Re: CeCe Winans under fire for singing at Gay chur
I guess I understand what she's trying to do, but it seems that they would take this as an endorsement of what they are doing/living. I cannot see her agreeing with their lifestyle, but I've been shocked before!
Re: CeCe Winans under fire for singing at Gay chur
She's going to perform in a building that is called a 'church' and supposedly is to be used to worship God. By appearing there she is 'affirming' their position whether she wants to or not. Is she going to present the bad news of their lifestyle and the good news that God can save and change their orientation? I'd really be surprised if she does.
This is the extreme opposite of Fred Phelps.....and just as dangerous.

Indeed... I hope this happens. I won't say it can't but the liklihood is slim. These are not just any sinners. These are people who preach God accepts the sin... that it is not a sin at all.
We are living in a world where some sin has been widely accepted.. and because of this there are those of Christian "faith" who have been conditioned to believe the same as the world. We're all afraid of being called biggots or labled intolerant for our stance. We're bombarded daily by these thoughts...
How can love be wrong?
If this were a church who believed you can be a Christian and murder, or lie, we wouldn't be having this conversation. We'd all be on the same page.

There's a BIG difference between singing to mere unbelievers, to expose them to the word... and singing to unrepentant homosexual "Christians". These people have rejected the clear biblical teaching regarding homosexuality, and her presence there only serves to legitimize and show approval of their error.

You talk about "the leading of the Lord"?
Good grief... Don't all purveyors of false doctrine tell you they feel "the Lord has led them" into whatever false doctrine they now advocate?
CeCe Winans is seriously in error here.

Exactly right TR. How can the sin of homosexuality be repented of in a church with affirms the lifestyle?
I believe that the pentecostal church as a whole must do more to reach homosexuals. We need to develop ministries that reach into that darkness and pull lost, dying people in to the true love of Christ they're searching for. Affirming and sanctioning sin is not a part of God's will to reach the lost.
