Shame On Sports Illustrated

I know it is on it's way.  I know it is coming.  I, for one, do not welcome it.  It is against the will of God.  Nevertheless, the battle rages on.  It is the battle between what God says and what pop culture says.  I know that pop culture has power and backing.  Sports Illustrated is afraid.  It is afraid to stand up against a wave that will seriously change the fabric of American culture.  Homosexuality is a sin against God.  A man must not engage in it.  It is evil.  SI would have shown a great deal of courage had they not reported on the first openly gay athlete in a major American team sport, and to not have his photo on their first May issue of this year.  Too sad.  Too bad.  This is too much information.  Sex is private.  Jason Collins, just play basketball.  Forget about politics.  That is what all of this is.........politics.  The pursuit of power.  The pursuit of legitimacy for a sinful lifestyle.  It is not necessarily the pursuit of acceptance, it is the pursuit of compliance with accepted standards.  Proponents of  this lifestyle want it to "join" accepted standards.  I do not believe it will ever happen.  I might be wrong, particularly since change is coming so fast.  However, since the "light of the world" is still here, they will continue to set the standard.  They will continue to be looked upon for guidance.  Those who use the Word of God as their standard for marriage and the family, will continue to be called haters, bigots, intolerant and other unkind words.  Sin is sin.  Sinners need to ask for forgiveness.  They need to repent.  I will continue to love the sinner.  I will continue to pray for all sinners.  I will pray for Sports Illustrated.  I will pray that when SI interviews an athlete who has faith in Jesus Christ, and is not afraid to give the King of kings the honor and glory due to His name, that SI in turn, will not be afraid to print it.  Should not SI honor the courage of someone?
