(Genesis 2:25) And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed. ~~Modern people have turned "nakedness" into a symbol of "sexual openness" and "sexual freedom"! Yesterday I heard a conversation, and I was quite disappointed in a Christian brother! This brother regarded a sister's casual and uninhibited behavior as a trend and progress. Why is there so much "sexual immorality" in the church? Sexual immorality in the church didn't start today; it began in Paul's early church! Christians are not nuns or monks, but Christians must also "avoid suspicion"! Why can't so many church pastors overcome "temptation"? It's because Christians don't understand "avoiding suspicion"! Our church culture is: Brothers serve brothers, sisters serve sisters! It doesn't mean that Christians have the right to engage in promiscuous relationships! Pastors don't have the right to cross the "gender threshold." If Christians don't want to be scorned by the world, we must uphold Christian principles! If Christians don't live up to these principles, how can we say this generation is immoral? Can unmarried brothers and sisters serve God together legitimately? A single pastor can certainly try dating different single Christians of the opposite sex, but can a pastor who has decided to marry still have private contact with other single female members? "Church culture" is not a "culture of immorality"! If a pastor refuses contact with single female members, the church should be happy, not believe the brother who says: "The pastor is old-fashioned and narrow-minded!" If a pastor lacks the character and principles of a pastor, it's a tragedy for the church! Nakedness between husband and wife is indeed not shameful in any generation. But if everyone can be naked in front of strangers, it means everyone can be your husband and wife—that's "immorality"!

Yesterday, my approach to this brother: I listed all his sins! I don't like doing things secretly! (Ephesians 4:15) But speaking the truth in love, you will grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ. ~~~This brother is slandering and spreading rumors behind my back. I may not pursue the matter, but I must point out his mistakes to his face! Many people would choose to silently swallow a dead cat, but I won't. Why should I tell this brother his mistakes? I actually have no obligation to tell him; I just need to wait for him to be judged! Telling this brother his mistakes would offend him, and of course, make him hate me even more. Being willing to correct someone's mistakes to their face is being willing to help them. If I didn't care about this brother at all, I would let him comfortably enter the fire pit! If a brother slanders a preacher, will God pretend not to see it? If a brother spreads rumors and slanders an ordinary person, will God not judge him? Isn't God a just God? Would God tolerate a Christian spreading rumors and slandering others? Would God tolerate a Christian spreading rumors and slandering a preacher? God is always the most righteous God! If the preacher is wrong, he must accept everyone's condemnation. If the preacher is not wrong, such rumors and slander will inevitably be judged by God! God's laws and God's justice cannot be easily despised or trampled upon!

Why are there so many crooked and perverse things in this generation? Because these people do not fear God at all! These people claim to be Christians, but they do not fear God at all! They say: "I believe in God!" They are just "believing in God with their mouths," they do not believe in God at all in their hearts! These Christians dare to spread rumors and slander preachers because they do not believe in God, they do not believe that God is a righteous Creator! They do not believe that God has the power of judgment! Why do congregations not believe in a Creator? Because many churches are engaging in sexual immorality! The church condones sexual immorality; its congregation and leadership are indifferent to it. A church that doesn't care about "sins", but instead enjoys "sinful pleasures" is causing Christianity to become increasingly corrupt! How many churches can find pastors with integrity? What will happen to their congregations if a pastor lacks integrity? If the Christian church doesn't believe in God's power of judgment, who will fear God? I point out this brother's error because I believe he can still be saved! The brother has been deceived by the devil, so he condones the devil's actions and helps the devil harm his brothers and sisters! God will surely punish those who are distorted and apostate, and He will punish even more those who plot against their brothers and sisters! Plotting against others is a grave sin; it is "deceit"! A person who "acts deceitfully" will sooner or later be exposed by the world and will sooner or later be despised and hated by the world! If a person is hated for "acting deceitfully," do you think such a person can be rewarded? A person who causes others to stumble is like someone who has a large millstone tied to their own body! (Mark 9:42) And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea."
