I don’t mean using your feet to get where you are going, nor am I talking about exercise.  The Bible uses the word “walk” multiple times in almost every book of the Bible to refer to the way we live.  In this sense, everybody walks through life.

In Genesis 5:24, we are told that “Enoch walked with God, and God took Him, and He was not.”  That last phrase, “He was not,” primarily means that he was not there any longer, he was gone to be with God.  The Bible also gives us some insight about Enoch in Hebrews 11 and in the little one chapter book of Jude.  In looking at those passages, we can see that he also was not conformed to this world, he was not controlled by this world, and he was not condemned with this world.  We are told that he pleased God.

Throughout this walk through life, it is extremely important that we please God.  Every aspect of our life will be better for doing so, because it is what we were made for.  When the walk comes to an end, it will be very important to us that we have pleased God.  Pleasing God is a one day, one minute at a time endeavor, and it is a decision that we must make.  One song says, “Daily walking close to Thee, grant it Jesus, is my plea; I’ll be satisfied with Thee, as I walk, let me walk close to Thee.”

It is true that all sin is equally bad in the eyes of God, but it is also true that some sins have a greater effect on society, than others.  It is true that political correctness and biblical correctness are most often opposed to one another.  It is true that we are to love people and treat them with dignity and respect, but it is equally true that we are not to sanction sin, whether in our life, or in the lives of others.  So what are we to think about homosexuality?  The short answer is that the Bible is to be our final authority for faith and practice.
