Moral Decline

This past Father's Day, a group of radical homosexual activists and their families and allies attended Saddleback Church, the church pastored by Rick Warren, author of The Purpose Driven Life.

The following day, they shared a private meal with leaders from Saddleback Church and held private discussions with them.

Now, homosexuals are just as valuable in the eyes of God as anyone else, but church leaders do them an extreme disservice by encouraging their sinful behavior instead of helping them get set free from it.

This visit to Rick Warren's "church" was the concluding event of a six week "gay friendly family" road trip by a group of radical homosexual activists. The activists sought to initiate "dialogue" with megachurches across the nation.

But of course the activists were not interested in what Scripture had to say at all.

In December 2007, organizers of this project named "The American Family Outing" invited the key leaders of 6 of the largest megachurches in America to match families from their congregations with homosexual "families" for a meal and conversation. The "outing" commenced on Mother’s Day 2008 when the activists attended Joel Osteen’s Lakewood Church in Houston.

Perhaps someone should have shared this Scripture during all of those meetings:

Romans 1:26-27

"Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion."

God loves homosexuals and wants to deliver them and set them free. By affirming their sinful behavior, church leaders are just harming them more in the long run.
