Paul Ryan endorses homosexual adoption while the Russian president Vladimir Putin doesn't. Then again, we have a King James Version advocate commending same-sex marriage. And Barna calls anybody who stands against those who reject Christ's values a hypocrite! Kevin Swanson sorts through this big ol' mess and defines the heart problem that lies at the root of the unraveling of the faith in the 21st century.

Great Sermon! Rom 1:27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
Rom 1:28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
Rom 1:29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
Rom 1:30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
Rom 1:31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
Rom 1:32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
very clear that Gods values did not change about this subject.
Anyway thanks for the sermon, as a Body of Christ church we have different stances on some issues but this was needed and appreciated.
Best to you all

Great Sermon! sorry ran out of room.... do not condemn others who use other versions. We just compare them to the KJV and where we see an issue we go with the KJV.
Now... I hoped to hear you speak on Romans chapter 1. This truly does condemn gay marraiges and all things homosexual making them understand the things they do are worthy of death....
without excuse:
Rom 1:21 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.
Rom 1:22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
Rom 1:23 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.
Rom 1:24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
Rom 1:25 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.
Rom 1:26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
Rom 1:27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one

Great Sermon! I think your issues with homosexuality are right on. I would add however a few things. 1. Jesus said "I have followed my fathers commandments ..." then he said something very important... Like I followed my fathers commandments I want you to follow my COMMANDMENT.. one commandment not the law.... that one commandment... love one another as I have loved you... WHen taking this into consideration and also everything He gave to Paul to give to us like Romans chapter 4 we learn that as far as being made right with GOd we are not under the law.... does this mean that God's law is void? No it is there to show us the moral values of God and is the measuring stick for us to understand how very short we fall from that set of values... hence we need a savior. I always am very careful to make sure my congregation understands these things. Salvation todya is not about following the law it is about resting in the one who did it for us.. the Lord God Christ Jesus. since we were and still are not able to be sin free this is an ongoing thing hence Romans chapter 8 final 2 verses and Acts 13:38,39. All things means all things friends....
I am not telling you Homosexuality is correct and I certainly am one of those KJV only guys for very real reasons. However I do not condemn those that use ot

Well said, pastor!!!!!!! You are brave. When I saw this title, I felt amazed because these days it is rare to listen to the Truth. So many so-called "believers" are deceiving others and themselves as well. They are ignoring God's words, and simply do not care what God actually said(and still says). Instead, they are trying to satisfy people.
Thank you pastor! please keep going on!
We are all imperfect, but as we confess our sins and try to choose the righteous road, God's way, then we all will His enter the Kingdom.
However, if we insist the crooked way is the right one, we cannot be forgiven and delivered.
May the Lord forgive all of us and lead us to his righteousness!

Great Sermon! ooops spoke too soon!!
its amazing that kjv only pastor is pro homosexual marriage!! this is scary, but that pastor who is 30 years old is NOT THAT WAY!! I know he's fighting upstream as you guys are, pray for Pastor Steven Anderson!!

Great Sermon! Your sons is RIGHT!! this happens when the family is destroyed--and homosexuality will not stop, pedophilia may be next....its the MEN who are responsible to GOD HIMSELF.. physically it only takes 30-40 seconds to become a father, and 18+ years to become a mother. Kids are ALWAYS with mom: and when dad isnt there, the kids can be confused sexually. Even in the old days, there were enough marriages to show kids how to be. Boys will become men and girls will become women. When women allow lots of men to live with them WITHOUT MARRIAGE, kids can and WILL become confused sexually.
Maybe, since the weather and the earth is having trouble, COULD IT BE FROM BROKEN HOMES!? it reminds me of the last verse in the old testament Malachi 4:6--striking the EARTH WITH A CURSE
iTS not all bad: there is pastor in Tempe AZ who is only 30 years old and completely OLD FASHIONED KJV only, and everything that goes with it..Pastor Steven Anderson. He is also on youtube as sanderson1611

Great Sermon! Im sooo disappointed at Paul Ryan. I actually voted for 'him' instead of the Mormon.
A big shock!!!!

Great Sermon! Not "Rhino" but RINO (Republican In Name Only). RINOs are usually a few years or, in this case, months behind their evolving Democrat counterparts. If you want Democrat-lite, vote Republican. If you want the real McCoy vote Democrat.
