For all those who believe the Bible is outdated and that it does not speak to our generation we have another glaring example of its living, powerful, active work in our world. The prophet Isaiah in chp. 5:20 said "Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!" Jesus said in the Gospel of John 3:19 "And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. Yes, this is the same Jesus that loved us and gave himself for us (Galatians 2:20). This is the same Jesus "Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose strips ye were healed"( 1 Peter 2:24). In our day if a man says something that is true (light) he is treated like he has said something evil (darkness). Don Jones made two little comments and was treated by the Miami Dolphins as though he had committed battery against his wife, or was arrested for DUI. The Miami Dolphins fined and suspended Don Jones for tweeting "OMG" and "horrible"(light) because a drafted football player was kissing another man on ESPN. They have also demanded that he complete "educational training". Head Coach John Philbin put out a statement in which he said "These comments are not consistent with the values and standards of our program"(darkness). I don't know if the Coach has a grip on what values and standards are but by this statement it appears that he does not. It may be a wise move for the Miami Dolphins and their head Coach to receive some educational training on what values and standards are.
In Luke 17:28-30 Jesus said "Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. Even thus shall it be in the day when Son of man is revealed." Homosexuality is not just horrible it is a SIN. Why should anyone be forced to accept a sinful act as a normal part of life? It is abnormal, unnatural, and indecent behavior that should not be promoted by the NFL. Sadly, the only recourse that the fans have is not to show up for the games. I would certainly encourage fans of the teams that our involved in this promotion of sinful acts to withdraw their support. The only thing this world will respond to is the loss of their almighty dollar. Instead of being concerned about pleasing the Creator they are more concerned about political correctness. Do not forget when this world is over you will not be standing before the court of public opinion but you will be standing before God. Romans 14:12 "So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God." Revelations 20:11-15 " And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heavens fled away; and there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire."
