GAY TRUTH

We often think that “our day and age” differs significantly from previous eras. We tend to think that our day presents more dangerous and stubborn problems, requiring more complex and sophisticated solutions, from wiser and nobler people, namely ourselves. Someone has dubbed this attitude “chronological snobbery.” But one thing puts the lie to this self deception—the continuing existence and destruction of lust. Lust involves any strong desire, craving, or want that opposes the holy will and command of God .

Christians are not perfect, and they still sin—although they have placed genuine faith in Christ for salvation. Even the apostle Paul said, “Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made pe

Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion.” ( Romans 1:26–27)     Realize that you have a Redeemer, Jesus Christ , who sets you fre
