Romans 1:24-25

Battle Plan for Victory over Temptations to Sexual Lust
1. Acknowledge sexual lusts exist in us. Prov. 28:13; Prov. 4:14, 15
2. Confess the sin of breaking the 7th and 8th commandments. Matt. 5:28
3. Know your Target. Not porn, naked, masturbation, lust via looking
4. Aim at the Heart not others. Adam blamed Eve ….(Gen. 3:12, 13) the problem is our own heart (Mark 7:14-23) “Adult consent” does not define what is permissible
5. God’s Word not our “will power” is the primary tool for victory. Matt. 26:41; Ps. 119:9-11; James 1:21; Rom. 13:12-14
a.	Matthew 5:29-30 
b.	Matthew 5:8 
c.	1 Cor. 6:19, 20 
d.	2 Corinthians 5:17 
e.	Galatians 6:7 
f.	Hebrews 2:18 
g.	Hebrews 10:24-25

j.	Lamentations 3:25 
6. The Lord’s Supper. 1 Cor. 11:27-32
7. Marriage. Prov. 5:15-20; 1 Cor. 7:2-9
8. Prayer. Matt. 17:21
9. Prudence. Prov. 14:16

6/9/19 - The Lie of Pornography (Romans 1:24-25) - Dr. David Rountree

Sermon by Dr. David Rountree on 6/16/19 at New Covenant Church in Anderson, SC.

Scripture: Romans 1:26-27

The Lie: Rom. 1:26-27

Ways God Describes LGBTQ Living, outside of Romans 1
•	Gen. 18:20; 19:4-7, 24, 25
•	Lev. 18:22; 20:13 
•	Jude 7 
•	Gen. 2:18, 20
•	1 Tim. 1:8-10 
•	1 Cor. 6:9-11

What my LGBTQ Friends say: 
1. God punished Sodom for inhospitality not homosexuality—Gen. 19:5
2. The “Strange flesh” is not LGBTQ but sex with angels—Jude 7; 2 Peter 2:4-10; Rom. 1:26, 27. 
3. The Old Testament laws against same-sex activity in Lev. 18:22 and 20:13 were abrogated with the other ceremonial laws at the time of Christ. 
4. The word “natural” in Romans 1:26-27 is subjective. 

Answering Questions for LGBTQ Family & Friends
1.	Will LGBTQ “lovers of God” inherit heaven? – Matt. 7:22, 23; John 14:15; 1 John 5:3; 2:4; Eph. 5:5; 1 Cor. 6:9-11.
2.	How do we live with LGBTQ family and friends?— Rom. 2:1-4; 2 Tim. 2:22-26; Isa. 5:20, 24. We trust, love, pray, share Christ, weep.
3.	Is there any hope a LGBTQ person will change?  Eph. 2:12; 1 Cor. 6:9-11. 
4.	Are LGBTQ desires a force beyond their control?  – Matt. 1:23; Eph. 2: 1-5. 
5.	What if we have same-sex attractions? – 1 Cor. 10:31; Luke 9:23; Gal. 5:16-26.
