ESPN recently honored Bruce Jenner (Yeah, Bruce not Caitlyn) with a courage award at the ESPY'S. In actuality they honored a man for pretending to be a woman. This is an abomination to God (Deuteronomy 22:5). Jenner is a very confused person who is in rebellion against God. Bruce Jenner was created as a man and not as a woman. Jenner does not need to be applauded and celebrated, instead he needs to be helped and confronted with the reality of his sin. He needs the truth of God's Word.
Previously ESPN had pushed Michael Sam, the first openly homosexual football player to be drafted by the NFL, as part of their secular agenda. They even had to show Sam and his partner kissing. In reality Michael Sam was not that good of a football player. He was probably only drafted because he was a homosexual. ESPN and other sports media were over the top in their support for Michael Sam. Again ESPN was celebrating someone who was living a sinful lifestyle. Homosexuality is also an abomination to God (Leviticus 18:22, Romans 1:18-32).
ESPN basketball analyst, Chris Broussard once spoke out against homosexuality on the network. An apology from ESPN soon followed. I wonder how Broussard managed to keep his job at ESPN. In a recent telecast of ESPN's NFL pregame show, analyst Keyshawn Johnson took the Lord's name in vain. None of the panel seemed the least bit bothered by it, not even those who profess to be Christians.
Not surprisingly ESPN did not issue an apology for Johnson's remark.
ESPN is owned by Disney a very secular and liberal company. It will continue to push the secular liberal agenda. There is a distinctly anti-Christian worldview at ESPN. The ESPY'S award show has become an embarrassment. ESPN has become a promoter of sinful lifestyles, setting itself against God.

Was Jesus Silent On Homosexuality?
Some people say that Jesus was silent on the issue of homosexuality because he does not mention it in the Gospels. But that is not the case.
-The entire Bible is the Word of God.
-Jesus is God.
-Therefore the entire Bible is the Word of Christ.
-The Bible says homosexuality is a sin.
-Therefore Jesus says homosexuality is a sin.
It is simply a matter of whether one considers Scripture authoritative or not.
-The entire Bible is the Word of God.

The End For Which God Created The World, By Jonathan Edwards
(Book Review)
The End For Which God Created The World, by Jonathan Edwards (Updated To Modern English by Jason Dollar)
Jason Dollar has done a great service for the modern reader in updating the language of this classic work of Jonathan Edwards. But even in modern English Edwards is not easy to read.
Jonathan Edwards (1703-1758) was a pastor, theologian, and philosopher. He is considered by many to be the greatest theologian in American history. In the book Edwards asks why did God create the world? He concludes that it was created to glorify God. The purpose of everything is to glorify God. The purpose of humans is to glorify God as well. They receive their greatest benefit and ultimate good when they glorify him. Edwards makes the case for his position from reason and Scripture.
Modern people need the message that Jonathan Edwards taught. Modern man is purposeless and without direction. This book puts it all together and shows us the big picture. The modern church needs to rediscover Edwards. It needs to recapture his vision of the greatness of God and his God centered view of all things. Edwards was a brilliant, Biblical thinker. We need men like him in our day.

Tony Campolo Endorses Homosexual Marriage
Eastern University professor, Tony Campolo has recently endorsed homosexual marriage. Campolo has been a prominent member of the "Evangelical Left" for many years. In the 1990's he served as a spiritual adviser to President Bill Clinton.
Tony Campolo said that after hours of prayer he came to the decision to endorse same sex marriage. In reality Campolo did not need to spend hours in prayer about this issue. God has already told us that homosexuality is a sin. God sees it as an abomination because it is a violation of his design and creation. The Bible is very clear on the issue of homosexuality. Marriage is meant to be between one man and one woman.
It comes down to a question of Biblical authority. Campolo ends up denying the authority of the Bible as God's Word. There is no doubt on what the Bible teaches about homosexuality. It is a sin and there is no way anyone can believe the Bible and support homosexual marriage.
Tony Campolo's wife has supported same sex marriage for years. One wonders if Tony Campolo has not actually supported it himself all these years. He is terribly deceived and continues to go astray.
