John 15.18 - You Might Never be Cool Again!
John 15.18 - You Might Never be Cool Again!
Pastor Louie Giglio is cool. Last month he gathered 60,000 people from 54 nations and 2,000 universities for “Passion 2013” in Atlanta. Great speakers, musicians, artists, and lots of other cool stuff. Through “End It” they are striving to end global slavery and human trafficking. So cool that President Obama noticed and asked him to pray for his Second Inauguration. But…uh oh…somebody scoured through Louie’s sermons from 20 years ago and found something uncool. He actually said being gay is not God’s best for people. Even worse, he still believes it! That took Louie off the President’s platform. Jesus says in today’s text that no matter how we try to be wise and winsome in the way we look, or act, or sing, or dance, or vote, or seek to help others….if you love Him, the world will hate you. It’s Christ or cool.
