As many of you know we really don't write post based on pop culture or celebrity news. But this pass weekend's Miss America Pageant has caused some controversy. Judge Perez Hilton, a gossip blogger, asked Miss California a question about Same Sex Marriage. If you missed it, here is the question.
Miss California answered the question honestly and took a stand for her convictions. I respect her and admire that she glorified the Lord on such a huge platform in front of millions of people. Not many people could have done that and so many well known pastors have avoided questions like this. Miss California has shown the world that she is "Not ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ...." Romans 1:16.
That same night, Perez Hilton went on his blog and lashed out in an angry rage against Miss California for her answer. Miss California went on FOX News to respond to what Perez said about her and to defend her answer.
10 Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 “Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. 12 Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you Matthew 5:10-12
I pray that the Lord will give all of us the same courage and strength to speak the truth. People are watching and waiting to hear what we have to say.
