“And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done. They were filled with all manner of unrighteousness, evil, covetousness, malice. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, maliciousness. They are gossips, slanderers, haters of God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless. Though they know God’s righteous decree that those who practice such things deserve to die, they not only do them but give approval to those who practice them.”

All,
This stands out because Paul says, “they not only do them but give approval to those who practice them.” I can’t think of a single person I know who would say they belong to this group of people. Do you? Why would someone follow that life? I doubt they know the love of Christ or may have fallen victim to what the world values. Do you have a burden to help them come to know Christ intimately? Did you have any issues before you knew Christ and now He has transformed you? Please pray that we and our friends reach out to our friends that need Christ. Please pray for those friends.
