There are different stages to sin. One of the dangers about the sin of fornication is that it's a door-opening type of sin. When a person is a fornicator it makes it easy for them to commit adultery once they get married.

So what began with one sin has easily morphed into two sins.

Once fornication and adultery start becoming the norm, it's only a matter of time before other more debased types of sexual sin set in. Like homosexuality, lesbianism, bisexuality, bestiality, etc.

The final stage of sin right before judgment typically falls is homosexuality. Once homosexuality becomes normalized in society - expect to see God step in via divine judgment to set things right again.

It's not that God favors fornication or adultery over homosexuality. That's not the case at all. God actually despises those sins too.

"Let marriage be held in honor by all, and the bed undefiled: but fornicators and adulterers God will judge." Hebrews 13:4

However, same-sex attraction is pretty much the bottom of the slippery slope for any society. Name me ONE society that has existed successfully once same sex attraction became the norm. I'll wait...

Before you pop a blood vessel thinking too hard, let me stop you now. Such a society doesn't exist - precisely because as soon as that particular sin pops up, God starts the countdown towards the end of that civilization.

What do you think all these crazy storms, floods, tornadoes, threats of volcanic eruption and other 'freak' weather phenomena have been about? Should we be surprised that since we've been acting like a bunch of freaks, God has unleashed freakish weather against us?

"The LORD is slow to get angry, but his power is great, and he never lets the guilty go unpunished. He displays his power in the whirlwind and the storm. The billowing clouds are the dust beneath his feet." Nahum 1:3

Whirlwinds, storms and billowing clouds are indicative of tornadoes, hurricanes and severe weather. Let's continue:

"From the LORD of hosts you will be punished with thunder and earthquake and loud noise, With whirlwind and tempest and the flame of a consuming fire." Isaiah 29:6

This is indicative not only of severe weather like tornadoes and hurricanes - but also of earthquakes, wildfires and volcanic eruptions!

The purpose of this post is to inform you, that NOW is the time for you to stop your sinning, quit your fornication, adulteries and homosexual activity - and turn to God with all your heart.

People take God for a joke, until God bangs His hammer down. Then the joke's on them! The bible tells us that God is slow to anger...but that doesn't mean He never gets angry.

"It is a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of the living God." Hebrews 10:31

If you have a hard time controlling your sinful sexual urges, ask Christ to help you. He stands ready to forgive and to assist, if we'll just sincerely ask Him to. Do not scoff at God or His grace. His mercy may endure forever to those who've obtained His mercy - but His grace has a shelf life!

"As God’s fellow workers, we urge you not to receive God’s grace in vain. For He says: “In the time of favor I heard you, and in the day of salvation I helped you.” Behold, now is the time of favor; now is the day of salvation!" 2 Corinthians 6:1-2

May this message find a listening ear and a hungry heart today. And if you're not too ashamed of Jesus Christ or His gospel, don't forget to share this post. Perhaps someone in your circle of influence might end up getting saved out of it.

Whoever has ears to hear, let them hear. God bless.
