Vile affections

 by David Long

"Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet" (Rom. 1:24-27).

Sin is sin but there are some sins that have serious consequences. The sin described in Romans 1:24-27 is one of those sins that has serious consequences, not only to the persons involved in it but to society itself. It's a sin that perverts God's original design (Gen. 1:27).
