Politically Incorrect

As some people may know, I am the sort of person who likes to "step on toes." This sort of thing usually causes a bit of trouble for me, but if i can get someone thinking in a different mind set by being crass, then I have done my job. I'm not talking about being vulgar or obscene, but challenging people to think about why they have certain opinions on certain topics. An example of this would be:

Why do people in media, and "famous" people continually press for gay rights? Gays have rights, just like the rest of us. The problem arises when gay people start pressing for marriage rights, or adoption rights. God instituted marriage, and the union was to be between a man and woman, not a man and man, or woman and woman.

This is where I will step on (your) toes. God calls us to love the people committing the sin, but hating the sin itself. So, going back to our example above, I am to love gay people, but hate the sin that they are caught up in. Yes, that's right. You heard me. Homosexuality is a sin. We are to hate it.

This of course is only one example, but the way of thinking can be applied to all areas of life. Pornography, alcoholism, gambling, etc. These are all vices, sins, that the devil uses to distract us from having a right relationship with God. But what about shopping, or watching movies? Are these things sin as well? People are addicted to watching movies and shopping as well. 

It is time to start thinking about the things in our/your lives which distract us from walking wholly with God. It is time to step out of our comfortable rut, and bring awareness to issues that need dealing with. This can all be done in a loving, caring way, showing the Grace of God, and the healing that only he can bring.

P.S. I know that posting this type of article will raise flags. People will respond by saying that I am simply a Homophobe. I will respond right now by telling you this: I am not a homophobe, but WE MUST BEGIN TO SEPARATE THE ISSUE OF THE SIN FROM THE PERSON WHO IS COMMITTING THE SIN. We must show love. God loves the unbeliever who is caught up in sin just as much as he loves the believer who is caught up in sin.
