“Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil;
Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness;
Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!”
—Isaiah 5:20
When Dr. D. James Kennedy was alive, every once in a while we would
have all sorts of protesters surround the church with signs against him.
I remember one of those times when I said to him, “Oh, look. Here come
the ‘shock troops of’ again.”
One of the first protests was at our inaugural Reclaiming America for
Christ conference. More than a thousand people surrounded the church,
calling Dr. Kennedy various names. What were they protesting? Dr.
Kennedy’s outspoken belief that homosexuals can be freed from their sin
by the power of the Gospel—something he saw happen on many occasions
throughout the course of his ministry.
