5. WHAT IS SEXUAL IMMORALITY ROMANS 1:28-32 28 And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done. 29 They were filled with all manner of unrighteousness, evil, covetousness, malice. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, maliciousness. They are gossips, 30 slanderers, haters of God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, 31 foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless. 32 Though they know God's righteous decree that those who practice such things deserve to die, they not only do them but give approval to those who practice them.

6. WHAT IS SEXUAL IMMORALITY Therefore, Christians can not take any action or offer any statement that approves of ANY sexually immoral behavior without incurring the displeasure and discipline of God. The Christian should respond to the issue of sexual perversion by: 1.Understanding WHY it is perverse 2.Having a heart that “utterly detests and abhors” any perversion (Deut. 7:26) 3.Recognizing that our own heart and mind has been effected by depravity 4.Allowing the resulting humility to produce mercy 5.Using our life to help others and be helped by them to overcome the depravity in our hearts and minds 6.In this context of mercy and grace we must speak the truth of God’s disapproval of these things and we can not ourselves offer approval
