By Pastor Lawrence Jackson

Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bring forth death.
James 1:15 KJV

     When the desire of the soul conceives, it gives birth to sin, and sin , when it is fully matured,
brings forth death.  The desire of this old nature  of ours joins with the outward temptation that faces us and thus becomes sin.
     Temptation in itself is not sin.  We all have an evil nature.  We all have been tempted to do evil; everyone has a weakness in the flesh.  One person may be an alcoholic another may be a gossip.  Both are of the flesh; both come from within.
     “Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin” There can never be a stillbirth.  When that evil thought in the heart is joined to the outward temptation, there is a birth – a birth of sin.
     For the believer this means that when sin is born in your life, when it becomes an action, your fellowship with God is broken.  There is a separation.  The tragedy today is people think they can get by with sin.  Sin will bring forth separation of fellowship with God if you are His child, and He will judge you for it unless you judge yourself.
    You cannot have fellowship with and permit sin continually to happen in your life.  And when you are tempted to sin, remember sin always carry with a serious.  Consider these devastating consequences of sin:
 (1) Sin will always take you father than you wanted to go. 
(2) Sin will always keep you longer than you wanted to stay and
(3) Sin will always cost you more than you were willing to pay.  Now, ask yourself, am I willing to accept these consequences for my choice to sin?

Now lets look at this also on Wednesday, April 29 the House passed the Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act of 2009. A vote in the Senate is imminent and if passed, it will be signed into law by President Obama. Under this law the investigation and prosecution of an offense against a transvestite would be given priority over a similar crime committed against a child or senior citizen. It will also be used to persecute any Christian whose public actions reflect their faith.

This bill adds protections based on “gender identity” and “sexual orientation.” Liberals in the House have specifically blocked attempts to define these terms. According to the American Psychiatric Association, “sexual orientation” includes 547 sexual deviances in their manual of clinical psychoses. This includes pedophilia and several other psychoses that you have never heard of. We need Leadership That understands Bible Prophecy.
