Would Jesus Discriminate? YES!
by Pastor Jim BrownHorizon Christian Fellowship
There are many billboards up around Indy currently that seek to promulgate an "enlightened" gospel...a "new" Jesus and subsequently a "new" Christianity.
The emerging church organization behind this blasphemous twisting of God's Word will one day face the author of this Word -- He who holds His Word in higher esteem than His own Name (Psalm 138:2 / 2Tim 3:16-17) - and I pray that God has mercy on all who have become so deceived.
The question that must be addressed in relation to not only these billboards but to all of life is this:
"Would Jesus discrimate?"
To this I answer a resounding "YES"! But the real question is discriminate against "what"?...Against SIN!
Is telling a LIE any less a sin than murder? Is not claiming all of your income on your taxes any less a sin than adultery?
What does Jesus discriminate against? The proud, the unrepentant and all who choose to reject the only begotten Son as their Lord and Savior (Pro 6:16-18 / John 3:16-18).
Grace is getting what we don't deserve and none of us deserve to go to Heaven. But, because God loves us SOOOO incredibly much, He made a way for us to go...if we will simply HUMBLE ourselves before Him, confess our sin and repent (Matt 4:17 / 1John 1:9) .
Repentance requires a 180 degree change in our lives -- it demands that we turn away from our sinful lifestyles and yield ourselves to the Holy Spirit of Promise who will, in fact, lead us to living in obedience to the living Word -- Jesus (Rom 6:13 / John 1:1, 14).
There is no doubt about it -- sin is sin and we must turn away from it. This includes the lying, stealing, adultery, covetousness, idolatry and yes - homosexuality. This twisting of the scripture to justify a sinful lifestyle is purely a result of idolatry -- worshipping what they want to believe instead of what God tells us to believe (Rom 1:22-32).
Pray with me for the salvation and repentance of all who seek to justify their sin in they eyes of man when the judgement will come from the Most High God...
