Whoever Is Not Against Us Is for Us
Mark 9:38 “Teacher,” said John, “we saw someone driving out demons in your name and we told him to stop, because he was not one of us.”
39 “Do not stop him,” Jesus said. “For no one who does a miracle in my name can in the next moment say anything bad about me, 40 for whoever is not against us is for us. 41 Truly I tell you, anyone who gives you a cup of water in my name because you belong to the Messiah will certainly not lose their reward.
I agree. But are they speaking against the word of God? Are they claiming Jesus is NOT the savior of mankind as He proclaimed? The one true Son of God? Are they singing songs that claim otherwise?
If they’re not, then I don’t personally see a problem. Jesus walked with prostitutes and lepers in his day and healed and forgave them all. We will not win this war if we do not rally around the message of loving your neighbor.
The LGBT student singing on stage about the love of Jesus Christ is doing a million times more for us than the far right individual shutting doors on those they disagree with. The day that I am perfect is the day I will judge that student, until then carry on soldier.
I judge by the same measures I expect to be judged by.
I personally try to follow the Word of God with every dot and iota. If you aren’t convicted the same way then I’ll judge you for it too because I expect to be judged by the same measure. It’s not our job to reduce the Word of God to save people, it is the Father that draws them.

Thank you for this. I love this community, but we often try to find the negative in everything. This is a great event, they’re praising Christ.
Yes.. it beats drag story time like someone mentioned
Speaking against the Word of God IS negative...

Powerful.
Speaking against the Word of God is clearly against Christ.
Even the Anti-Christ would fool true believers if God did not allow it.
