to inform the disciples that, “I am going to My Father and your Father, to My God and your God.” (Jn. 20:17) This was no joke. Christ ascending to the Father brought about the manifestation of two important truths, an advocate in heaven and an advocate on earth. Jesus is our advocate in heaven faithfully defending us against the accusations of the devil. The Holy Spirit is our advocate on earth diligently facilitating the resources of heaven to enable us to complete our divine destiny. Christians can’t lose because all of the resources of heaven have been strategically positioned to guarantee non stop victorious living. If this is the case, then why are so many christians living defeated lives?

The answer is simple. We live small lives therefore we ask for small miracles. Our chistianity revolves around maintaining comfort as opposed to believing for the impossible. Souls are dying and on their way to an eternity without God, but our prayers continue to be consumed with headaches and parking stalls. God is tired of our headache prayers. With all of the resources of heaven at our disposal through the power of the Holy Spirit, and the Lord Jesus Christ as our chief intercessor, we should be believing for the salvation of schools, cities, states, and nations. Greater works are waiting to manifest. Ask big, believe big or go home. God is waiting for a people who will take Him at His word and revolutionize the world. (Jn. 14-16)

What are you doing with the resources of heaven?
