Beyond The News -- A Daily Commentary From Salem Communications August 17, 2004
The Future of Tolerance --Albert Mohler An ominous news report has just come from Sweden. Ake Green, pastor of a Pentecostal congregation in the village of Kalmar has been sentenced to one month in prison on a charge of inciting hatred against homosexuals. According to press reports, Pastor Green condemned homosexuality last year as an "abnormal, a horrible cancerous tumor in the body of society." His comments were delivered as part of a sermon, drawn from biblical texts, dealing with the sin of homosexuality. In Sweden, biblical preaching is now a crime. The prosecution of a Christian pastor for the crime of preaching a biblical sermon sets a new low for the culture of political correctness. Evangelical Christians--and all those who cherish religious liberty--should observe this case with great interest and concern. Those who reject biblical truth are now set on silencing Christian pulpits--all in the name of tolerance, acceptance and diversity. Albert Mohler is the host of The Albert Mohler Program.
