Last week I posted a quote from Albert Mohler’s chapter in Sex and the Supremacy of Christ called “Homosexual Marriage as a Challenge to the Church: Biblical and Cultural Reflections.”
Here is something by Tyler Kennedy from today that goes well with that quote:
“We must beware in our opposition to sexual immorality that we do not merely take on a different expression of the same sin. We must beware lest we think that the issue is simply an 
external one and that we are “good with God” just because we maintain a high moral code.
Any outcry among Christians against sexual immorality should be outdone by our protests against pride. We should be most aggressively opposed to arrogance—especially as we find it in ourselves and in our churches. Only then will we be in a right position to speak humbly, wisely and brokenheartedly about the evils of sexual immorality and the greater love of Jesus Christ.”
Kennedy makes these observations in light of the prophet Ezekiel’s declaration to a disobedient Israel:
Behold, this was the guilt of your sister Sodom: she and her daughters had pride, excess of food, and prosperous ease, but did not aid the poor and needy. They were haughty and did an abomination before me. So I removed them, when I saw it. (Ezekiel 16:49-50)
This passage is of course often conveniently and willingly overlooked by people who have little to say about sins that are not sexual. Let’s not do the same.
