Speaking Out Against Bullying!

Are there any Christians willing to stand with me and speak out against the bullying of gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender students? Few things are as powerful as the right words spoken at the right time...By the same token words withheld when their season of opportunity is gone are a heavy burden to live with...Solomon said there is a time to speak...But it's a limited time and when its over it's done....I believe that we have to step away and examine the fact that God had a purpose for humanity....and  each person is worth the dignity of Creation...I agree with Albert Mohler statement below:

""When gay activists accuse conservative Christians of homophobia, they are wrong. Our concern about the sinfulness of homosexuality is not rooted in fear, but in faithfulness to the Bible — and faithfulness means telling the truth.Yet, when gay activists accuse conservative Christians of homophobia, they are also right. Much of our response to homosexuality is rooted in ignorance and fear. We speak of homosexuals as a particular class of especially depraved sinners and we lie about how homosexuals experience their own struggle. Far too many evangelical pastors talk about sexual orientation with a crude dismissal or with glib assurances that gay persons simply choose to be gay. While most evangelicals know that the Bible condemns homosexuality, far too many find comfort in their own moralism, consigning homosexuals to a theological or moral category all their own.""

Today I am preparing a different Sunday School lesson for my students....the idea of teasing and bullying others should not/cannot be part of the Christians life....It’s believed that the  teasing and bullying may have played a role of some kind in the students decisions to take their own lives...Christians are called to LOVE!!! The clip below moved me to tears.
