Another Call to Prayer

Faith in America launched a campaign this last Sunday that specifically attacks Christianity as the source of bigotry in America today. This is not entirely a new idea but it is a new campaign and it is coming on a national scale. The website literature does a petty job at bundling the gay and lesbian "plight" with that of racial equality and the women's rights movement - claiming that the same "right wing Christians" who denounce homosexuality also attack these "other" civil liberties. This is just another billow's puff on the fire that will one day make it illegal for Christians to preach that homosexuality is a sin and should be treated as such.
In light of this I encourage you all to join with me in prayer for the pastors in the specific cities that this campaign will be attacking and for the congregations to hold strong for the truth. Further, we need to be vigilant in our efforts to make clear the fact that the follower of Christ is opposed to the SIN of homosexuality but is not making attacks against the person. The problem has always been the behavior and not the being.
A final note I would leave with you is to know your history both Biblical and civic. The website supporting this "Campaign for Courage" contained outright lies about the Biblical historic support of homosexuality and our own country's support for homosexuality. The truth is on our side so know it!

Man. Crazy. I appreciate the encouragement. This is something that I have feared and yet something I'm not surprised by. You are right on with what we are to do.

We are to love the sinner, because we are one, and Jesus still loves us.

Thanks man.

thanks for the post, newecho! It burns me that people would flat out lie and misrepresent the truth is such a way. We knew these times would come, though.

looking at the big picture, I am glad that trials and persecution are coming for Christians. I am so sick of America's weak, self-centered, quasi-Christianity. The mounting storm of persecution is definitely on the horizon. Christ's church will definitely be purified!
