In the first Chapter of Romans, Paul tells us that God gave over some folks
to their passions, sins and lusts. It must be understood, that these people
knew God” (Rom 1:21), but they didn’t honor Him, nor acknowledge Him as God.
In other words, they were living as fools.
I believe that is a powerful message for the church today. We don’t want to
be those that God said honor Him with their lips only. We want to be a
church/people that honors Him with our whole heart and mind. God gave these
people described in Romans 1, over to their sins because they “chose” the
passing pleasures of sin over God Himself. They exchanged the truth for a
lie he tells us in v25.
We hear a lot of what is being espoused as “gospel” from our pulpits today.
We have many who are guilty as those in the letter to the Galatians of
adding to the Gospel. They would say, “Salvation is found in Christ, but you
have to carry the right translation, or you must dress a certain way.” That
is as far out there as the health, wealth, and prosperity gospels that many
are preaching today. Be on guard! Anyone who adds man-made rules, or teaches
any other gospel than the One, True Gospel is a false teacher!
Blessings!
