Same sex marriage is wrong.
 
     I have been ask what will I do when someone come up and wants me to marriage them, being of same sex. I have pray about this and talk it over with myself. The question is how far will I stand up for God. I preach that I stand on God's word, the King James Bible. So I have to do as it tell me to.
     2timothy 3:1-4
     1) This I know also, that in the last days perilous time shall come.
     2) For men shall be loves of their own selves, covetous, boaster, proud, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
     3) With out natural affection, truce breaker, false accuser, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
     4) Traitors, heady, highminded, Lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God;
 
Romans 1:24
     24) Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lust of their own hearts, to dishonor their own bodies between themselves.
 
     Now I stand on the word of God, marriage between same sex people is wrong. So I cannot marriage them. I can not see how other Christians go along with it. When you accept Jesus Christ in your heart, you are also accepting to follow God's word.
 
Jude 7)
     Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set foth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.
 
     Just because you say are a Christian, and go to God's house, do many good works, does not make you follower of God. A true follower read and follows God word. I agree no one can do it to the letter, but you will know from the Holy Spirit in you that you are doing something wrong.
     Please take this time now and pray for God to search your heart for the truth of His word, and what and where you are going as you follow our Lord Jesus Christ.

Where is your Leader, leading you?
 
     Today I would like to talk to you about some of the so called leaders we have in our churches out there. To get a better idea on what a leader should be like. To start you need to read Titus; it's is a short book, only 3 chapter, but full of do's and don'ts.
     I believe everything in the King James Bible, the whole thing, so if it's in there, it has to be true. Leaders are to preach God's word. (No more and No less). In this book there are rules for all the leaders of God to follow by. No matter if you call yourself a preach, reverend, minister, or another title you or others have gave you. We are to stick to only what's in the Bible, and act the way it tells us to.
     As a leader we have a special responsibility to lead, teach, help, and keep people close to the Lord Jesus Christ. I said we have a special responsibility to others, Not that any leader is special. For Jesus Christ told us in the bible, we are servants to others.
     Because we are put in that position, I believe God will judge us harder. For if we teach to gratified ourselves. We are leading people away from God. We who are preaching must remember God and Jesus first, then The people, then we are last.
     Just as in a family, the Dad is head of the house, but being the head means, you have to make sure all the rest in that house hold are taken care of. So you see, you end up being the servant of the members of the house hold.
     It is up to you to keep your leader on track too. Study the Bible, take notes of what he tells you, then double check him. If you have questions ask him, he should be more then happy to answer them. I know I am, it show me there are people listening. Plus it make me stay on track with the Bible, knowing that people are watching and taking notes.
     It is getting hard to find good leader that preach and follow the King James Bible. With all the new versions out there, but if your preacher can't get you to understand the bible, or you find he is leading you somewhere else, it is time find a better preacher. You only have one life, don't blow it on someone who make you feel good about yourself, and don't show you your mistakes.
     Jesus Christ is the only way to God. There is no other way to be saved. No preacher, or leader can save you, they can only help you find the way to God. So if you think you have a special preacher of leader of your church, great, but if he's not leading you to God through Jesus Christ. He is wrong, and leading you to Hell, so he not so special after all.
