I hear there are contentions among you. You have heard it said: Abortion is a convenience for you. I say murder for your convenience is a sin. You have heard it said: Sexual immorality is acceptable. I say to you, that lifestyle is not allowed in my kingdom. You have heard it said: A woman should teach a man and lead the church. I say to you, Paul has spoke directly to you, and you should listen. You have heard it said: There is more than one way into my kingdom. I say to you, that is a lie from the pit of hell. You have heard it said: The culture is more important than my Word. I say to you, the culture calls to you like the serpent did to Eve; the end will be the same. You have heard it said: Peace at any price. I say to you, obedience to my Word has never brought peace for everyone. You have heard it said: We have a new vision for the church. I say to you, I have established the vision for my church, given direct instructions and written it down. You have heard it said: You can be your own person. I say to you, the way is narrow. But you can choose your eternal destiny.
