In this sermon on Romans 1:24–25, Pastor Blaine explains Paul's warning that when people exchange God's truth for a lie, His judgment is not always fire from heaven but often "giving them up" to their own sinful desires. God's restraint is lifted, and people become enslaved to what they think will bring freedom—especially sexual sin, which Paul highlights as uniquely destructive. Blaine contrasts the culture's cheap view of sex as transactional with God's design for marriage, urging believers to flee immorality and guard their conscience. He warns that idolatry is constantly knocking at our hearts, tempting us to trade the eternal for the temporary, but points to the "great exchange" of the gospel—Jesus giving His glory for our shame—where true freedom and identity are found.
