    Why is it that when we (Christians) make an observation, it's called "Condemning or Judging" even by other Christians?

    Is it because our opinions or observations don't line up with theirs?

    Is it because our opinions or observations aren't valid, unless they agree with theirs?

    Good Gravy!

    For someone who claims to be a long-time Christian, who says he or she does NOT know what sin is, is totally ridiculous, at the very least.

    She is not just dodging truth, she is lying. Why? Because she is a coward to make a stand. Does anyone else hear ths spirit of this? Sounds exactly like Joel Osteen in his Larry King interview some 10-12yrs ago. We are reaping THAT harvest. Daigle is a child of that seeker-sensitive, relevant stuff.

    Let's Help Lauren Daigle Rather Than Condemn Her
    By Michael Brown Published on December 4, 2018
    https://stream.org/lets-help-lauren-...ather-condemn/

    We've seen this show before. A Christian recording artist or author becomes very popular, reaching beyond a typical Church audience and becoming popular in the larger world. He or she is then asked about homosexuality and fudges the answer. In turn, the Church quickly condemns him or her. Can we do better this time around?

    Let Your Light Shine

    I'm talking specifically about the very popular Christian recording artist Lauren Daigle, whose career skyrocketed when she recently appeared on the shows of Ellen Degeneres and Jimmy Fallon. She received plenty of criticism from some Christian circles for those appearances, but many others saw the good in it.

    After all, if you can sing your song or tell your story before the non-believing world, why not do it? Why not let your light shine in dark places? How else will it be seen?

    It's one thing to compromise our faith to share our faith. That's a lose-lose scenario. But if you can be yourself and reach a larger audience, why not?

    Unfortunately, during an interview with celebrity publicist Domenick Nati (who actually attended our school of ministry years ago), Lauren gave a very weak answer on homosexuality, drawing a tremendous amount of criticism and even condemnation. Others have been more redemptive in their approach.

    As one who is on the front lines of the culture wars, I fully understand this reaction. After all, I have personally reached out to people like Vicky Beeching, Jen Hatmaker and her husband Brandon, Dr. Tony Campolo, Jim Wallis, and Rob Bell for their compromised views on homosexual practice.

    It's About Us

    And I have decried the fact that so many pastors and leaders do not speak out and make their biblical views clear.

    But it's one thing entirely when a recognized worship leader like Beeching or a respected, octogenarian like Campolo changes their views after years of reflection and goes public.

    It's another thing when a young Christian singer gives a weak answer during an interview. That's why this article is not about Lauren. It's about us. It's about our response....



    ...Publicly Lynched by the Christian Media...




    ...An Unction to Address Hypocrisy in the Church

    Another young man, also a friend and colleague who is not afraid to call out sin and to rebuke compromise publicly, posted this on his Facebook page.

    "So Christians everywhere are apparently upset with Lauren Daigle because she didn't stand up for truth, but the problem is that they just can't seem remember the last time they did either. People are writing to me everywhere today because in many circles I'm known as a prophet who speaks out with boldness and courage. Pastors and saints are asking me to come out tonight and blast Lauren Daigle. Well I've been in prayer all day and I feel absolutely zero unction from the Holy Ghost to address Lauren Daigle. I actually feel a tremendous unction to address the hypocrisy in the body of Christ."

    For posting these words, he, in turn, is being condemned by other Christians, receiving an immediate spate of hate mail.

    I Get the Disappointment...



    ...Time to Pray and Strengthen Her...







    This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity (futility) of their mind, having the understanding darkened...
    (Ephesians 4:17-18)

    Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly...
    (Psalm 1)

    Is she accountable to any Church as they are the first ones who should minister to her

    Again, I don't think she should be "condemned" - She's just doing what the majority of our so-called "Christian Artists" are doing these days...

    Compromising!


    Hubby was recently watching a bit of the Dove Awards (the Christian version of the Grammys), and he was shocked at how low-cut Amy Grant's dress was - He said her cleavage was almost down to her navel.

    We all know what's going on here. She goes on these shows because her agent wants to broaden her appeal for marketing purposes to make more money. If she honestly communicates what the Bible clearly teaches it defeats the whole purpose, so she dodges the issue. Now she has to deal with the fallout from her Christian audience. She should have known that going on Ellen's show was going to prompt a question like this, and she should have had an adequate response ready.

    Having lived in Nashville for a couple of years in pursuit of a career in the Christian music industry, I can tell you that most of these "Christian" artists are marginal Christians. The Christian music industry is full of boozers, druggies, homosexuals, adulterers, and liars. It's pathetic. The industry won't allow artists to stand on principle, which is why so many of us chose to go another route. Martha Munizzi is a prime example. We worked together in a worship team in the 90s. She was contemplating a move to Nashville and I advised her against it. Instead she hooked up with Clint Brown's new church in Orlando, Florida where she gained national exposure without having to compromise her values or beliefs.

    Pentecali has been telling us this for years as well. He says if we knew what really goes on with these people, we'd be appalled.
