This Social Media Post Upset Thousands of People

Well, I made some people upset . . .

That probably won’t come as a shock (and it certainly doesn’t faze me)—people are often upset by our bold proclamation of biblical truth. Nearly every post I make on social media receives at least some degree of negative interaction from unbelievers or Christians who have compromised on the truth of Genesis.

But a recent post on my Facebook page exploded with hate. It was a short post (sometimes these short posts garner the most attention!), and it stated:

A gay “marriage” is not a valid marriage.

That post ignited controversy, and the comments piled up to well over 10,000! Wow! Many of those comments were filled with profanity, threats against me, or accusations that I must be some kind of repressed homosexual. So why did I make the post and why did it get so much negative attention?

Well, I explain that in a recent video we filmed for my social media. I encourage you to watch it for an in-depth exploration into the truth that gay “marriages” aren’t really valid marriages.

We must continue to stand on the authority of God’s Word, even when it’s not popular and even when it garners a lot of hate.

We must continue to stand on the authority of God’s Word, even when it’s not popular and even when it garners a lot of hate. Biblical truth will always make a sinful world angry, but we pray that, as the truth is shared, some people will have soft hearts and will respond by placing their faith in Christ and having a worldview shaped by Scripture.

And remember, it’s God who created marriage and therefore defines what marriage is. And there’s only one marriage God created: one man and one woman for life.

Thanks for stopping by and thanks for praying,
Ken
