Freedom of the Family

Freedom of the Family

            You think you have been freed from the weight of your sin because you deny the sin in your life. But truthfully, you are bound by the sin in your heart. God's plan was for the perfect family unit. He created Adam and Eve as an example of the completeness of His creation. Satan seeks to destroy the family unit and therefore gives a perverted substitute, homosexuality, which will not naturally reproduce the unit God has put into place. God gave woman and man as an example of His complete compassion both gentle and firm.

            Genesis 19:9 references homosexuality. Lot knew the abomination was so abhorrent that he would rather offer his daughters instead. Nevertheless, the world has relabeled the sin as “alternative.” Perhaps that is an acceptable definition, but more specifically, it is alternative to obedience to God and leads to destruction.

            I heard an argument from a man the other day that said that he was alright with being homosexual and that made it OK. The same might be said for the liar. If a liar sees no wrong in the lies he tells does that mean he is right with God. If the murderer sees no wrong in the murders he has committed does that mean he is right with God? NO! The measurement which must be used is the holiness of God.

            God has stated his rules and until one is willing to admit the sin one is committing, one cannot be forgiven. Unrepentance is the sin that will keep one from entering eternal life.   

            I believe the destruction of the family in twenty-first century America can be directly related to the acceptance of politically correct sins that are accepted in the place of worshipping the truthful God.

            The power we have is the power of family. The family is a unit that God has given us for support in our time of need and struggles. If Satan successfully destroys the family it is more difficult to be victorious over the natural struggles of life.

            As I sit in the funeral of my uncle I marvel at the support each one of the family gives the other. They share the power God has given them to cope with struggles. Unfortunately many don't recognize that the power they are experiencing is God given to cope with the situations of this life. It is through the power of the Holy Spirit that families can remain strong. Families must recognize that God must be placed at the head of the family for them to experience the full power that is offered through Jesus.
