Promoting Immorality is Sin

Some of the very things that we think are love are actually promoting immorality, by removing the consequences and the shame that needs to be there.

Jeremiah 6:14-16 "…14 "They have healed the brokenness of My people superficially, Saying, 'Peace, peace,' But there is no peace. 15 "Were they ashamed because of the abomination they have done? They were not even ashamed at all; They did not even know how to blush. Therefore they shall fall among those who fall; At the time that I punish them, They shall be cast down," says the LORD. 16 Thus says the LORD, "Stand by the ways and see and ask for the ancient paths, Where the good way is, and walk in it; And you will find rest for your souls. But they said, 'We will not walk in it.'…"

Deuteronomy 23:2 " 2"No one of illegitimate birth shall enter the assembly of the LORD; none of his descendants, even to the tenth generation, shall enter the assembly of the LORD."

Hebrews 12:8
"But if you are without discipline, of which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate children and not sons."

God calls those who are not born again but pretend to be "illegitimate." There is such a thing as an illegitimate child. All this talk about all babies being from the Lord is true in once sense, but not true in another.

Very often God does not bless the families who are not repentant from their sexual immorality and their children are not blessed either. I do not celebrate in a baby shower the birth of the child born out of wedlock it sends a wrong message to celebrate that which offends God, that being the sex act outside marriage.

As for the baby, I would provide some of their needs, love them and care for them, but I would not legitimize sexual immorality by affording the same joy and privilege of a party for those who acted immorally to obtain this baby.

Baby showers and parties to celebrate birth should be limited to those who did it the right way through marriage. We have glorified the status of unwed mother by throwing these parties.

And, guess what, many say it's for the baby, it is not! The baby doesn't even know the party is taking place. The things are for the baby, that's fine, bring them one by one with the message of repentance. To have a party is for the mother, validating sex out of marriage. Our culture is so twisted in this thinking, they have encouraged immorality by affording the same joy and blessings that belong only to the mother who obeyed God in chastity.
