Standing for People?

A church in Texas announced last year that they won’t perform any more weddings until their denomination allows them to marry same-sex couples! The pastor claims her church has chosen “to stand not for issues or principles, but for people.”

But what they’ve really chosen is to stand against the Word of God. They’re placing themselves in direct opposition to God and his Word by celebrating sinful behavior.

Advocating for sin—and trying to help people live a life of sin—isn’t standing for people. It’s really standing against them.

Sin always leads to brokenness and pain. But repentance and the gospel lead to freedom and a new life.
