LTRP Note:<\/strong> This is a follow up to an article we posted last week: NBC News: World Vision to Hire Homosexual \u201cMarried\u201d Couples <\/a>. It’s difficult not to feel appalled at what World Vision is doing in both last week’s decision to hire homosexual couples and in this week’s reversal decision trying to say they reversed the decision because they were brokenhearted over offending Bible-believing Christians, when in fact they are brokenhearted over losing so much financial support. Hopefully, Bible-believing supporters of World Vision will realize this double-speak says volumes about World Vision and the direction they have been going in for years. This is an example of utter apostasy gone wild.<\/p>\n

So, I guess my wife and I never really had to repent over homosexual sin. Apparently we just needed to find and marry same sex partners who were “Christians.”<\/p>\n

That is precisely the message World Vision just tried to spread.<\/p>\n

But something unexpected happened: Christians (Bible believing <\/em>Christians) began canceling their economic support. That affected World Vision’s movers and shakers far more than the Word of God, which Richard Stearns flat out disobeyed.<\/p>\n

According to World Vision: “We are brokenhearted<\/strong> over the pain and confusion we have caused many of our friends, who saw this decision as a reversal of our strong commitment to Biblical authority. We ask that you understand that this was never the board’s intent. We are asking for your continued support.” — from World Vision’s letter about its reversal of policy on hiring “married gay Christians.” (bold mine)<\/p>\n

Brokenhearted.<\/p>\n

They are absolutely, positively brokenhearted.<\/p>\n

Right.<\/p>\n

Read: World Vision reverses decision<\/a><\/p>\n

Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals,
\nnor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God.<\/p>\n

Such were some of you; but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.
\n(1 Corinthians 6:9-11)<\/p>\n
