Romans

I read about how the Romans' lifestyles were when Paul addressed the Church with the GOOD NEWS. These people just didn't care. They heard the good News that Paul shared with them, but the Bible said they ignored it and fell into deep sin. These people had NO EXCUSE! They knew the truth, but they still chose to behave the way they did, and they encouraged others to do the same.

My observations are that things are still the same with people today. They have no bounderies of living. Everything is an acception to them. Lets take Homosexuality for example. In our society today, this is becoming bigger than its ever been. I see more same sex relationships than heterosexual relationships. It's like what is normal now? I question that, and if I didnt know the truth I would be confused.

In Romans chapter 1, Paul mentions a lot on homosexuality. There are 2 important messages that needs to be said on Homosexuality.

1) Is for our society: which have lost any meaningful idea of sin, righteousness, holiness and truth. The message is that all lifestyles are NOT acceptable. Some sins such as alcoholism, materialism, and Homosexuality, are wrong, its a sin.

2) Is for the Church (all Christians).What they need to understand is that while homosexuality is a sin, it is not the unforgivable sin. God loves homos just as much as he loves other sinners. Jesus' death on the Cross paid for homos sins just as it paid for the sins of lust, greed, sexual immorality, gossip, jeaolousy ect. The Church is a HOSPITAL for SINNERS, not a SHOWCASE for SAINTS.

So my thoughts on this is that time has changed, but cats still doing the same thing, its just getting worst. If we know people like that, dont be judgmental, be prayerful, and be like Paul... Spit the GOOD NEWS AT'EM!!!
