God speaks today Monday | May 29, 2023
Now therefore the sword shall never depart from thine house; because thou hast despised me, and hast taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be thy wife.
(2 Samuel 12:10)Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
(Galatians 6:7) Breaking ties takes time and patience
The Church needs to find a balance between the call to holiness and the merciful heart of God. While the writer is opposed to any practice that goes against the Word of God, such as homosexuality, adultery, or any type of lust, they also recognize that people fall into spiritual traps due to the highly experimental world we live in. This can include falling into the addiction of pornography, adulterous relationships or sexual relationships outside of marriage. Churches need to be places where people can feel safe to express their struggles without fear of condemnation, and where there are Pastors with experience and knowledge of the dynamics of sanctification and transformation of mind. Churches of grace, love, and mercy combined with a commitment to holiness will be most effective in drawing people to the knowledge of Jesus Christ.
