The majority leader's office responded promptly and firmly. What he considers to be backward are the views and values of the great majority of Americans, who understand and are concerned about the grave social and ethical questions our country faces. Rep. Dick Armey, R.-Tex., majority leader in the House of Representatives, defended Lott. Conservative Christian leaders welcomed the comments of Lott and Armey. Senator Lott and Congressman Armey are absolutely correct.
Scripture is as clear as it can be that homosexuality is a sin.
The statements from the White House on this issue, as usual, are more concerned with political correctness than with biblical correctness. The legacy of this White House on matters of sexual mores is a disgrace. I am grateful that there are public officials who are willing to take a stand for what is right. The first chapter of Romans describes people who, in their rebellion against God, commit immorality with people of the same sex. It is far easier to go with the tide than willingly subject oneself to the fury of homosexual activists, the media and the political elite.
