Today it seemed appropriate for me to post this quote by Rick Warren. With all the brouhaha being bounced around in the media over Phil Robertson of Duck Dynasty exercising his freedom of speech and following his own beliefs, I decided to post this quote and also a few of my own thoughts about the Duck Dynasty dilemma. I am thankful Mr. Robertson was truthful about his beliefs. I wish more people were willing to speak out and stand up for what they believe in. Everyone so carefully pads their words with political correct phrases nowadays; it’s impossible to sift through all the fluff to the truth. No one wants to be reminded, or wants to remind others, that sin does have consequences.

Much of what is accepted today by the world, and pushed down our throats by the liberal media, is wrong. The Bible DOES say that physical love between those who are of the same sex is wrong. It’s plain…it’s simple…it is sin. Yet what we must remember is that we are all sinners…we are saved only by God’s Grace to us through the sacrifice of his son, Jesus Christ. We can have the free gift of salvation by believing in him and asking him to be our Lord and Savior.

For many years I attended a good Bible-based church where the pastor often reminded us that we should…“Hate the sin…but love the sinner.” I think that is a perfect way to look upon this situation. It puts things in the proper perspective.
