It's amazing how many "Christians" believe...

Homosexuality is okay
Abortions are okay
Anything but sex is okay

Really? Did the Holy Spirit tell you that? DID HE?

Those who say such things spend little (if any) time in the Word of God. They are self-deceived hypocrites.
God is looking for His people to be both loving to everyone, as well as bold in their stance on His Word. Those who refrain from speaking on the tougher truths are cowards. They care more about themselves than others. For true love presents the entirety of Truth.
True love is willing to be mocked, ridiculed, scoffed, and falsely labeled. True love endures persecution for the sake of Truth. It presents Truth in love, but it accepts being ostracized by the world and deceived Evangelicals.
True love lays down its life for others- whether that be physical or in enduring a false accusation of one's character. True love knows what is to come when the entire Truth is presented, but it endures and perseveres. For a faith that is not hated by the world is no faith at all
Only the true born again believer will hear the heart in this message and be encouraged. The rest who call themselves Christians but are on the road of hearing "I never knew you" will be the ones who are enraged and say "this is why people are turned off by Christianity."
Of course people despise Christianity. Everyone who is truly born again had to humbly admit that they were sinners and be open to conviction of their sin. We all had to lay our sins down, for that is how we become covered by the Blood. Through denying ourselves.
The Christian life is full of Hope, Goodness, Grace, Mercy, and Love - but until one admits that sin is sin and that one is a sinner, one's faith will only be illusory. It will be a faith that accepts all the blessings of God, yet denies the responsibility and call to obey.
This is the false faith that has swept the majority of the United States and the world, and we are calling it out right here and now. You cannot call yourself a Christian, if you cannot admit you are a sinner. You are not born again if you are not convicted by your sin.
We are saved by grace through faith. Only those who are both loving and bold will be both the discerners of the faith and truly born again. For true love is bold, and boldness must come out of a place of love. Sin is sin. There is only one Healer: Christ Jesus our Lord and Savior
