Soulforce & COLAGE Target Megachurches

You've likely already heard this, and I found this out quite some time ago, but I'd thought I'd share it anyway.

Soulforce, which promotes a "pro-gay" interpretation of the Bible and COLAGE (children of lesbians and gays everywhere) are recruiting LGBT parents and children to participate in what's called "The American Family Outing" and will attend 6 megachurches to try to "educate" the church and public about homosexuality.

The churches targeted are one's led by Joel Osteen, Bishop T.D. Jakes, Rick Warren, Bishop Harry Jackson, Jr., Bill Hybels and Bishop Eddie Long. Read the article about this here.

Jesus wants us to love these people who engage in homosexual behaviour by doing the most loving thing there is-- pointing them to Jesus who, "if we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness." 1 John 1:9

Let's be careful not to compromise what the Bible says about homosexuality--that it is a sin---in the name of "love, tolerance, and unity" in the process.

After all, the most loving thing to do is lovingly point people to the truth, isn't it?

This campaign will be happening between Mother's Day and Father's Day this year. Let's pray for both the churches targeted and the people who are participating.
