Becoming PC

What happens when “PC” stands for Persecuting Christians rather than Politically Correct? Both the President of the United States and its Secretary of State (John Kerry) have done much to promote the homosexual agenda while, by and large, ignoring the persecution of Christians.

While President Obama has been proclaimed “The First Gay President” (Newsweek May 21, 2012) for his stance and help for the LGBT community, it’s clear that he’s not quite as concerned with the persecution of Christians.  Last August in Egypt, while Christians were being murdered, nuns were paraded through the streets, and churches were burned to the ground, the White House’s official statement was merely a joke.

When asked, “What’s the President’s red line in Egypt?” the White House’s official response was, “Well, I didn’t bring my red pen out with me today.”

While our current administration has said virtually nothing about the increasing persecution of Christians in countries around the world, it’s quick to embrace the LGBT agenda and chastise other nations who take a strong stand against homosexuality. 

Recently the President of Nigeria signed a law criminalizing homosexual unions and gay clubs. The News Agency of Nigeria reports that entering into such civil unions could result in up to 14 years in prison.

President Goodluck Jonathan isn’t pushing this legislation through alone; the president of Nigeria’s senate urged him to sign this into law quickly.  Listen to his words.  “The earlier we sign it into law, the better. We have many shortcomings, we don't want to add this one (same-sex marriage) to them.”

The US State Department has been quite outspoken against this new law which bans homosexual unions in Nigeria, yet has been silent on American citizen Pastor Saeed’s unlawful imprisonment in Iran. While Muslims in Northern Africa continue to persecute Christians Mr. Kerry is silent.  He says nothing of the 2 million Christians who have been killed in Sudan nor does he speak out against the 612 Christians who were killed in Nigeria last year. 

Does the right to live a homosexual lifestyle outweigh the right to life itself?  Does America now value a person’s “human rights” over their basic right to life?  As we watch our government’s priorities play out internationally, it should concern us how they will play out at home.

The Bible is very clear about God’s view of homosexuality.  It’s not the unpardonable sin; but it is sin nonetheless.  It’s a sin like any other sexual sin; it can be repented of and forgiven.  However, Romans 1 tells us, it’s a sin which is different from other sexual sins; in that, it’s a judgment from God upon a nation or society which rejects Him as Creator, follows after the lie, and turns after its own passions. It leads to acceptance of more and more sin.

As a nation, we once looked at homosexuality as unacceptable behavior; now, those who promote homosexuality look at Christians as unacceptable. Now we’re called a type of “child-abuser” for teaching our children biblical truth. America has left her moorings and has set sail on a dangerous journey which will be to our own demise unless we return to that harbor which we once held dear– freedom under God.
