Change of Heart

Globally right now everyone is celebrating PRIDE month. As a Christian, I don’t support it, but I try to put some helpful articles on my blog or on social media. I hope that someone would read/watch/listen and would come to saving faith in Christ.

“How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching?” Romans 10:14

You can read Becket Cook’s story of how God saved him from his sin and gave him a new identity in Christ. He used to be “gay” but now he is a child of God. In this video, he is talking to his sister-in-law who prayed for him for many years, that one day he would repent of his sin and come to Christ. I hope you are encouraged to see that it is only God who can remove the heart of stone and give us a heart of flesh.

Deny Yourself

Even as Pride month comes to an end, it seemed appropriate to share this sermon from a person who struggled with homosexuality. Sam Allberry addresses the question of sexuality and its association with sin and what Jesus has to say about it.

A few statements he made on sexual brokenness stayed back with me and I quote, ” In every area of life, we are disordered and broken, which means that every single one of us is broken in our sexuality. All of us have sexual desires that in one way or another are disordered. If I can put it this way, there is no one who is straight. All of us are skewed. Some of us are skewed in a same-sex attraction kind of way. Some of us are skewed in an opposite-sex attraction kind of way. You may be attracted to men. You may be attracted to women. You may be attracted to both, but all of us are broken in this area of life.“

We are all tainted and broken, but to be reminded that Jesus came to save the broken and sick. His death on the cross and His victory over sin, was the proof of his unconditional love for sinners like us. It was encouragement to be reminded of this truth and that it is worth denying yourself and following Jesus.
