Ungodly Desires
But you must remember, beloved, the predictions of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ. They said to you, “In the last time there will be scoffers, following their own ungodly passions.” It is these who cause divisions, worldly people, devoid of the Spirit.

Bible Study on Homosexuality
I was asked to gather verses from the Bible that speak against homosexuality. While I was at it, I decided to make it into a short Bible study on the subject. We know that God absolutely forbade homosexuality in the Old Testament (Leviticus 18:22 and others), but many people try to say that “nothing was…

So That Satan May Not Tempt You
The husband should give to his wife her conjugal rights, and likewise the wife to her husband. For the wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does. Likewise the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does. Do not deprive one another, except perhaps by…

Each Man and Woman

Inherit the Kingdom of God
Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you.…

Not to Associate
I wrote to you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people—not at all meaning the sexually immoral of this world, or the greedy and swindlers, or idolaters, since then you would need to go out of the world. 1 Corinthians 5:9-10 stacked paper: Touch of Fall by Manu context: Some are arrogant,…

Is Ignorance Bliss?
I would like to address some very disturbing things that have been said in the public forum by people claiming to know God. I’ll take them in reverse chronological order—starting with the most recent. I know there are many, many shocking things being said every day, but for that very reason, I can’t tackle them…

As Examples for Us
Now these things took place as examples for us, that we might not desire evil as they did. Do not be idolaters as some of them were; as it is written, “The people sat down to eat and drink and rose up to play.” We must not indulge in sexual immorality as some of them…

Therefore Repent

Works of the Flesh
Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these.

A Word to Those Who are Wise in Their Own Eyes
Do you see a man who is wise in his own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for him. Proverbs 26:12Let me be frank and to the point. Getting what you think you want is not always a good thing. Sometimes, usually after it’s too late, there are deep, heart-wrenching regrets. Just…

From Within

Out of the Heart
“But what comes out of the mouth proceeds from the heart, and this defiles a person. For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false witness, slander.

Rod of Discipline or Spirit of Gentleness
What do you wish? Shall I come to you with a rod, or with love in a spirit of gentleness? 1 Corinthians 4:21 The above verse continues on in the next “chapter” (which is sad, since there were no chapters in the original text, and that is not a good place to break) as follows:…

Darkened Understanding
Now this I say and testify in the Lord, that you must no longer walk as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their minds. They are darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, due to their hardness of heart. They have become callous…

Conqueror Will Inherit
The one who conquers will have this heritage, and I will be his God and he will be my son.

Revel in the Daytime
For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but cast them into hell and committed them to chains of gloomy darkness to be kept until the judgment; if he did not spare the ancient world, but preserved Noah, a herald of righteousness, with seven others, when he brought a flood upon the world…
