Pick One

(1Ki 18:21 KJV) And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions? if the LORD be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word.
 
Today, too many Christians are frozen by indecision. We want both: a ticket to Heaven and the pleasure of fulfilling our own fleshly desires. Satan has convinced usto compromise ourvalues little by little, until Christians are indistiguishable from the Lost.
 
For example, according to an article published by Barna Group, 38 % of Christians believe that viewing pornography is morally acceptable, along with homosexuality (30%) and sexual relations with someone other than their spouse (42%).
 
We CANNOT profess to be God-fearing, Bible-believing Christians if we refuse to accept what the Bible and God have to say about such important issues!
 
With statistics like this, we still wonder why our country is going to Hell in a handbasket. A nation is made up of families, and families are made up of individuals, and apparently, those individuals can't seem to make up their mind about what they want.
 
Another survey by Barna Group said that four out of ten homosexuals claimed to be a christian, while 27% would qualify as a "Born-Again Christian".
 
Before we judge them too harshly however, let's look at another statistic.
 
4 out of 10 pastors looked at porn, today (As quoted by XXXChurch.)
 
The same percentage of "christian" homosexuals is the same percentage of pastors currently in bondage to pornography.
 
Clearly, we have a problem.
 
Jesus said it best.
(Mat 6:24 KJV) No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.


Now, yes, He is talking about money, but the concept can be applied to every aspect of our lives.

We CANNOT serve two masters, whether that master is Deviant Sexual Behavior (including, but not limited to the viewing of pornography, exhibitionism, voyeurism, homosexuality, and adultery), or Alchohol, or Drugs, or Money, or maybe even Television.

(Jas 1:8 KJV) A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.

(Rev 3:15 KJV) I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
(Rev 3:16 KJV) So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.

It is time, my friends, my fellow brothers and sisters. Whether you are in bondage to pornography, alchohol, drugs, or homosexuality, it is time to Choose!

(Joshua 24:15 KJV) ...Choose you this day whom ye will serve...but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.
