Is the truth twisted the truth at all?
So whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, for him it is sin.
Psalm 34:12-13
What man is there who desires life
and loves many days, that he may see good?
Keep your tongue from evil
and your lips from speaking deceit.
2 Corinthians 4 4-8
The Light of the Gospel
Therefore, having this ministry by the mercy of God, we do not lose heart. But we have renounced disgraceful, underhanded ways. We refuse to practice cunning or to tamper with God's word, but by the open statement of the truth we would commend ourselves to everyone's conscience in the sight of God. And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled only to those who are perishing. In their case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. For what we proclaim is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, with ourselves as your servants[b] for Jesus' sake. For God, who said, "Let light shine out of darkness," has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us. We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair;
Hebrews 3:13
But exhort one another every day, as long as it is called "today," that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.
More than a small amount of discussion on the issues arising from the movie "The End of the Spear". In discussing the matter the issue seems to constantly come down to two facets. One, should an actively homosexual actor have been cast to play the lead role? Secondly, what is the role of the Gospel in this film? To the first let me say that if Chad Allen was not using the film to act as a springboard in promoting the homosexual lifestyle then I wouldn't care in the least what his particular lifestyle was. My reasoning works like this: The unregenerate are dead in their sins and trespasses. The duty of the regenerate believer to the unregenerate is two fold. First and foremost the regenerate is to espouse the Gospel. The second is that the regenerate should be a means of common grace to the unregenerate the relationship between the two is such that the second flows from the first so much that it is more of a 1a and not a 2
