I received this email from the Family Research Council via its leader Tony Perkins today:
Dear Friend of FRC,
The Lord has impressed on me the need for us, as followers of Jesus Christ, to take responsibility for the broken state of our nation and go to God. But we must go to Him on His terms, in humility, prayer, and repentance as outlined in 2 Chronicles 7:14. Then and only then can we claim the promise of God's forgiveness, healing and the renewal of our lives and our land.
Visit www.Call2Fall.com and click "I'm in" to participate in this nationwide effort.
The day after we celebrate our "Independence," we need to re-declare our "Dependence" upon God in humble and repentant prayer. At minimum, we hope that you will spend at least a few minutes literally on your knees in prayer during worship services on Sunday, July 5th.
Can you help us spread the word about Call2Fall?
Please take a couple of minutes and send an email to your family and at least five of your friends. Just copy and paste the link below into your email and encouraging them to visit this link:
http://www.call2fall.com/welcome_participant
There they can view a video, visit the website, and join this movement. Ask your church leaders to sign-up your church to become a host for Call2Fall.
Visit www.Call2Fall.com and click on "I'm in" and encourage five friends to do the same.
Can you imagine what God would do if millions of Christians all across our land would actually do this and mean it?
Bear in mind that the Family Resarch Council is the same organization that:
- admits that it relies on "outdated" work to demonize the lgbt community:
The Family Research Council continues to use 'outdated' work
Another flawed piece of work courtesy of the Family Research Council
- and recently took part in a huge attempt to destroy GLSEN's Kevin Jennings via a campaign of innuendoes and outright lies:
More attacks on GLSEN'S Kevin Jennings - Now the Family Research Council gets in the act
And that's just the stuff that I'm not too tired to mention. From its inception, the Family Research Council has set the bar high when it comes to breaking the commandment on bear false witness.
Yet this is the same group that is encouraging us all to pray with it? Praying with the Family Research Council makes about as much sense as me going to a Klan rally in search of a boyfriend.
Don't get me wrong. I believe in the power of prayer because it's how I was able to reconcile myself with my sexual orientation.
But if I am going to pray, it won't be with the Family Research Council.
I'm too pretty to be struck by lightning.
Did you know?
ReplyDelete* Of 32,000 verses in the Bible, only five directly mention homosexuality.
* The Qur'an only directly mentions homosexuality once.
* Leviticus, the book of the Bible which stipulates death for homosexuality,
requires the same punishment for adultery, pre-marital sex, disobedient children
and blasphemy. Pastor, do you preach the death penalty for adultery, pre-marital sex, and disobedient children? If not, why not?
* The Biblical Jesus does not condemn homosexuality.
* The destruction of the Biblical city of Sodom was due to their mistreatment of
strangers.
* The Bible never condemns same sex marriage.
* The Biblical David and Jonathan had a formal same-sex union.
* 'Traditional marriage' in the Bible includes polygamy.
* No known sacred text forbids same sex marriage.
* Very few sacred texts even mention homosexuality.
* Hindu and other far eastern sacred texts do not condemn homosexuality.
* Homosexuality is not unnatural, it is practised by hundreds of species of
animals.
When praying this Sunday at your Call2Fall event, perhaps we need to ask God’s forgiveness for elevating homosexual sin above adultery, divorce, pre-marital sex, and blasphemy, and hypocrisy.
Amen.
