Fifty years ago when Carolyn Dirkson started teaching at Lee…

Fifty years ago when Carolyn Dirkson started teaching at Lee College (now Lee University) the culture at Lee was judgmental and while the Lee students of today are not so judgmental she said there are still students who are afraid of the student body’s judgmental-
ism.. She said they are undocumented students, people of color, gay people (LGBTQ) and financially distraught students.

She said we need to love them and help them live their best lives.

This was the third day of Lee U convocation, so I guess her biggest hurdle is that she had to follow a real anointed sermon from the previous evening. That would intimidate anyone.

I have so much problem with liberal educators I don’t know where to start. I have a lot to say. What are your thoughts?

You need to step off, she said nothing that was theologically incorrect.

We do have to love gays. But not the sin. God Loves sinners. But hates their sin. That’s why He gave His life on Calvary. Was to forgive their sin. But they have to ask God to forgive them. Or they will never be forgiven. They have to confess with their mouth that Jesus Christ is the Son Of God. And believe in their heart. That He is risen from the dead. And ask their sins to God and He will forgive them. Romans 10:9.

U may have a point but is this all u do? What about spending ur last yrs & time in productive ministry. I am nearly 72, retired, live on my retirement, draw no salary but stay active in practically full time ministry. I still have a call and the fire. Any where there r people there is a Harvest field & a work to do & stay busy in the work of the Lord. Time is short & Jesus is coming soon & I want to b found doing something for my Lord productive when He comes or calls! I do not want to just sit around. An idle mind is the workshop of the devil. I have never worked for man nor to please man. I am called of God & to please God. It is not about me but Him and the Harvest! RDM

Take a look at the lady in the picture, wouldn’t you like to have her as a sister, an aunt, a next door neighbor? Isn’t her attitude the same as Jesus’ ? He was criticised for being kind to publicans and sinners.

If you are talking to me. I wasn’t talking to you. I was addressing sin in general. And teachers in general. I don’t even know you. I don’t condemn people. I teach against sin. Who ever they are. Because I love them enough I don’t want them to stand before God condemned. He’s the one that counts. But the Bible does teach we are to set an example. And teach against sin. Or according we could be counted per takers of other men’s sin. That doesn’t mean we are committing the sin ourself. But we don’t warn them of their sin that it’s against Gods Word. When I say teach. I’m not talking about teachers in school. They have to answer for them selves. I was in no way have you in mind when I was talking about teachers, could be school teachers , Sunday school teachers , parents. Or every day people.or any one who isn’t teaching the truth. I love the Church Of God. And men and women have laid down their to preach the truth. And be an example. But if they started that people like that could take a roll in things like that. I’m not talking about coming to church. They need to hear the gospel. Maybe the Lord would change their life. But we couldn’t compromise and take a chance on them being lost forever. That’s why it’s so important for teachers, preachers , or Christians to tell what the Word Of God Says. It’s isn’t because we don’t love them. It’s because we do love them. But as far as talking about you. No more than any other person setting an example.
