Fired from job: Saying homosexuality is a choice

Image
LOS ANGELES, September 9, 2013 ( LifeSiteNews ) – Thou shalt not refer to homosexuality as “a choice” – at least not if you ever want to work for Fox Sports.  That’s the lesson announcer Craig James learned this week when he was fired from his job covering college football after just one appearance, because of remarks he made on the campaign trail during his unsuccessful run for U.S. Senate back in 2011. During a Republican primary debate for the Texas nomination, James criticized one of his opponents, former Dallas Mayor Tom Leppert , for marching in gay pride parades , saying, “I think right now in this country, our moral fiber is sliding down a slope that is going to be hard to stop if we don’t stand up with leaders who don’t go ride in gay parades.  I can assure you I will never ride in a gay parade.  And I hear what you’re saying, Tom, but leaders - our kids out there, people need to see examples.” Craig James The moderator then asked him, “Do you think people ch

Healing for homosexuals who come to Christ

One of the sweet advantages of insisting that there is no such thing as same-sex “marriage” is that there is therefore also no such thing as same-sex “divorce.” In the days ahead, this will be very good news for many who repent . In the years to come, God will be merciful on thousands of those who have been damaged by the present moral madness of our culture. He will exalt Christ in the conversion of many who have lived in same-sex relationships. More complexities than we can imagine will be presented to us in the church. One of the more difficult scenarios will be what the church should do when, say, two women, who have lived in a so-called married state for some years, are converted to Christ, repent of their sin, and want to join the church. And what if they have children? In this uncharted territory, here is a map with some of the biblical guideposts I foresee. It is not exhaustive. I invite every pastor to pray that God would grant him the great privilege of leading new believe

NEWCASTLE, Ontario ,  – A girl who identifies herself as a boy has been given permission to use the boy’s bathroom at her Ontario public high school . Sixteen-year-old ‘James’ Spencer decided to change schools after she began dressing and acting like a boy. Officials at Clarke High School in Durham Region were at first reluctant to let the biological girl into the boy’s room, asking James to use a private washroom that required a key from the main office.  But James started a school-wide petition that eventually swayed the Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board to let her have her way. “We decided it would be most appropriate ... and that’s the direction we’ve taken,”  said  Martin Twiss, the board’s superintendent of education to The Star. The School’s dress code policy  states  that students are to dress “neatly, in good taste, and in a manner which is appropriate for the school, workplace or an out-of-school activity.” Pro-family leaders  warned  earlier this yea

(Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Turning from you sin and receiving restoration and healing is wonderful for those drowning in the sin of homosexuality.  Your sanctification and daily walk with God will involve temptation and suffering. SSA and the sinful lure of the homosexual sin will bring a form of suffering which you will need to be fight daily.  Take some time to meditate on the wisdom of God as He works out His perfect will through our suffering . No wonder James , the brother of our Lord, commanded us to “Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials” ( James 1:2 )! Suffering is used to increase our awareness of the sustaining power of God to whom we owe our sustenance ( Ps 68:19 ). God uses suffering to refine, perfect, strengthen, and keep us from falling ( Ps 66:8-9 ; Heb 2:10 ). Suffering allows the life of Christ to be manifested in our mortal flesh ( 2 Cor 4:7-
