There
is a strong attitude that seems to prevail in our world today. If
you love me, you will condone my lifestyle. You must accept me the
way I have chosen to live and if you don't, I just might do something
that you will regret. This is such a horrible attitude. It originates
in the pit of Hell and came from Satan himself.
We
are living in a time of great confusion and deception. Many are
falling for the lie and deception that however they want to live is
acceptable and should be celebrated by all the world. God’s Word
declares that to be wrong! We have been given the rules for our lives
in the Word of God. God is our creator and our sustainer. The one who
gives us the breath we breathe. He also holds the keys to life and
death and no man can change that! He is God and what He says is the
way it is, without argument.
Mark
12:29, “And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments
is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: 30 And thou shalt
love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and
with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first
commandment. 31 And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love
thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater
than these." KJV
There
is only One God and He is the one we should love, honor and respect.
He has given us the guidelines and boundaries for our lives. When we
go against God’s standard, we are asking for trouble. God is
patient but His Word declares what we sow we will reap! Yes, we are
to love our neighbor as our self. But, not to the degree that we
would justify any sin or disobedience to God's Word. Loving another
person does not mean that you are to accept and justify their ways.
It means when you really love them you will tell them the truth and
stand against sin and ungodly living.
Proverbs
30:11, “There is a generation that curseth their father, and doth
not bless their mother. 12 There is a generation that are pure in
their own eyes, and yet is not washed from their filthiness. 13 There
is a generation, O how lofty are their eyes! and their eyelids are
lifted up. 14 There is a generation, whose teeth are as swords, and
their jaw teeth as knives, to devour the poor from off the earth, and
the needy from among men." KJV (continued)
