Dr. Robert Jeffress is the pastor of First Baptist Church of Dallas. He took a very bold step when he planned his current sermon series. The title of the series is "Politically Incorrect," and this past Sunday's sermon was "Why Gay Is Not OK." I hope God raises up more pastors like Dr. Jeffress, who will not water down the truth because of the feared public reaction. It really doesn't matter what the public thinks -- it matters what God thinks.
A small group of gays and lesbians saw Dr. Jeffress' sermon title on the church's marquee and staged a protest Sunday morning in front of the church. Patrick Hancock, one of those protesting, said, "Most of the people here are Christians, and they're taking offense at the Baptist Church trying to say how Christ's love should be interpreted." Well, Patrick, I'm pretty sure God is taking offense at your promotion of a lifestyle He deems perverted.
The crux of the matter is this: those close-minded gays and lesbians would have been much better off inside the church learning why gay is not OK than outside the church trying to cause a ruckus and using the Lord's Day to promote their sin.
