Comments Are Coming In!

Hi everyone,
I am really late on getting this blog out. Sorry~ I have been working on my article for the magazine, which is due out tomorrow so I have really been busy. Just now got supper on but I wanted to take a moment and tell you that I appreciate your comments on the Homosexuality article. I really hope to encourage those who are trapped in that lifestyle to realize its not Godly no matter what people are telling them. (If you'd like to read those comments look under 'Homosexuality: What I Believe God Says About It' below)

Well, its cloudy and raining here but its still been a pretty day over all as the sun was out for awhile. I hope your day has been a good one.

Be sure to check out the magazine tomorrow as I should have it online sometime in the morning.

Remember, I said it, and you read it, right here at Darlene Osborne's Blog

Homosexuality: What I Believe God Says About It

BLOG DATE JULY 30TH 2007

By Darlene Osborne

First, I want to say that I hope all that read this had a wonderful weekend. It has been cloudy and rainy around here lately but I think the sun is trying to shine today.

It’s Monday, the beginning of another work-week for many of you out there and it’s also time for me to get busy on the magazine. The new issue is due out later this week. If you’ve never visited our magazine I hope you’ll take the time to do that soon. http://www.TheChristianOnlineMagazine.Com

I wrote an article for our July issue and it seems to have caused quite a stir on the net. The title of the article is, Has God Changed His Mind About Homosexuality? I have received hate mail from those who don’t agree with me but I have also received letters of support from those who do agree with me. What I wrote came straight from the Bible. One email I got from the opposing side wasn't very kind. But hey, I count it all joy.

Did you know that many believe they can be a Christian, go to church, and live in a gay lifestyle all at the same time because everyone is going to Heaven in the end anyway? I say to those that believe that, oh really? Well then tell me what this scripture means? 1st Corinthians 6:9 says, Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind. Verse 10, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. Also read Galatians 5:19-21. Be sure to read Romans Chapter 1.

Listen folks, gay people need to be saved just as much as the drunk down the road needs to be saved. And if they are going to call themselves Christians, they need to turn away from the gay lifestyle. There is no sugar coating this thing. And that is what is scaring me the most. Many are sugar coating it! Many pastors are saying, come to our church where it's okay to be gay. Well, don't believe it. It may be okay to be a gay Christian in the world's eyes but it's not okay in God's eyes.

To the gays who are really wanting to know the truth. Please accept Jesus as your personal Savior. Receive Him into your hearts by faith and read His Word for yourself. God loves you! But he wants you to follow His commandments and not the commandments of men.

There is no gay bashing here. Only the truth being told. It's all in the Bible.

TV Evangelists: Are They Just Trying to Put on a Show?

I think God is against all the showy aspects that is going on, not only on TV, but in the Christian community in general. There seems to be no end to what some will do to impress others. God’s people are supposed to be modest yet I see them getting more and more engulfed in their looks. They are being drawn into what my daughter often refers to as the glamorous gospel. In fact, so many are getting facelifts and makeovers that it makes me wonder if there isn’t some kind of beauty pageant phenomenon going on. They seem to be saying, look at me, I’m Miss America! Are they competing with one another to see who is the prettiest? Who will win the crown? Stay tuned to find out.

Of course, I am only kidding folks! But I guess, when it really comes down to it, I don’t understand what all the fuss is about. These women are already beautiful so why are they trying to fix something that isn’t broken.

But on the other hand—

If something is broken and we can fix it, I think we should. Makeovers are fine and surgery too, when necessary. But, as Christians, how far do we go? It is just my opinion of course, but maybe we should leave out the extreme unless it is deemed necessary. The Bible does not teach self-glorification. And, I believe those that are getting involved in the extreme, when it is not necessary, are hurting their Christian witness. What kind of signal are we sending to the lost? If we tell the sinner, Jesus loves you just as you are, shouldn’t we be held to that same principle? After all, we’re trying to win a spiritual war, not a beauty pageant! Read More, Click Here

A few weeks ago someone, who claims to be a Christian, approached me with the idea that it’s okay to be gay. That as a Christian I should change my opinion on homosexuality because God accepts the gay lifestyle and so should I. This person provided scriptures that were taken so far out of context that it was actually scary. However, in their quest to change some minds on this issue they may have actually swayed a few. But, I will not be swayed. There’s no bible evidence that God was ever okay with the gay lifestyle. In fact, in the Old Testament in the book of Leviticus Chapter 18 verse 22 it says it is an abomination.
