Good Tabletalk devotional today on this:
"Many scholars friendly to the liberalization of sexual morality will say the central sin of Sodom was inhospitality and not homosexuality. WE answer them in two ways. First, the Sodomites did sin in being inhospitable, but rape is nothing if not inhospitalbe. Second, even if this text serves to emphasize the inhopitality of the Sodomites, it does not make homosexual acts any less condemnable. Scripture is clear that unrepentant homosexuals are among those who will not inhereit the kingdom of God (1 Cor 6:9-10), even if the story of Sodom is ignored.
"Some of those reading this study today may struggle with homosexual compulsions or other sexual sins. If this is the case, know that there is freedom in Christ if you repent and moritfy these disires by the Spirit. The Lord has promised to provide a way out of temptation (1 Cor 10:13), and this involves running from places or situations where we are pressed to give in to sin and finding someone who can help bear our burdens and thus hold us accountable (Gal 6:2)."
