STOP THE HOMOSEXUAL AGENDA FROM YOUR CHURCH'S PULPIT

Submitted by: Donald Hank
Make this request to your pastor!  

I want you to do something that will help advance the cause of Truth -- but only if our spiritual leaders take action.  Would you consider asking your pastor or priest directly to give a sermon on the THEOLOGY of homosexual so-called "marriage"?  Not just on the importance of marriage, etc. -- but on how a true Christian should think about this modern quest for homosexuality-based "marriage" and "civil rights" based on sinful homosexual behavior.

Isn't it odd that although NO reasonable biblical case can be made for celebrating homosexuality -- not to mention giving same-sex "relationships" state sanction -- there is so much confusion on "gay marriage" -- even among self-confessing, "Bible-believing" Christians?  That's because so many believers (and non-believers) are taking their cues from the media and secular pop culture rather than the Word of God, which is abundantly clear on the matter.  And SOME "Christian" leaders are actually promoting homosexuality as a positive identity, which grieves my heart.  (For a terrific website on the Bible and Homosexuality, see Prof. Rob Gagnon's www.robgagnon.net.)
  

It occurs to me that like on so many other issues, our pulpits are largely silent on this momentous issue -- as if we've reached the point at which this is merely another "political/Culture War" question to be handled by the politicians (and spun by the pro-homosexual cheerleaders in the media).  Yet biblical Truth should trump political and cultural considerations.  I believe that attaching homosexual behavior to marriage is pure evil, and quite absurd.  That's because God views homosexual acts as unnatural (Romans 1) and detestable (Lev. 18) -- while He established marriage as not just the uniting of husband and wife to raise a family, but the symbolic picture of Christ's union with His Church (believers).

Yes, pastors need to preach more on WHY all sex outside (real) marriage is against God's will (and bad for us).  But since there is a hugely-funded, highly-organized, liberal-elite-backed campaign to normalize oxymoronic homosexual "marriage," spiritual teachers need to TEACH their flock on God's heart on this specific question.  A biblically illiterate culture cowers before the powerful "Gay" Lobby.  A biblically informed culture understands that homosexual "marriage" -- and any attempt to attach homosexuality to a noble cause or institution -- is folly because homosexual BEHAVIOR is sinful before God.  But thanks to the Lord, we know that this sin, like ANY sin, can be overcome with the help of Jesus Christ, who came to earth so that sinners could be redeemed.  It's no mystery that homosexual militants HATE and HARASS the largely Christian "EX-gay" movement, because it destroys their Big Lie that "gays are born that way" and therefore cannot change. 

Sadly, many Christians are giving up.  Shame on them.  Even from a political-cultural standpoint, that's stupid.  Defeatism won't get you anywhere --  especially in a free society that rewards action -- and in this case it's just a cop-out for succumbing to Political Correctness.  Conversely, there seems to be a Satanic Energizer Bunny behind the "LGBT" Lobby: even though homosexual activists are 0-31 when it comes to statewide votes on "same-sex marriage," with the recent GOP-supported vote to legalize homosexual "marriage" in New York, they are acting like they are unstoppable.

   
We need to get angry at homosexual marriage (a righteous anger), in the same way that many of us would get angry at legalized child-killing (abortion) -- or the idea of legalizing polygamy (a movement, by the way, that is gaining steam -- another by-product of the "same-sex-marriage" movement).  Please make a request to your pastor to address the theology on THIS SPECIFIC MORAL ISSUE, and let me know how it goes.  My e-mail isamericansfortruth@gmail.com.  God bless you.
