Karen is a school teacher. She has taught for a long time. Lately she has been attacked for Christian beliefs even though she opted to teach at a Christian school. It just so happens Karen is Karen Pence married to Vice President Mike Pence.
Someone leaked that she taught in a Christian school, which she never tried to hide. Leakers made a big deal out of a covenant she signed, like other Christian schools require employees and students to sign. What is the sticking point. The Biblical stand against homosexuality.
This has become such a big deal that self pronounced theological expert Lady Gaga addressed this in a recent concert in Las Vegas, NV. She went on a rant saying that Vice President Pence is, "the worst representative of what it means to be a Christian." I do not know Vice President Pence. I do not know His testimony. I have certainly behave more lovingly and kindly to people than leftists have in recent days.
Just take the March For Life. An angry protestor actually grabbed the genitals of male reporter and thought she was justified in doing so. There has been little media coverage about that. I have actually seen the video footage. Shocking.
Political activist actually confronted some Catholic schoolboys but the media turned the script to make it look the schoolboys confronted a elderly Native American.
I have read multiple reports about high ranking economic and political officials involved in pedophilia. Our country is spinning out of control and celebrities often use their platform to persuade people for their agenda. Yet when Tony Dungee did this with athletes giving them a platform to testify about Jesus he got lambasted. Blatant hypocrisy.
In this land of religious freedom and pagan culture it is increasingly popular that the only freedom of religion is to side against Bible Christianity. The LGBT community shout incessantly against anyone who dares stand or speak out against their sinful lifestyles.
This has become so widespread I have noticed several times in the past several months of openly homosexuality flaunted in commercials. More than one sitcom has to introduce homosexuality into their characters. The LGCT community showers the media with the message that their way of life is an acceptable normal alternative lifestyle. A view becoming more and more popular.
Lady Gaga went on to say, "I am a Christian woman." Stop. I know nothing about her except that she sings. I could not identify one song that she sings. Just saying you are a Christian and actually being one are two different things. Unless a person has repented of sin, turned to Jesus in faith, asked for His forgiveness, believed for His rescue and salvation and been transformed by Him that person is no more a Christian than I am a billionaire. You know true followers of Jesus by their fruit.
True followers of Jesus believe the Bible to be the word of God divinely inspired and authoritative. The Bible clearly speaks out against homosexuality. The LBGT community ignore and reject these things.
1 Corinthians 6:9-10 (NKJV)
9 Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites,
10 nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God.
Romans 1:22-32 (NKJV)
22 Professing to be wise, they became fools,
23 and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man--and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things.
24 Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves,
25 who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
26 For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature.
27 Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting;
29 being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers,
30 backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31 undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful;
32 who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.
That does not mean that homosexuals cannot be transformed. God is not going to change His standard though to accommodate pagan beliefs. I know the stories of people God has delivered from homosexuality. They have stated publicly the rampant immorality among homosexuals. They have also heard all the speech for tolerance but once they left the LGBT community and began speaking out against it they were ostracized, criticized and bullied.
God's followers are not to water down the truth no matter how fierce the mounting peer pressure from a pagan society. We are stand for this truth in love. One man told me he would take the hatred and criticism because Jesus was that precious to Him. He is alone except for his church family. Betrayed and abandoned by supposed friends and all because he met Jesus, got saved, transformed and delivered from homosexuality.
Lady Gaga went on to say, "What I do know about Christianity is that we bear no prejudice and everybody is welcome." True. Everybody is welcome. Jesus' arms are open wide. He calls for repentance. He calls for a renouncing of sin. He calls for authenticity. He calls for a genuine conversion. Not one of pretense or held to man made standards.
I have loved and ministered to homosexual people over the years. I cannot change God's standards. He does not change His views are not base on the prevailing political winds of the day. God has a standard. His word makes it clear. Intelligent people may argue, rationalize around, or persuade people that God has changed His mind. They are wrong.
Truth matters. Truth stands. While pagans shout their mantras and manifestos ,often betraying the same tolerance they preach so tenaciously. They are not tolerant toward Bible believing followers of Jesus. They see us a a threat. The enemy. A group to oppose at all costs.
God stands everlastingly. His word stands. His standards stand. Lady Gaga does not make the rules. She is but a blip on the radar of history. Here today and gone tomorrow. Others came and went before her. Many will come after her. God and Jesus will be the same today, tomorrow and forever. If there is going to be changing it will be this nation changing and calling out to God in repentance.
Hebrews 13:8-9 (NKJV)
8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
9 Do not be carried about with various and strange doctrines. For it is good that the heart be established by grace, not with foods which have not profited those who have been occupied with them.
I don't care what Lady Gaga says. I don't care what Bruce Jenner does or say. I don't care about the LGBT community shouts. Jesus is the same. His word stands forever. I will side with Him in this pagan age.
