Most recently Kirk Cameron was on Piers Morgan. He stated that he believed that gay marriage is unnatural. He also stood by his conviction that abortion is wrong under any circumstance.
As a result he has taken a lot of heat. What did he say that was wrong? He’s accused of hate.
The only thing Kirk Cameron did was tell his moral convictions on his beliefs. This is what labeled Kirk Cameron a person of hate in America today. Speaking of being an American, Fran Drescher said Kirk needs to rethink what it is to be an American. Obviously we know that Fran believes that it’s not okay to speak your moral conviction in public, unless of course it’s her own.
Kirk explains that he doesn’t hate, but his mission is to love all people.
There are a couple of verses that stick out to me on this matter.
John 15:18 – 18 “If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first.
Isaiah 5:20-21 – 20 Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter. 21 Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes
and clever in their own sight.
Proverbs 14:12 – 12 There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death.
Proverbs 16:25 – 25 There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death.
When God uses a name twice it’s to really get attention. What about when the wisest man uses the exact same verse twice?
Romans 1:21-27- 21 For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles.
24 Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. 25 They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.
26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. 27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion.
The world gnashes its teeth at God. The worldly don’t want God but to be the god’s of their own lives. Kirk Cameron is being attacked in his obedience to the Word and he was being very nice about it. However, Satan doesn’t like nice and he is in a battle with our Lord.
Will your heart come to Jesus and do what’s right and be attacked by the world or will you follow the world and accept its path.
Luke 12:8-9- 8 “I tell you, whoever acknowledges me before men, the Son of Man will also acknowledge him before the angels of God. 9 But he who disowns me before men will be disowned before the angels of God.
We need to stick up for what’s right. God Bless you Kirk and as believers we’ll keep you in our prayers.

Ask a Christian man a question, you get a Christian answer. Go figure. You can hardly call that hate!! Kirk is standing up for his beliefs, it would be unAmerican if he didn’t! Praise be to God!!

Patrick, about the time that Kirk Cameron had the Morgan interview (I didn’t watch it but I heard about it) God hit me over the head with something as well. I realize that I need to start taking a stand on moral issues AND verbalizing them when necessary. I know that Believers are supposed to be doing that anyway but in my quest to be compassionate and non-judgmental, I’ve been silent on a lot of things. I truly think there are friends and acquaintances of mine who don’t know my beliefs. Honestly, it was a hard realization for me. I DON’T like offending people but I know now I can’t avoid it. What bothers me more, I think, is that I’ll be taking heat from Believers. I can understand non-Believers not liking what I’m saying (your John 15:18 verse) but there are a number of Christians who were and are offended by some of the moral stances taking by the universal Church. I’m still ruminating on how to explain what I believe and I know I need to be up on Scripture to explain my views. I also know that I need to allow the Holy Spirit to give me the words to explain it all. I’m not looking forward to be disliked and (verbally) attacked but I’m starting to understand it’s one of those things a Believer has to put up with sometimes.
Thanks for posting this topic. Have a great week. 🙂
