True Christian Love: Take a Stand - Actions
1 – Christians
need to recognize the heresy of liberal “love” theology and refute the false
doctrine at every opportunity. God’s
revelation on love as it applies to Human
Sexuality is unambiguous. The Law does not permit homosexual
relations, pre-marital or extra-marital heterosexual relations; nor does it continence
so-called “free-love relations” under any circumstance. Believers need to separate from people,
congregations, churches and denominations that proselytize a re-imaged Christ
within a neo-gospel of liberal “love” theology.
2 – Believers need to
study what Exodus International and other homosexual deliverance ministries are
achieving in Christ. It is also
worthwhile to study what psychologists are saying and achieving in the area or
sexual re-orientation. We need to promote
the testimonies of people like Mike Ensley - “True Love Changes You: How Jesus
Christ Loved Me Out of Homosexuality,” to exalt Jesus Christ and make clear His
will and the power of His grace.
Believers need to pray for Exodus International. We need to support Exodus and similar
ministries financially. Congregations
need to affiliate with Exodus and replicate a loving outreach to
homosexuals in their community. True Christian love is expressed by making
our neighbours aware of the authentic Gospel of Jesus Christ and by
praying that God might grant them the salvation and sanctification grace given
you and me.
3 - Believers need to see the liberal-orthodox theology
struggle within Canadian Christendom for what it is, a battle over what is professed
to be righteous and what is declared wrong.
The vast majority of the orthodox need to recognize their own ambivalence
towards this struggle and take ownership of the result - religious liberalism reached
the point where Canada is now a professed homosexist state. God’s kingdom is not a pluralistic heaven
populated by the orthodox, liberals and the lukewarm. Deceivers (John 8:43-45) have no fellowship
with righteousness and the lukewarm make Christ sick (Revelation 3:15-16).
4 – Believers need to elevate The Law as the standard for Christian conduct, while concurrently
evangelizing the Gospel of Jesus Christ for achieving victory over
unrighteousness. In this era of
post-modernity and unprecedented technological advance, Canadian Christendom
needs an augmented (more detailed and current) statement of beliefs. There is a crying need for a unified
declaration of the Christian Worldview.
To ignore and fail to address this need will only serve the enemy. The status quo witness within the Body of Canadian
believers is an unqualified failure.
Surely the status quo is an untenable expression of true Christian love.
5 – We long for the spiritual unction of the
Early Church, but we fail to recognize that back then converts to Christianity professed
their faith with immediate risk of death (martyrdom). Half-hearted or lukewarm conversions were a
rarity. However, nowadays cheap grace is
manifest everywhere. We proselytize the
lost with the more saleable notion of a loving God and His rewards in heaven
over the more complete truth – a holy God and the ever imminent Day of Judgment. Converts are proselytized, not along a path
of unrighteous awareness, genuine sinful conviction and heartfelt repentance; but
rather along a path liberally illuminated with love. A path so slick that souls are frequently declared
saved without the shedding of a tear, without getting up from the pew, with just
the raising of a hand, optimally with the remainder of the fellowship not
looking. Elsewhere, the path is so slick
that just parental initiative to have their infants baptized is professed to be
enough to save souls. The very idea of a
pastor and not the Holy Spirit giving the assurance is itself evidence of
organized religion over anointed conversion.
Still others in our fellowship contend that Christ’s sacrifice paid the
price once, for all time, for everyone. Conversion
in this case is a less important point. True Christian love is not expressed in
half truths. Marketing the Gospel of Jesus
Christ solely under the consolation of eternal salvation is wrong. Jesus Christ is also our Lord. There are Laws
and Christ has not abolished them (Matthew 5:17-18). What will be a major factor in determining whether
Canada gets the needed Christian revival is the extent to which you choose to love the Lord thy God with
all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all
thy mind (Luke 10:27). Anything less is
not true Christian love.
