The Sin-Free Church
Welcome. Glad you could join us today. Let us pray. "Heavenly Father, Lord God, all the praise and glory be to You. As we come before You today, we pray that You give us eyes to see, ears to hear, and a spirit to receive Your Truth and Your Revelation. May we be able to discern the Truth from sin and may Your Word feed our spirit as the food You so abundantly bless us with feeds our bodies. May we know the Truth even more today than we ever have. We ask this in Your holy name, Amen!"
A "Sin-free church." Is there such a thing? Sadly, yes. There are a growing number of churches that refuse to teach about sin. Here are some examples of what I would call a "Sin-Free Church."
One that ignores sin.
"Oh heavenly Father, Lord God. I am a sinner. I know this. I know there is nothing I can do to change that. But I know you can. I accept Yeshua's sacrifice for me. I believed He rose from the dead. I repent my sins. Please send the Spirit of Adoption into my life. Help me to get to know the real you. Save me. Please. In the name of Yeshua, Amen!"
That's it. It is that simple. Now go tell someone what you have just done. "That if you shall confess with your mouth the Lord Yeshua, and shalt believe in your heart that God hath raised him from the dead, You shall be saved." Romans 10:9. You need to find a Church that God leads you to and be baptized the way Jesus said to be. You are now a Child of God. A New Creature. You "have put off the old man with his deeds, and have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him."Colossians 3:10

May the comfort of the Holy Ghost, and the peace of our Lord Yeshua, be with you all. May God bless you and be with you always.
Until next time, be blessed, be a blessing, and Yeshua is Lord!
One that ignores sin.
One that denies sin.
One that glorifies sin.
Of course, we think the last is far worse than the others, but that is not true. Let’s take these one at a time.
One that ignores sin.
Have you ever been to a church that gives you half a message? God loves you. He created you. He wants nothing but the best for you. You are good. You are loved. You are perfect the way that the loving God made you. Think of people like Joel Osteen. He is not the only one. Sadly, there are many, many more, and also sadly, it is a growing trend: preachers who get in the pulpit and do nothing but give you affirmations.
What about sin? They say things like, “Well, I would rather build up and not tear down. I would rather be positive and not negative. I want people to know that there is a loving God and He loves them just how and where they are.”
What if they are in the middle of living their life in sin? After all
One that denies sin.
They claim that sin is not truly sin. We are cautioned about these individuals, as well as those who condone or celebrate sin.
Is it ok to accept Gay people and Transgender people into the church? Of course. As long as you are teaching them the truth and they are trying to repent. Is it ok to accept them into the church and allow them to remain just as they are? NO!. Turn to 1 John 3 starting at verse 4
If your church or the church you are visiting has a Gay Pastor or a Transgender Pastor. Leave. Get up and walk out. Why?
Here is the good news though

“If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us [our] sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.” 1 John 1:8-10Kinda the whole point that Jesus came. Correct? Yeshua, His actual name, came to pay the price for our sins. Why.
“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,” Romans 3:23What is so bad about sin?
“For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 6:23You see, by ignoring sin, you may be allowing someone to continue to live in sin and therefore die in sin and go to Hell. How is this positive? How is this compassionate? True compassion is not holding our tongue and watching people we claim to love go straight to Hell without trying to warn them. Worse than this. It is those who have a church, they have many people who come to the church, yet?

“Woe to those who call evil good and good evil,
who put darkness for light and light for darkness,
who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!” Isaiah 5:20
Why? Because if they call sin good and good sin, they are not of God but of the devil. Homosexuality is a sin. Leviticus 18:1-5, 22-24, 29, Leviticus 20:13, Ezekiel 16:49-51, Romans 1:18-32, just to name a few. Transgenderism is not only a sin but a mental illness as well as a cover for men who want to mess with kids in dressing rooms. Deuteronomy 22:5, 1 Corinthians 6:9-10, and Jude 1:7 are just a few more examples of passages in the Word. Homosexuality is NOT ok. It is not accepted and should never be glorified. Transgenderism is NOT ok. All the other nonsense is that. Nonsense and confusion.
Is it ok to accept Gay people and Transgender people into the church? Of course. As long as you are teaching them the truth and they are trying to repent. Is it ok to accept them into the church and allow them to remain just as they are? NO!. Turn to 1 John 3 starting at verse 4
“Everyone who makes a practice of sinning also practices lawlessness; sin is lawlessness. You know that he appeared in order to take away sins, and in him there is no sin. No one who abides in him keeps on sinning; no one who keeps on sinning has either seen him or known him. Little children, let no one deceive you. Whoever practices righteousness is righteous, as he is righteous.”Just in case you need clarification or simplification. Keep reading.
”Whoever makes a practice of sinning is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil. No one born of God makes a practice of sinning, for God's seed abides in him; and he cannot keep on sinning, because he has been born of God.”
One that glorifies sin.
“By this, it is evident who are the children of God, and who are the children of the devil: whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is the one who does not love his brother.” 1 John 3:4-10The time is coming. I would say it is here. In Second Timothy 3
“But understand this, that in the last days, there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,”Here is where even we, as children of God, must be cautious.
“having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people. For among them are those who creep into households and capture weak women, burdened with sins and led astray by various passions, always learning and never able to arrive at a knowledge of the truth.” 2 Timothy 3:1-7Yeshua called the people who appeared to be holy yet were living in sin, “Tombs.” “Dead inside.”
"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs, which outwardly appear beautiful, but within are full of dead people's bones and all uncleanness. So you also outwardly appear righteous to others, but within you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.” Matthew 23:27-28God will not be mocked. He will not accept something just because we think He should. He does not change with the times and He does not make mistakes. If you were born a female, you are a female. A male, you are a male. He created marriage to be with one man and one woman for life. Anything else is a lie and should never be honored.
Here is the good news though
“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,” 1 Peter 1:3Therefore?
“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.” 2 Corinthians 5:17This does not say, it is all good, just live on, sin on, and God will love you and you will go to Heaven. Does Yeshua, or Jesus forgive sin? Of course. Yet He says “Go and sin no more.” {John 5:14-15, John 8:10-11} In saying, “Go and sin no more,” Jesus was not speaking of sinless perfection. He was warning against a return to sinful lifestyle choices. His words both extended mercy and demanded holiness. Jesus was always the perfect balance of grace and truth.
Sin is real. The end result of sin is death. There is no other option. There is no other choice. Either you repent and live. Or sin and die. It really is, just that simple.
Have you been adopted? If not, say this Prayer. Right now. Wherever you may be, say it in your own words, and do not doubt in your heart. God will hear you. He will send the Spirit of Life to you. Let us Pray.
“Repent therefore, and turn back, that your sins may be blotted out, that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and that he may send the Christ appointed for you, Jesus, whom heaven must receive until the time for restoring all the things about which God spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets long ago.” Act 3:19-21Sin is sin. The devil is real. Hell is a real place that you do not want to go to. Do not waste your time in the wrong church that fails to warn people about their sins. It is like the blind leading the blind.
“Let them alone; they are blind guides. And if the blind lead the blind, both will fall into a pit.” Matthew 15:14Being in the wrong church that covers sin and rejects the truth is not going to save you or help you in any way. God is not even there. Choose not to be there as well.
