Kirk Cameron Under Fire for Christian Beliefs About Homosexuality
by Wendy B. McLain
Everyone remembers the sitcom "Growing Pains" that aired in 1985 and ran through 1992. Mike Seaver (Kirk Cameron) was the prominent star of this popular hit series. He portrayed a morally correct teenager with a very comical sense of humor who was loved by many throughout the program's airing.
Becoming a born-again Christian in his late teens Kirk began staunchly standing for his Christian beliefs using other venues to reach out to the world with the message of Christ's love and the proclamation of the truth of the Gospel.
More recently he starred in the "Left Behind" Christian movie series as Cameron 'Buck' Williams and another Christian box office hit "Fireproof" as Caleb Holt that took in $33 million in North America.
Now Kirk Cameron and Ray Comfort partner in a ministry program known as "The Way of the Master" aimed at reaching the unsaved masses for Jesus Christ.
Faith Under Fire
Followers of Christ are told 'But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you will be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.' Acts 1:8 (NKJV)
Kirk Cameron who was recently interviewed on CNN stated homosexuality is 'destructive detrimental and harmful.' And do you know why he is coming under fire with accusations that call his statement hate speech?
Men Love Darkness
Because he's proclaiming the truth to the ends of the earth, 'And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world...' but the world doesn't want to acknowledge the truth, 'men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.' John 3:19
'For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened.'
Professing to be wise, they became fools, and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things. Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.
And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful; who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.' Romans 1:20-32
Lawlessness will Abound in the Last Days
Every human being on the planet is now witnessing the ever-increasing lawlessness (like a snowball rolling down the side of a mountain with intensifying momentum and rapidly growing size) that is becoming more and more mainstream news.
The United States government itself is on a fast track in leading its nation to destruction due to its ever-increasing rejection of God that this nation was founded on over 200 years ago.
Lawlessness is the 'new world order' of the day with leaders in office magnifying and justifying the conduct of behavior that is in exact opposition to God's word. Jesus Christ Himself said in His prophetic dialogue on the Mount of Olives:
'Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name's sake. And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another.'
Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. But he who endures to the end shall be saved.
And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.' Matthew 24:9-14
Kirk Cameron is only doing what his Lord and King has asked him to do, 'And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them.' Ephesians 5:11 'Therefore He says: "Awake you who sleep, arise from the dead, and Christ will give you light."' Ephesians 5:14 Christian Persecution Kirk Cameron is facing Christian persecution just like every other Christian is facing in the world today because of their firm stand to live out God's uncompromising truths in their everyday lives in word and deed. 'Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. "Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake."' Matthew 5:10-11 This message goes out to Kirk and all other faith believing, bible prophesying and Holy Spirit filled celebrities in the spotlight. You have millions of brothers and sisters in Christ standing behind your efforts through prayer (to wake up the lost and dying people in the world from their apathy, complacency and down right depravity) to the infallible God of holiness, righteousness and truth. Don't Wait till it's Too Late May God open the eyes of the blind to the revelation of Jesus Christ and the realization that time is running out. The world is on the threshold of His coming millennial kingdom rule and then begins eternity. Humanity must comprehend they are about to meet their Maker to whom they must give account of their lives. 'For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.' Hebrews 4:12-13
