EXODUS to the INFERNO?

Alan Chambers, CEO of EXODUS INT'L,  published his latest decision to reverse the mission of EXODUS - which was to support homoxexuals, transvites, etc. who wanted to come out of their lifestyle. According to Mr. Chamber's apology, he will spend the rest of his life trying to help homosexuals realize that their behavior is just as valid as biblical sexual intimacy - that the homosexual family is equal to any other family form, and he begs their forgiveness and will work to prove his love for them.

Every American either has friends or family members who have become addicted to immorality. They live for the "sexual fix."  Certainly I have those in my circle.  Do I love them? Yes.  Do I renounce the clear word of God on the subject, and comfort them that their lifestyle is accepted by God? No.  I am not God, I did not dictate His word, and therefore, if I am going to follow God I cannot afford to deliberately diviate from what He determins acceptable. I am an author of numerous books. I can and do rewrites on older books from time to time. New insights come that merit a rewrite, but God does not rewrites. It is what it is, and not one "jot or title" will ever be altered for eternity. He got it right in the first draft!

There are many intellectual and scientific reasons for the word of God never changing. which I may address at another time - the universe is "held together by the word of God."  Sin dismantles life. But the point is not what sin does scientifically the universe, God wants compliance (obedience) to His word based on our love for Him. If He had only desired obedience, He would have made robots. God wants a relationship that is based in love, and built on dependable commitment.  SO....

Isn't love, what Mr. Chambers new decision all about?  Not according to God's opinion and word on the matter. GOD IS LOVE.  At best, humanity outside of God gets "fuzzy feelings" that they may or may not hold on to.  Real love is well defined by God. Remember "If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater..."( I John 5:9)  This means that what men say about love is superceded by what God says about love.  But aren't we told to "Love one another?"  Read again:

"BY THIS WE KNOW THAT WE LOVE THE CHILDREN OF GOD, WHEN WE LOVE GOD AND OBEY HIS COMMANDMENTS. FOR THIS IS THE LOVE OF GOD, THAT WE KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS."  (I John 5:3)

Real love is to keep the word of God. It is impossible to love people and encourage them in their sin. That is an oxymoron. The church has allowed the world system to dictate hate under the guise of love: "Thou shalt agree with and comfort those in sin and rebellion to my word, therefore insuring they will be lost for eternity?"  Insanity!  Real Love is not based on moral compromise that ignores or denies the word of God, and keeps the eternal soul bound forever.  Repentance is beautiful.  It is love at it finest. It says, no matter how deep or dark the sin, God has a cure!  Repent - change to God's ways and live!

For all of us it is either Exodus from sin, or life in the Inferno!  And that is great news, because it is TRUTH!
