Controversy

Once again we have seen the collision between them the world’s philosophy and the Christian world view.  Of course, I am speaking of the “Chick-Fil-A” controversy.  The CEO of Chick-Fil-A stated publicly that his company was based about Biblical principles. Therefore, they did not agree with “same sex” marriage but believed marriage should be between a man and woman.  

The boycott came because Chick-Fil-A did not agree with those who held a different viewpoint on the subject.  The homosexual community quickly attacked the company saying they hated gays, that the company was homophobic. 

Most people have difficulty separating the person from their actions.  We are commanded by scripture to love all people, no matter what their lifestyle.  But loving people does not mean we condone actions that are condemned by God. [Lev. 18:22-23; Lev. 20:13; Romans 1:26-27] Christians, while not accepting a person’s sinful lifestyle, can accept the person. We must remember that homosexuality is not the only sin condemned by God.

While the media and other groups want to paint Christians with a wide brush, the fact remains that though we may not be politically correct or “tolerant”; we are not hate mongers.
