I am letting you know ( An open letter to Lauren Daigle)

"I can't honestly answer on that, in a sense, I have too many people that I love that they are homosexual. I don't know. I actually had a conversation with someone last night about it. I can't say one way or the other. I'm not God. So when people ask questions like that...that's what my go to is.  I just say read the Bible and find out for yourself.  And when you find out let me know, because I'm learning too." - Lauren Daigle

Christian music artist, Lauren Daigle, was all the talk in 2018 and the secular media embraced her. Many Christians joined in and applauded her after these comments. 

But there was a few who didn't fall for the bait. Then Lauren's quote came out and pretty much let us all know where she really stood. I've watched, observed, read and pondered on how I would respond for the past year or so. 

I do not know how long Lauren has been a Christian. But do you mean to tell me NOT ONCE in her life as a Christian she never heard that homosexuality is a sin? God says it is an abomination to Him according to the Bible. 
When we water down the word of God and we turn our face away from sin to be a "seeker" friendly church, you end up watered down, false converts. 


So I want to address where Ms. Daigle said that her go to is to pass it off to God because she isn't God. True, she is not God and she is not the ultimate judge of sin. But God has spoken through the Bible and through His arsenal of prophets, teachers preachers and evangelists. Somebody failed Ms. Daigle by not teaching her the commands of God. I believe that discipleship is very important so that mature Christians can raise new Christians in the teachings and commands of the Lord. 


What I don't understand is when Lauren says she reads the Bible and still doesn't know one way or the other. How can this be? The Bible is very clear about it. What also stands out to me is when Lauren said that she has a lot of people that she loves who are homosexual. Many Christians have homosexual family members. I have family members and friends who are homosexual too. We still have to stand on our belief of what the Bible says concerning homosexuality being a sin.


Lauren, if you ever read this, I want to say this. My prayer for you is that God would open the eyes of your understanding according to Ephesians 1:17-19. I pray that your faith would become more bold for Jesus.There is good news Lauren. We believe in a forgiving God. Peter denied Jesus three times and after the resurrection, Jesus restored Peter three times. I hope the Lord restores you. 


Please highlight these verses in your Bible and share them the next time you are interviewed or are not sure about what God has said in regards to this subject.
