We are in full swing into another year filled with God hating, homosexuality promoting, PRIDE parades and festivals which are kicked off in the month of June.
I find a continuing idea among Christians to be especially grieving. Almost every social media thread regarding those preachers that are going out into these filthy events will contain comments along the lines of why bother? They will include the ideas these homosexuals are reprobates, and you are simply casting your pearls before swine. So, I want to answer these foolish ideas with some of my observations of what I have experienced in going there and how the Bible relates to these outreaches.
Firstly, these events are filled with children, youth, and young adults many who have no idea that these things they are being taught are sinful and condemnatory. Many are being sexually abused by the ‘parents’ before, during, and after these public displays of lewdness and sexual predation. Don’t you care to try and reach them before they become ‘reprobates’ if that idea homosexuals you are believing and communicating is true?
Secondly, reprobation is a process unto death. Either God has given you over to your sin before you die, or you are in the process of resisting the Holy Spirit unto condemnation until your death. A question I have for you is can a Christian who is not living the LGBTQP life be reprobated? Let’s see what the Bible says.
2 Cor 13:5 Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?
Wait a minute! A Christian believer if he fails to examine himself, according to the Bible, may fail and become reprobate? That’s what God’s Word says folks!
If we are careful how we examine Rom 1 we will realize that starting in vs 18 that God is angry with all sin, all ungodliness, and wretched depravity of mankind. Who hold Jesus, who is the Truth, as not being correct or righteous. This is the start of every creature who grows into these monsters of iniquity, called ‘sinners’. This is the start of reprobation. God has given all mankind a period of probation on this earth to seek after Him. many things and evidences of Himself that He may be found. He is not far from any one of us. Acts 17:26-28. It is right in front of them if they would simply look to Him and them; creation, history, the Bible, faithful Christian witnesses, conscience, the moral law, the light of men, etc. I consider at a minimum that all believers are in a period of probation. Meaning that God the Judge has forgiven us based on what Jesus did at the cross. Now, to willingly trample in that mercy will bring condemnation and possible reprobation for even the believer, if they will not repent!
Rom 1:18-25 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; 19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. 20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: 21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. 24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: 25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
Thirdly, the whole idea of not casting your pearls before swine is communicated by Christians who usually don’t share their faith verbally, and publicly with any others. I think this is a serious error in Christendom. If this idea were true we shouldn’t share our faith with any sinner swine at all. Please read this carefully, the swine are the proud in heart, the good ground is the humble heart. So we don’t share the pearl or good news of our faith with the prideful swine sinner. But, if the swine humbles themselves under the preaching or the witness, then we give them the grace of God. Well, this idea does not just apply to the homosexual community but the human community who is living in rebellion to God. God is impartial. He hates partiality. I often will say when preaching to this generation of homosexuals and approvers that God is an equal opportunity condemner.
James 4:6 “But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.”
But, wait a minute preacher this is a PRIDE event! Sure it is, but that does not mean that God’s Word can not crush that pride in an individual or perhaps a whole crowd of sinful people. God’s Word is like a hammer, and it does not return void. So, though like Lot I am vexed by neo Sodom & Gomorrah called America. But Lord willing, I want to stay the course and preach as Noah did until God calls me home via the ark of His Son Jesus Christ.
Can you tell which one is which?
These are indeed, not unlike in the days of Noah. Scoffers, mockers, lustful people seek to gain pleasure. But as Christians, we are COMMANDED to warn them of the wrath to come. The reality is that some will resist the Holy Spirit until they take their last breath. But others, whose consciences aren’t quite seared, will listen and allow God to speak to their heart. The redemption of even one soul is always worth the effort.
Amen, great thoughts Hannah. WE want them to be saved!
I CAN SEE YOU JUST WROTE THIS IN REACTION TO THE VIDEO I SENT YOU. I JUST WATCHED THE CHAOTIC INCIDENT IN TORONTO. I MADE SEVERAL COMMENTS ON THAT YOUTUBE VIDEO THAT I STILL ABIDE BY. I AM READING THIS NOW AND WILL TAKE IT INTO ACCOUNT BECAUSE I RESPECT YOU AND YOUR WORK FOR THE LORD. I SEE THAT JUST BECAUSE I AM NOT CALLED NOR EQUIPPED TO BRING THE GOSPEL TO SUCH ANGRY HOSTILE CHRIST HATERS PERVERTED IN LUSTFUL DESIRES, DOES NOT MEAN THAT NO ONE ELSE IS! I AM UTTERLY AMAZED AT HOW GOD EQUIPS AND CALLS VARIOUS PEOPLE INTO VARIOUS TYPES OF METHODS, STYLES AND PEOPLE GROUPS TO BRING THE GOSPEL TO. I HAVE OBSERVED A MYRIAD OF STYLES AND METHODS ON FB OVER THE YEARS. EACH WILL BE REWARDED IN ACCORDANCE TO THE FULFILLMENT OF THEIR CALLINGS.
Bro Steven, it seems you are presuming too much. I wrote this article as I stated within it because, “I find a continuing idea among Christians to be especially grieving. Almost every social media thread regarding those preachers that are going out into these filthy events will contain comments along the lines of why bother? They will include the ideas these homosexuals are reprobates, and you are simply casting your pearls before swine.” I did not write this in reaction to a video you sent me. But, I do remember your comment and those of many others, “Why bother?” or something along similar lines which I did include in the article.
In your comments above it seems you have changed your thinking so that some Christians, who are equipped can do this ministry. My response to that idea is that God called us to preach unto the whole world, which would include Sodom, Gomorrah, etc
God bless you.
We need more street preachers to stand up for the way of god in sexuality we have the LGBT community force there sin on others we need more preachers to stand up for god he said man and women the world can disagree all they want but on judgement day there options will not matter to God so the unloving thing would be not to warn them that they are on there way to hell
Amen!
Amen brother I preached at the sodomite parade last weekend and to my disgust a man from my own church told my I should not cast the pearls before the swine. It is a poor excuse for weak Christian’s to do nothing in America
Exactly right brother, amen! Hey be patient with your brother and share this article with him! When you share it make sure you ask him if the two of you can discuss it after a few days so he can digest it. God bless you as you seek to bring Jesus glory and wake up the church, hallelujah!
