Duck Dynasty

While the events surrounding the Duck Dynasty TV show should come as no surprise, I would like to make a few comments from a little different angle. Phil Robertson’s comments were crude and unloving, exhibiting a lack of understanding and sympathy. He could of done better. That being said, foundationally, he is correct. Homosexuality is a sin with which some people struggle. But, according to Scripture, so are adultery, hatred, and drunkenness (among other things). It is extremely rare to hear, if ever, someone rail against these things. Galatians 5:22 goes on to describe what a godly life looks like.

My point in all of this is that Phil could have spoken better but at the same time put a sharper point to it.  The world is going to hate the truth regardless of how it is delivered. We, as Christians, need to do all things in love regardless of how it is perceived. Phil screwed up, but the truth is what it is. We all need to deal with the sin in our own lives, not judge others but pray for them instead, and see all sin as destructive, not just the sins that we personally find offensive or distasteful.
