A Narrow Path: "Welcoming But Not Affirming"
The Incident
When God's people live with the world's values
regular life begins to contain unimaginable evil
(including misogamy, sexual perversions, and horrible violence.
(19:1-30)
(The Israelites look like the Canaanites and Sodom and Gomorrah is eclipsed by Israel)[God's people look just like the world and Las Vegas is eclipse by Sunday Morning]
The Overreaction
Eventually God allows His people to destroy themselves
by turning them over to their own devices.
(20:1-48)
The Aftermath
Sometimes you can step over a line of moral decay
and only the grace of God and His larger purposes can save you.
(21:1-25)
While God may allow His people to suffer
the consequences of their own foolish decisions
(often orchestrating them Himself)
He will always graciously accomplish His own redemptive purposes.
Next Steps
• Truth: God's people can do horrible things, but not without consequences.
• Warning: There is a limit to the patience of God.
• Challenge: Live a counter cultural life of fidelity to God and love of others.
