President Obama & Homosexuality

I want to encourage you to open this link from OneNewsNow.com:White House outlines Obama's pro-homosexual agenda and read President Obama’s agenda as related to homosexual issues facing our nation. In the body of the story is another link that will take you to the White House’s agenda on civil rights. By checking that link you actually can read the agenda from the Obama administration.

It is important for us as we discuss these moral issues that we remember all people are created by God and have been created in His image. Therefore, all people have worth and value. We also need to remember we are living in a nation whose values do not coincide with God’s teaching in His word. We are aliens in a foreign land and this world is not our home. We are called to be salt and light while we are here.

We are called to what God spoke to the people in Babylonian exile through the prophet Jeremiah – read Jeremiah 29:4-14.

As believers we begin with the presupposition that the Bible is God’s Holy inerrant word and is our standard and authority for all of life and we must not compromise God’s ultimate and absolute truth.

We believe that one of the most loving things we can do for others is to consistently speak truth to them with Christ-like love and compassion.

One of the concerns I have with President Obama’s agenda is that we will continue down the slippery slope that we are calling “hate crimes” that may one day lead us to a place where what we are doing through The Sight Ministry becomes illegal because it will be considered hate speech to speak God’s truth about homosexuality and it will be considered hate crimes to carry on the out reach ministry the LORD has called us to.

I do not particularly desire to live my final years of life in prison because of my faith. But I state publically today if that is what I must do then I will gladly serve the LORD in this way.

What we are doing through The Sight Ministry is NOT hatred or bigotry. It is our faith. We believe many have been blinded by the enemy. They are not our enemy but the one who has blinded them and who fights against God is our ultimate enemy. The LORD desires that we each have life and that we have it more abundantly, but the enemy has come to steal, kill and destroy our lives (John 10:10). To embrace a gay-identified life is to miss out on the abundant life that God intends for us and to settle for lesser lovers. God Is Our Lover and there is no other who can compare (I’m reminded of Hosea and Gomer in the book of Hosea and the Song of Solomon).

Will you pray with me on a regular basis for President Obama? Will you pray regularly for me and for what the LORD has called us to do through The Sight Ministry?

My scripture theme for 2009 is: “For I know the plans that I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart” (Jeremiah 29:11-13).
