Celebrities Defend Jesus, then THIS Happens!

I admire you so much for being open about your faith. Oh, thank you. Do you feel like, I feel like you sometimes get sh** for that. Do you feel like that that's a hard thing? Oh yeah, I sure do.

But that's nothing new. That's nothing new, you know. If I was of this world, they would love me just like that. But as it is, I'm chosen out of this world. That's John 15, 18 through 20. It's the way it is.

It ain't nothing new.

The World Hates Christ's Followers

2 ,000 years ago, they hated him too. They're the hates the gospel because they love their sin. We're seeing this right now today. They hate the gospel because they love their sin.

It's all God, right? Because, you know, we should, as believers, we should go the rest of our life trying to figure out God. That should be an everlasting hunt. Like, how did I get to here? And man, I was at the gas station and I was just thinking about my auntie and my cousin was there and, you know, whatever those coincidences are, that's been my life.

And that's what keeps me curious about what God has next. Yeah, what's next? My eyes is like a three-year-old, just curious like Christmas. Let me ask you a question.

Do you have a passion for God? Do you desire him?

Do you long for him? I just feel like we're in competition right now because they are trying to normalize the devil. They are trying to populate. The devil is on the main stage at award shows. Sam graciously wanted me to accept this award because I'm the first transgender woman to win this award.

Thank all the incredible transgender legends before me who kicked these doors open for me so I could be here tonight. And in every video and signs and symbols.

And I said, you know what?

Loving Jesus Boldly in a Culture That Promotes Evil

We need to stop treating our relationship with Jesus like the little buddy that you talk to before you go to bed at night and not be more vocal about all the things that God means to us and all of the things that God has brought us through.

So don't let anybody tell you that it's not loving if you stand flat footed and speak the truth about this issue of homosexuality. What's not loving is to look someone in the eye when God says they are in jeopardy of an eternity in hell and merely wink and nod at their sin because you're afraid of being called names.

Speak the truth, Saints, because there's been a lot of moments that you didn't post about. But yet, you know, how did God decide to get me through this? And yeah, they going above and beyond to promote the devil.

And it's pissing me off because they used to devil worshipers used to be real secretive. Going down in the basement, this secret world. Now they're on the device to believe that. I do want to come back and I want to talk to you about Fast 10 as well.

We have a world to win.

We have nations to save. We have dragons to fight. And it can be done, but it cannot be done in the power of a man. But it can be done in the power of God.

Hey, big, if you don't mind, man, because so many people in the city that we love and be loved by is carrying a lot. And like when we talk about the devil seem to be way more popular than the relationship with Christ.

If it's possible, man, can I just close this interview out with a prayer from Mama Kim Burrell to bless the city, brother? If you don't mind that. Hey, brother, there's no such thing called too much prayer, bro.

OK, no such thing called too much prayer. Kim Burrell is the legendary is so many people who are going through a divorce and foreclosure homeless. They were living their best life. They got degrees on the wall.

They got the whole family sleeping in sheds in downtown L .A. And even if you imagine the mental, emotional. Yes, psychological warfare has been real for most of us. So this is my mama right here. And I just want her to bless everybody with a prayer.

Don't don't don't don't crash. Closing your eyes, driving. OK, but just receive this prayer of Mama Kim Burrell.

Dear God, thank you. You're everything to us, everything through us. Without you, we are nothing. Thank you for your love. Thank you for your healing. Thank you for your protection. Thank you, dear God, for your guidance for every person that sees and hears this.

Do more for them. Be more through them. Thank you for all things, God.

Jesus's name. Amen. Amen. I don't know the details of Chris Pratt and Tyrese's Christian faith, but I was encouraged that they were willing to say true things about Jesus that go against what the culture promotes and celebrates.

Chris Pratt said he was willing to be hated by the world because the world hated Jesus first. And Tyrese spoke out against the blatant Satan worship that we are seeing in more and more of our culture today.

Chris Broussard on Homosexuality, Sin, and Christian Witness

Similarly, I was very impressed by what Chris Broussard, an American sports analyst and commentator, said to Charlemagne Tha God, host of The Breakfast Club.

Now, first question, Chris, do you not like homosexuals?

I'm fine with homosexuals. I have no problem with homosexuals. Obviously, as I stated on ESPN, I'm a Christian, but I come across all types of people who are living lifestyles that I may not agree with.

Not just homosexuals. And I can get along with, you know, people, come across people like that on an everyday basis. Obviously, covering the NBA.

Well, as I said during Donkey today, and as we talked about last night on the phone, Chris, what makes you so perfect? Like, I told you that we're human beings living a spiritual existence. Like, it's impossible for us not to get dirty walking through this thing called life.

Chris unashamedly speaks the truth about the reality of living peaceably among people who call themselves homosexuals, yet not agreeing with their lifestyle. He also brings up the fact that sin is universal and affects every human being.

Romans 3, 23, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.

Striving to Be Christ-Like, Not Carnal

Next, Chris accurately explains the important difference between pursuing God versus ignoring God in pursuing sin.

Yeah, no, I've never claimed to be perfect. That's actually why I called you last night and rapped with you. I think you misinterpreted what I was saying. I definitely don't want to come off as that I'm perfect.

I'm just striving to be Christ-like. That's all I'm saying. And I think that's the mark of a Christian, that we strive to be Christ-like. All of us fall and stumble. And I have fallen and stumbled many times since I've been a Christian.

But I always, you know, repent and ask God for his forgiveness. And, you know, I move on from there. I think that's the mark of a Christian. And I think if a person that stumbling and falling while you're trying to live for the Lord is different than going out and hunting for sin.

My dear friend, there is no such thing as a carnal Christian. The Bible never teaches that a person can be a genuine Christian and live in continuous carnality and wickedness and sin all the days of their life.

The Bible's Teaching on Homosexuality

Next, Chris unashamedly explains what the Bible teaches about homosexuality.

1 Corinthians chapter 6 verse 9 says fornicators, homosexuals, robbers, thieves, adulterers will not inherit the kingdom of God. And it goes on to list a few other things. Romans chapter 1 says it's unnatural.

Obviously, the Old Testament talks about it being wrong. So but people, you know, like to say, well, it says that in the Old Testament, Leviticus, but not in the New. But now the New Testament, Romans and 1 Corinthians chapter 6 and a few other scriptures clearly condemn homosexuality, along with all forms of sexual immorality.

Keep in mind that Chris is a sports commentator, not a pastor. Yet he speaks more truth than many of the most popular pastors in the country today who absolutely refuse to state so clearly what the Bible obviously teaches, such as Joel Osteen, T .D. Jakes and Mike Todd.

Like an issue like gay marriage, people look to the ministers for leadership. Is that an issue that's for you against the rules?

You know, it would be. But Mark, I don't, you know, I don't really focus on a lot of those things. I try to stay in my lane of what I feel called to do. That does come up in interviews and things. But just don't feel like that.

That's not my core message. My core message is how do you how do you have a healthy self-image? How do you let go of the past? How do you raise good children?

How do you reach your dreams? And trust me, I've talked to enough LGBT. They are not all the same. Oh, for sure.

But how do we, first of all, is your thinking involved in this?

Evolved and evolving, evolved and evolving.

As a pastor, what do you think about gay marriage? I don't know. And you're welcome at Transformation Church. It's in the title, Transformation.

Born in Sin, Temptation, and Repentance

Next, Charlemagne asks about people who are born gay. And again, Chris gives a terrific answer that we pretty much never hear from the most popular pastors in the country.

So what about those that say, OK, I was born gay. So how can you say that I'm a born sinner? Like, I'm not. I'm not asking to be sinful. I'm born this way.

This is naturally who I am. I mean, first of all, my personal belief is that you you aren't born that way. I think the scientific studies, you have those on both sides. It's really inconclusive. But regardless, we're all born in sin.

I mean, I was born attracted to women. I'm still attracted to it. I'm married 17 years, never cheated on my wife. But man, I've been tempted, you know what I'm saying? And I mean, I cover the NBA. I'm seeing beautiful women all the time.

I've had actresses throw me a little rhythm, but I got to resist. I got to fight against temptation. And that's the life of a Christian, that you you fight against the temptation. And if you stumble and fall, then you get back up, you repent, you ask God for forgiveness and you move on.

And I think that applies to homosexuals as well. If a person who's same sex attracted, you know, is sincerely trying to live for the Lord and they fall and they fall in the same sex relationship or act and they they're really trying to serve the Lord, they repent and they ask for forgiveness and they keep trying to serve God may fall time and time again consistently.

I believe that person is a Christian. But that's why I said yesterday, it's about unrepentant sin. There's a difference. Am I repenting or am I just saying, yo, this is how I am, God. I don't care what you say.

I don't care what your words. I'm not even asking for forgiveness because everybody knows that that's how people are born. Right. We have the LeVay Brain Study, you know, Bailey and Pillard's twin study.

We have Hamer's X chromosome study. You know, we've got Savick's pheromone study. So, of course, I mean, all of these things, by the way, none of these things, none of these things, none of these things has proven a genetic connection to homosexuality.

And even if it did, it wouldn't matter. You realize that there is nothing that proves that people are homosexual?

Like Chris, we as Christians need to tell people the truth that being naturally inclined towards particular sins does not make those sins acceptable. We are all sinners who need to fight and struggle against our sin natures, not to earn salvation from God, but because we have been born again by God and have received new natures that now desire righteousness, holiness and obedience to God.

Ah, so that we just go on and just live any way we want to? Yes. Because when you're his, he'll even change your want to. Amen. The true Christian is not the one who lives the way he doesn't want to. The true Christian is the one who has his want to changed.

Amen, somebody. We're transformed and conformed to the very image of Christ so that even our desires are different. Do you see the difference in those two things? Thank you so much for watching.
