About 18 years ago, when my daughter was
about four years old, I took her to
her local library.
And in the lobby of that library was
a big poster board stand-up of two
lesbians kissing as it advertised a local play.
I went up to the librarian and I
demanded that the poster of the lesbians be
taken down immediately as it was offensive to
me as a Christian.
The librarian hemmed and hawed and said it
wasn't in her power to take down the
poster, that I'd have to contact the head
librarian over the whole city.
Well, the next day I spent several hours
on the phone talking with different library branches
until I found the right person who was
the head librarian.
I told her I'm a Christian parent and
I take my little girl into our neighborhood
library to teach her about books and we're
confronted with sexual perversion as soon as we
walk in the door by this prominently displayed
poster and I want it removed immediately as
it is offensive to what I believe as
a Christian.
The librarian said she'd look into it and
call me back.
The next day she telephoned me to inform
me that the offensive poster had been taken
down.
What that incident demonstrated to me, friends, is
that as Christians we do have a voice
in America, but the trouble is we have
lost our voice through the years because we
fail to stand up against the things that
are against God, against the gay life movement
that has a aggressive anti-Christ agenda.
Because we did not stand up when we
should have 15 years ago, things have gotten
out of hand to where they are now.
It's gay pride month and everywhere you go
you're confronted with their agenda.
You can't even go to the mall here
in my city without seeing on every storefront
window rainbow pride advertisements and promotions, but you
better not say anything about it now because
Christians have become a minority voice because their
indifference to gross sin.
I can promise you this, friends, if you
tried to replace the gay agenda material with
bible verses on storefront windows there'd be the
biggest outcry from every atheist and God-hater
in town.
The reason why Christians in this country have
lost their voice is because we refused to
exercise it while we still could and had
time to.
Others with louder voices rose over our silence,
but my bible says in Philippians 3.19,
whose end is destruction, whose God is their
belly, and whose glory is in their shame.
When you see a rainbow parade this month,
friend, you see a fulfillment of that verse
which speaks of those whose glory is in
their shame.
Heaven help this American Sodom.
