YES! Your Album Sales WILL be Affected!

http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2010/05/19/jennifer-knapp-chely-losing-conservative-fans-coming-lesbians/?test=faces

Let me get something across to all you readers out there. If a Christian artist "comes out", their album sales are going to be affected, end of story.

I have long been a fan of Jennifer Knapp. I remember seeing her in concert more than 10 years ago - she was on stage sitting on a bar stool just her and her guitar. It was incredible. She has an amazing voice, and is incredibly talented. Will I allow my son to listen to her music? No.

The fact of the matter is... the words "lesbian" and "Christian" do not coincide. I'm not necessarily saying that homosexuals cannot be saved and cannot be Christians. This is not what I mean. But when someone out there is promoting themselves as a homosexual Christian artist, I'm not going to be a fan, nor will I allow it into my home.

I imagine the majority of conservative Christians feel the same as I do - it's just not right. So will her album sales be affected? ABSOLUTELY! She is an unknown in the secular world, and in the Christian world, she's not going to sell. There might be a few former fans who purchase her album based purely on the scandal, or they haven't heard the news, or they just really like her music. But overall, this is not going to be a good thing for Jennifer Knapp.

Like I said before... Christian and Lesbian do not go hand-in-hand, according to the large majority of Christians, and well... the Bible!

I was devastated to hear this news... and am still devastated. But what is more devastating than the news, is her attitude about it. She is not repentant, she does not think that she has done anything wrong, or is doing anything wrong. She thinks that this is just fine. IT IS NOT JUST FINE!

That's all I have to say about that.

    I agree! I was wondering not that long ago what happened to Jennifer Knapp. Well, now we know. Gotta wonder why it took her 7 years to "come out" when she's been in a same-sex relationship for 8. Could it be that she was more than a little ashamed and knew perfectly well how the Christian community would respond?

Wilfred Laurier 1907 Speech

--> I think this is is something that needs to be forwarded until every Canadian with a computer receives it. The year is 1907, one hundred and three years ago. -->   Wilfrid Laurier's ideas on Immigrants and being a Canadian in 1907. 'In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes a Canadian and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet a Canadian, and nothing but a Canadian.  T here can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is a Canadian, but something else also, isn't a Canadian at all. We have room for but one flag, the Canadian flag. We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language. And we have room for but one sole loyalty and t...

Spare the rod, spoil the child...

Spanked Children May Grow Up to Be Happier, More Successful Imagine this: a biblical principle that actually works! Spanking works.  I am walking proof.  While every child has their moments, if a parent uses a spanking the way it should be used, it's effective. Here is my definition of a proper spanking: the child is old enough to recognise that they have done wrong (never spank a kid who doesn't understand what they've done isn't right), never spank in anger (if you're mad, don't even think about disciplining your child, cool down before you deal with it), explain to your child why they are getting the swat (don't just spank if the kid doesn't know why), don't wait too long to spank (kids forget - discipline while the issue is still relevant) above all, let your child know you love them and that they are receiving the discipline because of that, not because you're mad about something they did or didn't do. This is how spanking worked w...

A road not travelled

Disabled Vets Seeking to Sue Federal Government Today I will veer in a new direction.  I don't believe that I have yet to compose a post in which I actually agree with the people complaining about our government.  In this case, I do. This is not the first time where the mention of war veterans has entered the picture.  I'm all for supporting the people who fight for our country as well as the freedom of others.  These men and women often go beyond the call of duty and are true patriots in my book.  To enter a profession where active duty in a war zone is nearly a guarantee you get my stamp of approval. While the government certainly isn't to blame for 98% of the problems Canadians tends to blame it for, in this case, to deduct monetary awards from injured veterans is inappropriate and downright mean.  These are the people who should be most compensated by our government. If money is the issue here, surely there are other areas where costs could be c...
