Ponder this question for a moment.

What's the inevitable result when an entire civilization suppresses the truth about God?

Well, maybe the answer is self-evident.

Just look around. Our times are marked by the outcomes is self-evident. Just look around.

Our times are marked by the outcomes of unbridled sin.

Today, on Insight for Living, Chuck Swindall points to the Bible's most vivid portrayal of

human depravity.

This picture doesn't leave any room for self-righteousness.

It's a humiliating depiction of selfish choices. Let's pick up our study

where we left off on Friday's program. Teaching from Romans chapter one, Chuck titled his message,

Cinerama in Panorama. Let me make two closing comments before we go on to another subject first.

To view lesbianism and homosexuality as anything but sinful is to remove any hope from the ability to recover.

Christians know that sin and its effect can be dealt with

because God has said so in the scriptures.

And Christ died to overcome sin.

So when sin is mentioned, there is real hope.

Second comment I want to make.

It is unbiblical, inaccurate, and grossly unkind to say God hates lesbians and

homosexuals. Don't do that. It's terribly unchristian. No more than he hates the thief,

or he hates the murderer, or he hates the gossip.

We do the hating, and thereby block many opportunities to win the hearts and minds of those trapped in the sin.

May I return to my friend Ray?
