He's definitely all over the place. Regardless you are a witness to the union and God holds you responsible for keeping the union together....I would not attend a gay wedding. Plus if a person respect you and your morals, values they wouldn't ask you and put you in that compromising situation.
Absolutely I feel like he's trying to be a people pleaser and not a GOD pleaser stand on the word of GOD it's a strong loving No I still love you but No I can't do it
Our neighbors got married a few years ago. They invited everyone in the neighborhood except us, out of respect. They knew we wouldn’t come because they know us. They love us and we love them, but because they knew us they would never want us to compromise our beliefs. And we wouldn’t.
That's the first word that stood out to me while listening to Preston.. COMPROMISE. And I love how they have respect for you to not invite you bc they know your beliefs. That is awesome. 🤍
See and that’s great! Both: that they know & respect your beliefs and that you and your spouse have made your standards clear to your neighborhood. It’s great to see this type of respect and love, regardless of antithetical beliefs. 🙌🏽Praise God!
@karanowlin9506 I don't think he's compromising though. He is trying to use wisdom. Nick said he think he can keep that door open without attending. But Preston thinks that's the way he can keep the door open to be able to witness to her. He said he'd have a conversation with her....
@@karanowlin9506ok...so after continuing to listen to Preston, I understand where you're coming from when you said you think of the word compromise.....it does sound like that. He probably isn't aware of it...that he sounds as if he'll compromise
So how many weddings have yall attended where the bride and groom were both virgins? How many weddings have yall attended where the groom has lusted after the women he sees in his porn collection? How many weddings have yall attended where there were no fornicators getting married? Or weddings of divorced people marrying another person? So many people in glass house ready to cast their stones at other people 😧
I’m in this exact situation with my sister and her partner. She asked if my daughters and I can be in her wedding. She wanted my girls to be flowers girls. I told her, you know I love you so much and I’m here for you 24/7 but I have to stand on Gods word and respectfully decline. I didn’t say it in a mean way or holier than tho way, I said it in a I KNOW WHERE I STAND WAY. My sister knows I love her but she also knows I have boundaries too and she respects that. I have to be an example to my girls and show them how to be a beautiful light for Christ, not lighting ⚡️⚡️⚡️like some Christians. The Holy Spirit will lead you and give you perfect words to say without compromising🙌🏽💯💕‼️
I’m reflecting on what Preston had said about being able to honor both God and his loved one at the same time but as soon as he said that the Holy Spirit brought this text to my remembrance: “It is impossible for a person to serve two masters at the same time. You will be forced to love one and reject the other. One master will be despised and the other will have your loyal devotion. Your choice between God and the wealth of this world is no different. You must enthusiastically love one and definitively reject the other.”” Luke 16:13 TPT You absolutely cannot please everybody someone is bound to get pushed to the back burner! FACTZ!
@@candylicious3024but what about if your Brother who is a Christian & now his Daughter has got a gay partner??? I’m finding it so hard, I hope they don’t get married, she has already got. 8 yr old daughter from a sperm donation 😢😢😢so I would appreciate your Prayers🙏it’s even hard at Christmas cuz if we celebrate at her place I don’t go as most of her gay friends come as well 😢so it’s a tricky situation as I have to show the love of Jesus to ALL💞I’m waiting for a word from HolySpirit 🙌🕊️🕊️🕊️
Here’s the thing! Coming from a person who was delivered from homosexuality; I DO NOT THINK YOU SHOULD GO TO A GAY WEDDING AS A BELIEVER. Going means that you affirm, confirm & support that union. I do understand the point of keeping the relationship alive but how can people truly be set free if you are supporting their sin & attending events that goes against God! Also you never know going to that wedding could cost you temptation. Those lust spirits could rub off on you due to you going. Even Jesus says your eyes are the lamp of your body. We’re called to be set apart & just because someone may feel broken about you attending doesn’t mean you go! The Lord could deliver them through you for standing on your faith & righteousness. The Bible says the enemy walks around like a roaring lion seeking whom to devour & that’s definitely an open door for him to come in! We must as Christian’s stand on the word ! ❤
I lost a good friend because I refused to go to his wedding, he was also my employer but I couldn’t go because I knew it was not of God. The word tells us if we love our parents more than we love God then we are not worthy of Him. This is just one of those times that a hard decision has to be made …. Will you stand or fold? I couldn’t and wouldn’t attend.
@@Alexthomas-hd4xjcause We Know God personally. Reach out, He wants you to Know Him too. Most Beautiful True Relationship you will Ever have. Promise. Be respectful and tell Him to pull up!!! He will!!! ❤
Yet u do it everyday to excuse your own sins but judge other sins. There is no man who does not sin. Who are you to judge another? James 4:12 addresses God being the one true judge saying, “There is only one lawgiver and judge, he who is able to save and to destroy. But who are you to judge your neighbor?”
My sister asked me to be in her same sex wedding as a bridesmaid- I simply told her I’m honored but I decline because me attending or walking in the wedding means I agree. I said it with love and now we aren’t connected (her doing because I love her). She knows the truth and she knows where I’m at when she’s free from that covenant. God will work it out
You're nit alone, I'm in a similar situation Sadly, leaving me alone wasn't an option. They assumed I hate them and persecuted me. Some still do. Be observant Nothing is as it seems in these times.
“neither be partaker of other men's sins: keep thyself pure.” 1 Timothy 5:22 KJV “Abstain from all appearance of evil.” 1 Thessalonians 5:22 KJV As a Christian who believes a lot of things are simple and even black and white..it bothers me when I hear other Christians philosophize issues and just talk, when there are scriptures that can clearly communicate what is the proper stance on an issue. It gives “I know better than the Bible.” Preston KNOWS how bad it looks for a believer to be at a gay wedding. He understands that it communicates agreement, yet is still finding a way to make it ok. Gods church should be a united front on these issues. It’s not that hard if we truly stick with the word. The only way I could see the Lord allowing/telling a believer to attend a gay wedding, is if he wanted you to object to it openly, and preach the gospel.
I've been through this situation. My older brother got married to his long time boyfriend in 2018. Here's how I went about it. I really didn't know what to do so I prayed and fasted a lot. I ended up going, here's why: 1. My brother has been gay since he was 14 and I was 12. Back then we were catholics and barely going to church. I got saved in 2014 when I was 27. Growing up we dealt with incest and a divorce. As west indians / caribbeans my brother was rejected a lot when he came out. My father even disowned him. As soon as he turned 18 he moved hours away from us to live his life on his own terms. I always felt I had to be present for him and visit him often to remind him that we love him, I love him and God loves him (even before being saved). I always felt like by being around and showing him love, he would know there's an open door for him in case he wants to get out. 2. The spirit of rejection is very real and wreaks havoc. IMO the devil uses our rejection to trap others in their sins. The spirit of rejection has always been manifested in my life and I know how hurtful it is. it makes you doubt your identity in Christ, surely you can't be used by God if people keep rejecting you. Because I know the depth of the hurt it can cause I chose to go to his "wedding". I chose once more to show him love. By rejecting him, I know he would feel like God rejected him, that the door was closed. And by closing this door I would not be able to give him biblical advice today, or tell him that I pray for him and that I love him. 3. I prayed and fasted on my way there and the day of (Esther fast before and fasted until 6pm the day of). I wanted to make sure that I was going there covered by the glory of Christ and the discernment to act the right way. 4. As Preston said, to me it wasn't a weeding at all. Picture this: He got married by a fairy, who sprinkled fairy dust on them. There was no mention of God. 5. My presence there was impactful to him and all his friends. They all knew I was a christian and I got a lot of questions on my presence there. Weirdly enough I found myself praying for a lot of them and quoting them Bible verses to help them through different situations they were going through. Needless to say I'm glad I was fasted and prayed up because the spiritual opposition there was OFF THE CHART! His medium friends and "spiritual" friends kept talking about my "aura", "energy" and "strength" and they all said they "couldn't read me" or "see me" 🤣 6. Which brings me to my last point: TERRITORY. I refuse to let the devil advance on my territory in my family. As for me and my house we will serve the Lord. If I give up and never show up the devil is winning. For them all they'd see is rejection from God. I'm going and standing STRONG anytime I can. I'm praying and fasting with all my might for my family. I'm correcting them gently and with biblical advice anytime I can, planting seeds and letting the Holy Spirit doing the rest. My goal is for all of them to be saved before I die, it's a mighty fight but I'm on the winning side. There you have it, that's why I decided to go and how I went about it. I think that there's no right or wrong answer, you really have to pray about it and ask for discernment and guidance. PS: english isn't my first language, sorry for any mistakes.
The Bible said as Christians, we have to turn our back on family members because God comes first; please Him first before anyone else. We can only have one master.
Yes 🙌🏾 that reminds me of The book of Luke chapter 9 when Jesus told the disciple to follow me and leave everything else behind because he wanted to go back home with his father and Jesus said let the dead buried the dead
@@TJ-fv3vt why do people blame God when things are bad but give man praise when things are good? We have an enemy and if people and their families open the door to sin that’s what happens He warns people to not do these things for a reason.
I know these two who got married. One was my child and I did not attend and they understood why I didn’t attend. It didn’t tarnish our relationship. But I prayed against it, I prayed it didn’t last. It goes against my belief as a Christian. I would never accept this type of behavior.
Why is it that in order to prove a point people have to paint Christians as being harsh unsympathetic, uncaring sending people to hell.. that’s not always the case... The Bible says speak the truth in love. I like when the young lady said God can use your NO!
So this isn’t about a wedding per se, but my sister-in-laws daughter who is about 16 just recently started dating another young girl. Their last visit in town, they wanted me to meet up with the family. Mind you guys I’m just stepping into my journey with Christ. I’m a brand new believer in the last year. But there was something pulling me to not attend the family gathering. I told my husband I’m not comfortable meeting my nieces new “girlfriend”. My sister-in-law never knew why I wasn’t meeting up, just assumed I was busy. I’ve know my niece since she was about 10 and I just found it so bizarre that she’s now “dating” a girl. And now that I’m listening to other people say they won’t attend a same sex wedding because it will project some sort of approval, that hit the nail on the head for me. Idk… just my thoughts
Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the Lord. Psalm 1:1-3
It’s crazy that y’all mentioned a Masonic funeral. Last summer my great uncle passed away and I had no idea he was a Mason. His group came and had a very long speaking part at the burial site that made me very uneasy.
@@chimenefreeman708 - i remember growing up in the 1970's. alot of christian men even blacks were masons and practice being a christian at the same time in those lodges they would go to.
I just want to thank you for being so honest and outspoken and for this UA-cam channel. I really feel that God has given you a gift of great discernment.
Im glad you covered this topic Nick! This is a topic I know all to well, not in the sense of a weddjng but I had a friend last year that confronted me about my beliefs and i explained to her why I did not support the LGBTQ community and she stopped being my friend because of it. Ita hard to lose people that you care about but its important to stay obedient to what the Lord designed and layed out for us to follow.
I could tell these are two very intelligent people and they have probably really good banter between the two the they challenge each other. I love this
If the person getting married believes in your commitment to your faith and the word, they would probably not ask you and let you know why. Respect for your faith.
That is a really good point! What would be the point in going? As Nick said, attending a wedding is to celebrate or show support. Why would a Christian celebrate something that is an abomination to God? Tough love requires a strong NO when a yes dishonors God.
I loved that episode of the Perry’s podcast and encourage everyone to go listen! But to answer the question would I go?… my husband simply said “ No, I’m a man of God” My answer would be No also, but in my heart if I had the boldness to say what Preston said I would and be open to going but then would end up not going bc my husband said No! But, praying for the boldness to deliver the gospel to the people in this community! Great convo Nick!
To the guy in the video… my daughter was considering marrying a so called girlfriend … until I took her to the Bible ….. and no joke.. scared her straight. Now today she likes men! Believers do not compromise the word of GOD for mankind or our own wicked agendas! GOD ain’t playing either us!
I did this exact thing to my my granddaughter I took her to the word of God and explained it to her I raised her from a baby and I’m also a minister of the Gospel, I bind that evil and demonic spirit right then and there she received it , that’s a Jezebel spirit from that day she was delivered and excepted Christ that very day she was. very young at that time 14 years old to this day she’s a college graduate and a school teacher praise God she have a boyfriend and I give God all the Glory we as disciples of Jesus Christ it’s our duty to discipline because we love them and would love to see our love one in the New Jerusalem. Amen! Praise YAH
You are 100% correct I agree with having the hard conversation and letting them know that you don’t support their union but at the same time I would never even entertain the idea of going.
I went to my best friend's gay wedding. I prayed for them both to see the truth throughout the ceremony and reception. He also knew my stance before inviting me, I didn't have to have "the discussion". I wasn't convicted about going either. Had I been, I would've stayed home. I believe it's up to each individual to pray on it and decide.
I am in the sister gay wedding situation. She has not told me about the wedding. My mom informed me about it and told me that my sister thinks I will get mad. I knew instantly that I would not attend. By being there, I am signaling approval. I do not want to cause confusion by being there. My lack of attendance will instead glorify my Lord. Still praying for her and hope the wedding does not happen.
Context is key. Before Preston goes into his explanation, he says that if there were a way for God to allow him to attend, then this is how he thinks it would have to happen. As they wrap up the conversation in the full podcast, he ultimately states that he wouldn't attend.
My mom doesn't even go to babyshowers of her nieces or nephews if they weren't married, not even her own son my brother.... when it came into question why she doesn't, she lovingly and clearly explained why and everyone understood and even felt convicted and until this day we understand and she still has the family's utmost respect. The sin isn't the baby but the point is that we can not celebrate an act that was done outside of marriage (and a babyshower is a celebration of a new life coming into the family) but when that baby is born please believe she's gonna hold, kiss, hug, love on and pray over that baby.
@rlllatsyrc when it comes to the Lord, yes she is 😊 and the sweetest woman in the world, I watch her show the love of God to everyone everyday, all without compromising the Word. I wanna be like that......
I'm in my 20s and I remember after committing to Christ I left a lot of friendship because they were having kids outside of wedlock and I decided that it doesn't matter who I'm not going to the baby shower of anyone who is pregnant outside of marriage.
There’s so many things that we as Christians still partake in on a daily basis that we shouldn’t. I always say we need to be careful of the things that we deem as a greater sin than others.It’s by God’s grace that the entire world is even operating. Although I don’t agree with gay marriage I let it be known I don’t condone it, but I wouldn’t mind going to a gay wedding. I would go if I love the person not the sin.
Yes, I agree with Jackie also. “God can use your no!” It could be an opportunity to share His word regarding this and open up the door to the gospel of repentance and faith.
"Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh." Genesi 2:24 A marriage is between man and woman ONLY
I did not attend one of my sisters wedding, she didn't like the fact that I didn't attend but she understood my stance. The amazing thing, before I gave my life to Christ, she actually was one to talk to me about the Lord. So she knows what the Bible says about that. I love her dearly, but I love the Lord more!
Absolutely not! I don't care if it was a close family member! God says homosexuals wont get into heaven, so why would I go to an abomination of a ceremony? We have to get off the fence. Either we're with God or we're not. I can love someone and still stay true to my beliefs. They would just have to understand that.
Will liars get into Heaven? Will fornicators? Will thieves? Will gossips? Will those that hate their brother? Will anyone who sins make it? No, not without Jesus. But guess what? Being a Christian doesn’t mean you don’t sin. That is to say, you will choose to live a more righteous lifestyle. But God says not one of us is good, not one. That is the whole reason Jesus died for us in the first place. So careful what you speak, and in the tone in which you say it. People can repent from the sin of homosexuality but that doesn’t mean they won’t struggle with the temptation. Living for Christ means dying to self, everyday. We all fall short of that because we are fallen. The important thing is that we try. We are no better than the unsaved. The only difference between us and them is the grace of Jesus Christ and his gift of life, which we have accepted. So take care in how you judge others. When you are perfect, only then can you condemn another.
Condemnation is not right, and that is what I believe you're referring to @barbieanson3687. But if you say that we shouldn't convict, then we all sit still and basically bask in our sin. We are all sinners, however, there are certain things that if we do, we are just outrightly disrespecting God . A Christian deciding not to go to a gay wedding, is not saying "I'm perfect, you're not", it is saying at its core " This is what God says, and I believe and live by God ,and he doesn't agree with this partnership, and so I cannot either", and then they decide to not go to the wedding because as Christians everything we do has to reflect God, and going to that wedding will create some type of collision of understanding for the unbeliever, they basically think you support them, which is literally taking them in a different direction of allowing them to see the Truth.
If the reason for attending the wedding is to keep the door open for the relationship, remember that God is sovereign and can open doors in many ways beyond that particular action. You should start with faithfulness.
You can still communicate that you love them without affirming and publicly supporting their actions that don’t align with your beliefs. (Hypothetically) Are you going to celebrate if you attend an event like that even if you don’t agree?It makes more sense to make clear that you love the person without affirming their lifestyle and actions.
Exactly! If the reason for attending the wedding is to keep the door open for the relationship, it means I have made "relationship" my god and I don't truly understand or believe God and His Word. Also, many christians forget that it is Jesus by His Word through the Holy Spirit in righteousness that saves not we by our sentiments, we are only vessels and He is able to open many doors.

I’m sooooo happy you expounded on your feelings because that’s 100%. And yes going clubbing is a sin, it’s what we did before God saved and transformed us.
I totally agree with you...two points that added to my decision: 1. Marriage was created BEFORE sin entered the world. 2. The SPIRIT behind it. We are to love Jesus above all else, deny myself and my fear of being rejected. Ultimately , my decision not to go will have an eternal affect on all involved. I would have a loving conversation with them to explain my reason.
Ok Nick...i get your point. I still understand where Preston is coming from....but i love your take on it. The truth is, that community gets really upset when we don't go along with them. We dont get upset...we dont force, but they get angry n they try to force, instead of understanding that we don't agree with it.
When a person tries to push us as believers to compromise our relationship with God, it is questionable. Why would someone who loves you want you to be in judgement from God?
Amen, It’s interesting tho that the Catholic Church has been so supportive of gays especially in modern history. As a Catholic why do you think that is?
@@user-tx6zl1yq5s The Catholic Church has NEVER changed its doctrine… It has never stopped condemning sin according to Holy Scripture. It’s different that many Catholics choose to support it… We love & embrace the sinner, but not the sin. God bless! 🙏
Why is preserving the relationship only one sided? He said “someone that loves me” if someone truly loved you they wouldn’t even put you in that situation. They would respect your beliefs.
Why is this even a discussion. This “community” is such a small percentage of the population yet everything in society revolves around them these days. How about we stop calling it marriage because it’s not and stop giving them the attention that they crave.
I'm so glad you touched on this! I'm going thru this scenario right now with a nephew( changed into female) about to marry a male.. my brother as a I are very, very close (his son is trans) and they both really want me at that wedding and to call Him, a Her.i already told my brother I love him with all my heart a d would never mistreat him, however, I can't go to the wedding, or call him a her😢.. my mom doesn't like that about me😢my brother says he understands but still wants me there. So, this really helps..
I agree with Nick and Jackie. I love when it comes more from a biblical standpoint instead of what we feel or what we think is right. I get what the husband was saying and the thought process behind it but his led more down the road of compromising while trying to please others. To me if a person respects and love you then they will also respect your beliefs even if they may not fully agree with it.
Wonderful show! I agree with the young lady 100%. The young man is straddling the fence. I had a situation that happened with a close friend of the family. She asked my husband to come to her wedding. We told her no, and we explained to her why not because of our religious beliefs. We did tell her it doesn't change our relationship with her and love for her.
The guy with the hat is full of a soulish experience where he is overlooking the guidance of scripture. His stance would be a stumbling block to many, would taint the posture of sanctification we Christians are to have. Dude - miss the wedding and then witness to the people you feel led to talk to. Use wisdom, sir. It’s an example of application here. We are straining at gnats. You said it perfectly Nick at 13:00! Yes! There is another scenario.
I didn't go to my brothers wedding because he was an ordained Pastor marrying a non believer.. who he knew had no intention of becoming one. I was the only family member not to attend. However, I explained why but did it lovingly..as I needed to say truth but without any vitriol..His then wife was a lovely person... He received it with grace, what was so sad was his then Pastors married them.🤦🏽. and it lasted 10yrs and took him away from his destiny to this day. As believers we must lovingly but firmly stand on business.
Crazy timing. Totally agree. I attended my mom’s wedding this weekend and I was battling it a lot. Ended up having to repent being apart of it. Don’t support it but it was my mom.
That goes for any sin, would you go celebrate a sinner for their sin? If a sinner is throwing a party for committing adultery would you go? If a sinner were throwing a party for killing a cop would you go?
Amen and Amen, no compromise when it comes to the Word of the Lord. It's not always easy, but that's what pleases the Lord. People will respect you more for standing for truth even if they don't show it at the moment. The truth of the Word of God will always back itself up. True Love stands for what's right and doesn't compromise for no one.
I hope Nick sees this, because getting the entirety of any controversial conversation is absolutely necessary. People keep reacting to out of context clips.
I attended my cousin’s backyard wedding ceremony. I was there to support and love her and her wife. They know my stance and beliefs on the situation but that wasn’t the time for me to minister to her. I pray diligently for them both but also love them enough to let them exercise their free will
If i was asked by a member of my family this question my respons would be: "I love you with all my heart but i can not come. I would not compromate my walk with the Lord Jesus." Deeply after that discussion i know it will hurt me but i will cry all my tears and still be able to look up to God with no shame and pray that He gets access to this person's heart and bring them to Light.
God tells us to be Like him....He sat, and spoke with sinners, regardless of what when and where,it was about knowing ur place in Christ and spreading the gospel...😊
I agree with Nick. I could not go to a gay wedding simply because I would not dishonor God by publicly saying, "this is okay" when I know from His word it's not His will.
The gentleman’s (Jackie’s husband) response makes me nervous because his stance can be a slippery slope. God is what he refers to as “dogmatic” and has given us very clear lines as guideposts for holiness and godly righteousness even at the cost of losing family and friends.
@@SW-hy6be I agree. To me he sounds like he's just making excuses to work around the Gospel. We either follow God's laws, commandments, statutes or we don't. There is zero fence sitting.
I agree with him to a point. I wonder does he keep the same energy for walking into a movie theatre, going to a play, going to sports game, etc. about not going places that don’t edify God., because there are too many in this world to avoid at times.
For me to attend a Gay wedding is for me to call God a liar
Not happening !!!
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻💯💯
Exactly! 💯

Next its going to be ok to attend all abominable event. First sexual homosexual rituals, whats next child savrifice rituals or voodoo rituals?
Gay marriage is not the marriage instituted by God.
In God’s eyes it’s not a marriage.
not a marriage at all
Right!
Yes exactly
Exactly! Sure isn't and never will be!
This man all over the place. Its not a hard conversation. We not going to no gay wedding . Point blank.
He's definitely all over the place. Regardless you are a witness to the union and God holds you responsible for keeping the union together....I would not attend a gay wedding. Plus if a person respect you and your morals, values they wouldn't ask you and put you in that compromising situation.
He seemed as shaky as the camera 🎥 shot on him.
Absolutely I feel like he's trying to be a people pleaser and not a GOD pleaser stand on the word of GOD it's a strong loving No I still love you but No I can't do it
THAT PART!!!
Okayyyy 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I want to thank Jackie for having a clear and godly take on this matter
Yeeeesssssss
Yes 🙌🏼 she was gay & now saved the Lord opened her eyes to the Truth!! Amen 🙏🏻
Amen 🙌🏽💕💯‼️
Our neighbors got married a few years ago. They invited everyone in the neighborhood except us, out of respect. They knew we wouldn’t come because they know us. They love us and we love them, but because they knew us they would never want us to compromise our beliefs. And we wouldn’t.
That's the first word that stood out to me while listening to Preston.. COMPROMISE.
And I love how they have respect for you to not invite you bc they know your beliefs. That is awesome. 🤍
AMEN!
See and that’s great! Both: that they know & respect your beliefs and that you and your spouse have made your standards clear to your neighborhood. It’s great to see this type of respect and love, regardless of antithetical beliefs. 🙌🏽Praise God!
@karanowlin9506 I don't think he's compromising though. He is trying to use wisdom. Nick said he think he can keep that door open without attending. But Preston thinks that's the way he can keep the door open to be able to witness to her. He said he'd have a conversation with her....
@@karanowlin9506ok...so after continuing to listen to Preston, I understand where you're coming from when you said you think of the word compromise.....it does sound like that. He probably isn't aware of it...that he sounds as if he'll compromise
“Self proclaimed”. “Christians? We are not against human beings, however, going to a “Gay” wedding is endorsing what is not right.
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Yeah attending something like that is directly saying you support it by being there
Exactly, I wouldn't go even if it was a family member
So how many weddings have yall attended where the bride and groom were both virgins? How many weddings have yall attended where the groom has lusted after the women he sees in his porn collection? How many weddings have yall attended where there were no fornicators getting married? Or weddings of divorced people marrying another person? So many people in glass house ready to cast their stones at other people 😧
Please watch their full podcast episode before coming to the conclusion that they’re “self-proclaimed”
I’m in this exact situation with my sister and her partner. She asked if my daughters and I can be in her wedding. She wanted my girls to be flowers girls. I told her, you know I love you so much and I’m here for you 24/7 but I have to stand on Gods word and respectfully decline. I didn’t say it in a mean way or holier than tho way, I said it in a I KNOW WHERE I STAND WAY. My sister knows I love her but she also knows I have boundaries too and she respects that. I have to be an example to my girls and show them how to be a beautiful light for Christ, not lighting ⚡️⚡️⚡️like some Christians. The Holy Spirit will lead you and give you perfect words to say without compromising🙌🏽💯💕‼️
God bless and strengthen you.
We have to stand for something or fall for anything.
I’m reflecting on what Preston had said about being able to honor both God and his loved one at the same time but as soon as he said that the Holy Spirit brought this text to my remembrance:
“It is impossible for a person to serve two masters at the same time. You will be forced to love one and reject the other. One master will be despised and the other will have your loyal devotion. Your choice between God and the wealth of this world is no different. You must enthusiastically love one and definitively reject the other.””
Luke 16:13 TPT

Absolutely right!! Going to a gay wedding means that you are coming into an agreement with the marriage .
@@candylicious3024but what about if your Brother who is a Christian & now his Daughter has got a gay partner??? I’m finding it so hard, I hope they don’t get married, she has already got. 8 yr old daughter from a sperm donation 😢😢😢so I would appreciate your Prayers🙏it’s even hard at Christmas cuz if we celebrate at her place I don’t go as most of her gay friends come as well 😢so it’s a tricky situation as I have to show the love of Jesus to ALL💞I’m waiting for a word from HolySpirit 🙌🕊️🕊️🕊️
Verse in the Bible please?
I ask as this is important and I seek to know what verse/verses you refer too .
Thank you
This made me shout out loud..."JESUS"!!! You can't get anymore clearer, then that right there!!!!!
Here’s the thing! Coming from a person who was delivered from homosexuality; I DO NOT THINK YOU SHOULD GO TO A GAY WEDDING AS A BELIEVER. Going means that you affirm, confirm & support that union. I do understand the point of keeping the relationship alive but how can people truly be set free if you are supporting their sin & attending events that goes against God! Also you never know going to that wedding could cost you temptation. Those lust spirits could rub off on you due to you going. Even Jesus says your eyes are the lamp of your body. We’re called to be set apart & just because someone may feel broken about you attending doesn’t mean you go! The Lord could deliver them through you for standing on your faith & righteousness. The Bible says the enemy walks around like a roaring lion seeking whom to devour & that’s definitely an open door for him to come in! We must as Christian’s stand on the word ! ❤
Amen!🙏🏾 perfectly said❤
❤❤❤Amen, well said! Yes, God teaches us true Saints to love, but definitely not their sin. Be Bless
🔥🔥🔥
Amen! 🙏🏽
Exactly
You can love your family member and not attend their same s*x wedding. Prayer is powerful. Keep interceding for your loved ones.
I lost a good friend because I refused to go to his wedding, he was also my employer but I couldn’t go because I knew it was not of God. The word tells us if we love our parents more than we love God then we are not worthy of Him. This is just one of those times that a hard decision has to be made …. Will you stand or fold? I couldn’t and wouldn’t attend.
NEVER, even if it were my kids!
Right.

A Gay Wedding= A Celebration Of Sin 😢

How do you know your religion is from God

We think of the moment missed at a wedding but think of how they would be missed in heaven, we can't ignore what we KNOW.
Yet u do it everyday to excuse your own sins but judge other sins. There is no man who does not sin. Who are you to judge another? James 4:12 addresses God being the one true judge saying, “There is only one lawgiver and judge, he who is able to save and to destroy. But who are you to judge your neighbor?”
That’s a fine line Preston, straddling the fence. Jackie I’m glad that you standing firm with NO. Don’t play with fire Preston .
I attended my God daughters wedding but afterwards I repented. I love her but I love God more. I made a mistake.
Oh wow!!!! How did you feel during and afterwards??
Did you know it was wrong before you went and decided to repent afterwards?
How did you feel in the moment?
@@Alicia-or2jx god knows the intent of the heart , so yes, it wasn't easy to go but yes it's was a mistake and he repented , gods grace
My question to you since that was in the past is would you attend now at this point in your walk?
My sister asked me to be in her same sex wedding as a bridesmaid- I simply told her I’m honored but I decline because me attending or walking in the wedding means I agree. I said it with love and now we aren’t connected (her doing because I love her). She knows the truth and she knows where I’m at when she’s free from that covenant. God will work it out
At Least You Told Her The Truth
❤
Amen
There's no covenant 😂😂 sorry but that's the truth.
You're nit alone, I'm in a similar situation
Sadly, leaving me alone wasn't an option. They assumed I hate them and persecuted me. Some still do. Be observant
Nothing is as it seems in these times.
“neither be partaker of other men's sins: keep thyself pure.”
1 Timothy 5:22 KJV
“Abstain from all appearance of evil.”
1 Thessalonians 5:22 KJV
As a Christian who believes a lot of things are simple and even black and white..it bothers me when I hear other Christians philosophize issues and just talk, when there are scriptures that can clearly communicate what is the proper stance on an issue. It gives “I know better than the Bible.” Preston KNOWS how bad it looks for a believer to be at a gay wedding. He understands that it communicates agreement, yet is still finding a way to make it ok. Gods church should be a united front on these issues. It’s not that hard if we truly stick with the word.
The only way I could see the Lord allowing/telling a believer to attend a gay wedding, is if he wanted you to object to it openly, and preach the gospel.
I've been through this situation. My older brother got married to his long time boyfriend in 2018. Here's how I went about it.
I really didn't know what to do so I prayed and fasted a lot. I ended up going, here's why:
1. My brother has been gay since he was 14 and I was 12. Back then we were catholics and barely going to church. I got saved in 2014 when I was 27. Growing up we dealt with incest and a divorce. As west indians / caribbeans my brother was rejected a lot when he came out. My father even disowned him. As soon as he turned 18 he moved hours away from us to live his life on his own terms. I always felt I had to be present for him and visit him often to remind him that we love him, I love him and God loves him (even before being saved). I always felt like by being around and showing him love, he would know there's an open door for him in case he wants to get out.
2. The spirit of rejection is very real and wreaks havoc. IMO the devil uses our rejection to trap others in their sins. The spirit of rejection has always been manifested in my life and I know how hurtful it is. it makes you doubt your identity in Christ, surely you can't be used by God if people keep rejecting you. Because I know the depth of the hurt it can cause I chose to go to his "wedding". I chose once more to show him love. By rejecting him, I know he would feel like God rejected him, that the door was closed. And by closing this door I would not be able to give him biblical advice today, or tell him that I pray for him and that I love him.
3. I prayed and fasted on my way there and the day of (Esther fast before and fasted until 6pm the day of). I wanted to make sure that I was going there covered by the glory of Christ and the discernment to act the right way.
4. As Preston said, to me it wasn't a weeding at all. Picture this: He got married by a fairy, who sprinkled fairy dust on them. There was no mention of God.
5. My presence there was impactful to him and all his friends. They all knew I was a christian and I got a lot of questions on my presence there. Weirdly enough I found myself praying for a lot of them and quoting them Bible verses to help them through different situations they were going through. Needless to say I'm glad I was fasted and prayed up because the spiritual opposition there was OFF THE CHART! His medium friends and "spiritual" friends kept talking about my "aura", "energy" and "strength" and they all said they "couldn't read me" or "see me" 🤣
6. Which brings me to my last point: TERRITORY. I refuse to let the devil advance on my territory in my family. As for me and my house we will serve the Lord. If I give up and never show up the devil is winning. For them all they'd see is rejection from God. I'm going and standing STRONG anytime I can. I'm praying and fasting with all my might for my family. I'm correcting them gently and with biblical advice anytime I can, planting seeds and letting the Holy Spirit doing the rest. My goal is for all of them to be saved before I die, it's a mighty fight but I'm on the winning side.
There you have it, that's why I decided to go and how I went about it. I think that there's no right or wrong answer, you really have to pray about it and ask for discernment and guidance.
PS: english isn't my first language, sorry for any mistakes.

The Bible said as Christians, we have to turn our back on family members because God comes first; please Him first before anyone else. We can only have one master.
Yes 🙌🏾 that reminds me of The book of Luke chapter 9 when Jesus told the disciple to follow me and leave everything else behind because he wanted to go back home with his father and Jesus said let the dead buried the dead

Thank you, Amen
Who knew god was so divisive. He makes people gay then turns their family against them. How horrible
@@TJ-fv3vt why do people blame God when things are bad but give man praise when things are good?
We have an enemy and if people and their families open the door to sin that’s what happens
He warns people to not do these things for a reason.
I know these two who got married. One was my child and I did not attend and they understood why I didn’t attend. It didn’t tarnish our relationship. But I prayed against it, I prayed it didn’t last. It goes against my belief as a Christian. I would never accept this type of behavior.
That must have been hard but I agree it was the right thing to do. Stay strong In Jesus Name. ~Blessings
Thanks for sharing
Why is it that in order to prove a point people have to paint Christians as being harsh unsympathetic, uncaring sending people to hell.. that’s not always the case... The Bible says speak the truth in love. I like when the young lady said God can use your NO!
So this isn’t about a wedding per se, but my sister-in-laws daughter who is about 16 just recently started dating another young girl. Their last visit in town, they wanted me to meet up with the family. Mind you guys I’m just stepping into my journey with Christ. I’m a brand new believer in the last year. But there was something pulling me to not attend the family gathering. I told my husband I’m not comfortable meeting my nieces new “girlfriend”. My sister-in-law never knew why I wasn’t meeting up, just assumed I was busy. I’ve know my niece since she was about 10 and I just found it so bizarre that she’s now “dating” a girl. And now that I’m listening to other people say they won’t attend a same sex wedding because it will project some sort of approval, that hit the nail on the head for me. Idk… just my thoughts
Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the Lord. Psalm 1:1-3

Im glad you covered this topic Nick! This is a topic I know all to well, not in the sense of a weddjng but I had a friend last year that confronted me about my beliefs and i explained to her why I did not support the LGBTQ community and she stopped being my friend because of it. Ita hard to lose people that you care about but its important to stay obedient to what the Lord designed and layed out for us to follow.
It’s not a wedding if it’s Gay
Bingo
Exactly!

I chose to obey God not matter who is not agree with my believes. God created a man and a woman period.
We all know that, that's why gays exist though
exactly
I could tell these are two very intelligent people and they have probably really good banter between the two the they challenge each other. I love this
If the person getting married believes in your commitment to your faith and the word, they would probably not ask you and let you know why. Respect for your faith.
Oh no. We have to obey the word of God. No one can change that.
Amen
How do you know it's the word of God
@@Alexthomas-hd4xjBECAUSE IT IS THE WORD OF GOD
As a Christian, if you had a close family member or friend who asked you to go with them to murder someone, would you go? Same. Same
Wow! 😮 good analogy
Good point...!
That is a really good point! What would be the point in going? As Nick said, attending a wedding is to celebrate or show support. Why would a Christian celebrate something that is an abomination to God? Tough love requires a strong NO when a yes dishonors God.
Facts because sin is sin
So when Jesus agreed to come to the houses of tax collectors I suppose he was sinning.
I loved that episode of the Perry’s podcast and encourage everyone to go listen! But to answer the question would I go?… my husband simply said “ No, I’m a man of God”
My answer would be No also, but in my heart if I had the boldness to say what Preston said I would and be open to going but then would end up not going bc my husband said No! But, praying for the boldness to deliver the gospel to the people in this community!
Great convo Nick!
I agree with you wholeheartedly Nick! Thank you !
To the guy in the video… my daughter was considering marrying a so called girlfriend … until I took her to the Bible ….. and no joke.. scared her straight. Now today she likes men! Believers do not compromise the word of GOD for mankind or our own wicked agendas! GOD ain’t playing either us!
Glad You told Her cause my mom didn't tell me nothing
❤🙏❤️!
Go pops! Excellent correction. 👏👏👏
Scared her? I agree with you but you shouldn’t have done that out of fear -it’s a personal choice
I did this exact thing to my my granddaughter I took her to the word of God and explained it to her I raised her from a baby and I’m also a minister of the Gospel, I bind that evil and demonic spirit right then and there she received it , that’s a Jezebel spirit from that day she was delivered and excepted Christ that very day she was. very young at that time 14 years old to this day she’s a college graduate and a school teacher praise God she have a boyfriend and I give God all the Glory we as disciples of Jesus Christ it’s our duty to discipline because we love them and would love to see our love one in the New Jerusalem. Amen! Praise YAH
Unless one is led by God to go perhaps to minister to someone, I'd say Christians shouldn't attend such weddings.
Why does it matter if people you don't know are okay with it???
You are 100% correct I agree with having the hard conversation and letting them know that you don’t support their union but at the same time I would never even entertain the idea of going.
I went to my best friend's gay wedding. I prayed for them both to see the truth throughout the ceremony and reception. He also knew my stance before inviting me, I didn't have to have "the discussion". I wasn't convicted about going either. Had I been, I would've stayed home. I believe it's up to each individual to pray on it and decide.
There's no middle ground or negotiations where YHVH'S concerned.
I am in the sister gay wedding situation. She has not told me about the wedding. My mom informed me about it and told me that my sister thinks I will get mad. I knew instantly that I would not attend. By being there, I am signaling approval. I do not want to cause confusion by being there. My lack of attendance will instead glorify my Lord. Still praying for her and hope the wedding does not happen.
You’re not alone. My cousin had me in the same situation and I declined. God first🙏🏾
No reason to get mad. Just tell her you love her very much but that you’re sure she understands your convictions.
@@AMcDub0708 yes, thank you. I’m praying for the right words when the time comes. Definitely will come from a loving place.

I totally agree Nick it would be WRONG full stop. Love your platform keep up the good work 👍 Vanessa from New Zealand ❤
Context is key. Before Preston goes into his explanation, he says that if there were a way for God to allow him to attend, then this is how he thinks it would have to happen. As they wrap up the conversation in the full podcast, he ultimately states that he wouldn't attend.
Well God wouldn’t so there’s no point in talking about such compromises
@@AMcDub0708 what are you talking about?
thank you for giving the proper context.
@@AMcDub0708 you don't know that
Thank you because people do not watch the entire video.
My mom doesn't even go to babyshowers of her nieces or nephews if they weren't married, not even her own son my brother.... when it came into question why she doesn't, she lovingly and clearly explained why and everyone understood and even felt convicted and until this day we understand and she still has the family's utmost respect. The sin isn't the baby but the point is that we can not celebrate an act that was done outside of marriage (and a babyshower is a celebration of a new life coming into the family) but when that baby is born please believe she's gonna hold, kiss, hug, love on and pray over that baby.
Wow, she was a no-nonsense type of woman. 😂❤ Reminds me of my Grandma… she loved hard and always put Jesus first. Amen!
@rlllatsyrc when it comes to the Lord, yes she is 😊 and the sweetest woman in the world, I watch her show the love of God to everyone everyday, all without compromising the Word. I wanna be like that......
I'm in my 20s and I remember after committing to Christ I left a lot of friendship because they were having kids outside of wedlock and I decided that it doesn't matter who I'm not going to the baby shower of anyone who is pregnant outside of marriage.
There’s so many things that we as Christians still partake in on a daily basis that we shouldn’t. I always say we need to be careful of the things that we deem as a greater sin than others.It’s by God’s grace that the entire world is even operating. Although I don’t agree with gay marriage I let it be known I don’t condone it, but I wouldn’t mind going to a gay wedding. I would go if I love the person not the sin.
Period nick !!! Thank you!!!
Jackie is on point. I agree with her reasoning on why she wouldn’t go. I would speak to the person on why I wouldn’t go.
Yes, I agree with Jackie also. “God can use your no!” It could be an opportunity to share His word regarding this and open up the door to the gospel of repentance and faith.
"Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh."

Great conversation
Going to a same-sex wedding as a Christian whether it is someone we’re close to them or not; it can taint our witness heavy.
Make a stand for God in his word you go to a gay wedding that mean you in agreement with they sinful lifestyle!💯🙌🏾
I agree with what you said Nick you explain it quite well,I wouldn’t go but have conversation.
I agree with you brother Nick!
I did not attend one of my sisters wedding, she didn't like the fact that I didn't attend but she understood my stance. The amazing thing, before I gave my life to Christ, she actually was one to talk to me about the Lord. So she knows what the Bible says about that. I love her dearly, but I love the Lord more!
NO WAY! STAND FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS. 🙏🏻
That’s it Nick! “I’m going to be just as hurt or even more hurt that you’re choosing this life over the life God has for you!!” THIS!!
I’m actually glad that they discussed this topic! In today’s world,this is very common now!! The Perry’s podcast is so good!
Absolutely Not
Going to a place where sin is being glorified is SINN‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
short answer - absolutely not
Absolutely not! I don't care if it was a close family member! God says homosexuals wont get into heaven, so why would I go to an abomination of a ceremony? We have to get off the fence. Either we're with God or we're not. I can love someone and still stay true to my beliefs. They would just have to understand that.
Amen and and AMEN
Will liars get into Heaven? Will fornicators? Will thieves? Will gossips? Will those that hate their brother? Will anyone who sins make it? No, not without Jesus. But guess what? Being a Christian doesn’t mean you don’t sin. That is to say, you will choose to live a more righteous lifestyle. But God says not one of us is good, not one. That is the whole reason Jesus died for us in the first place. So careful what you speak, and in the tone in which you say it. People can repent from the sin of homosexuality but that doesn’t mean they won’t struggle with the temptation. Living for Christ means dying to self, everyday. We all fall short of that because we are fallen. The important thing is that we try. We are no better than the unsaved. The only difference between us and them is the grace of Jesus Christ and his gift of life, which we have accepted. So take care in how you judge others. When you are perfect, only then can you condemn another.
Condemnation is not right, and that is what I believe you're referring to @barbieanson3687. But if you say that we shouldn't convict, then we all sit still and basically bask in our sin. We are all sinners, however, there are certain things that if we do, we are just outrightly disrespecting God . A Christian deciding not to go to a gay wedding, is not saying "I'm perfect, you're not", it is saying at its core " This is what God says, and I believe and live by God ,and he doesn't agree with this partnership, and so I cannot either", and then they decide to not go to the wedding because as Christians everything we do has to reflect God, and going to that wedding will create some type of collision of understanding for the unbeliever, they basically think you support them, which is literally taking them in a different direction of allowing them to see the Truth.
My niece stop talking to me because I wouldn’t attend her gay wedding. 🙌🏼
People love to make light of sins that they themselves may partake in, but want to sledgehammer the topic of homosexuality.
If the reason for attending the wedding is to keep the door open for the relationship, remember that God is sovereign and can open doors in many ways beyond that particular action. You should start with faithfulness.
You can still communicate that you love them without affirming and publicly supporting their actions that don’t align with your beliefs. (Hypothetically) Are you going to celebrate if you attend an event like that even if you don’t agree?It makes more sense to make clear that you love the person without affirming their lifestyle and actions.
Exactly! If the reason for attending the wedding is to keep the door open for the relationship, it means I have made "relationship" my god and I don't truly understand or believe God and His Word. Also, many christians forget that it is Jesus by His Word through the Holy Spirit in righteousness that saves not we by our sentiments, we are only vessels and He is able to open many doors.
@@OfficialEmekaOrji 1 John 1:5-6 "This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. If we claim to have fellowship with him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth.

No As a Christian I would not affirm in any way same sex marriage or relationship
I totally agree with you...two points that added to my decision: 1. Marriage was created BEFORE sin entered the world. 2. The SPIRIT behind it. We are to love Jesus above all else, deny myself and my fear of being rejected. Ultimately , my decision not to go will have an eternal affect on all involved. I would have a loving conversation with them to explain my reason.
Ok Nick...i get your point. I still understand where Preston is coming from....but i love your take on it. The truth is, that community gets really upset when we don't go along with them. We dont get upset...we dont force, but they get angry n they try to force, instead of understanding that we don't agree with it.
When a person tries to push us as believers to compromise our relationship with God, it is questionable. Why would someone who loves you want you to be in judgement from God?
Because they're blind to it, and they don't understand where we are coming from as Christians
I’m a practicing Catholic and the answer is absolutely NOT! If I attended, I’d be saying “I agree w/ this sin & I don’t care abt your souls.”
Amen, It’s interesting tho that the Catholic Church has been so supportive of gays especially in modern history. As a Catholic why do you think that is?
It's the Anglican church that has been supportive.

Why is preserving the relationship only one sided? He said “someone that loves me” if someone truly loved you they wouldn’t even put you in that situation. They would respect your beliefs.
This young lady is really anointed, I really like her 🙏🏾❤️
Why is this even a discussion. This “community” is such a small percentage of the population yet everything in society revolves around them these days. How about we stop calling it marriage because it’s not and stop giving them the attention that they crave.
Well said
I'm so glad you touched on this! I'm going thru this scenario right now with a nephew( changed into female) about to marry a male.. my brother as a I are very, very close (his son is trans) and they both really want me at that wedding and to call Him, a Her.i already told my brother I love him with all my heart a d would never mistreat him, however, I can't go to the wedding, or call him a her😢.. my mom doesn't like that about me😢my brother says he understands but still wants me there. So, this really helps..
You are doing well 🤍 God sees you trying
I agree with Nick and Jackie. I love when it comes more from a biblical standpoint instead of what we feel or what we think is right. I get what the husband was saying and the thought process behind it but his led more down the road of compromising while trying to please others. To me if a person respects and love you then they will also respect your beliefs even if they may not fully agree with it.
Seems like the guy is riding the fence. Let your yes be yes and no be no. I am not compromising the word of God for anyone.
🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯
Confused me honestly.
No, I would not be a witness to a gay marriage.
There is no such thing as a “gay marriage” just as there isn’t a Muslim, Jewish, Christian mixed Church, and yes, I have heard of one of those.
When Diddy wants to party you got to tell Diddy NO!! 😂🤣 I can’t go to that type of “wedding“ family and all I would have to say No. 🤷🏽♀️
Wonderful show! I agree with the young lady 100%. The young man is straddling the fence. I had a situation that happened with a close friend of the family. She asked my husband to come to her wedding. We told her no, and we explained to her why not because of our religious beliefs. We did tell her it doesn't change our relationship with her and love for her.
Thats awful. You showed hate towards your friend.
The guy with the hat is full of a soulish experience where he is overlooking the guidance of scripture.
His stance would be a stumbling block to many, would taint the posture of sanctification we Christians are to have.
Dude - miss the wedding and then witness to the people you feel led to talk to. Use wisdom, sir.
It’s an example of application here. We are straining at gnats.
You said it perfectly Nick at 13:00! Yes! There is another scenario.
I like her point of view. It’s not a lukewarm Christian response and it perseveres a relationship as best as possible.
I didn't go to my brothers wedding because he was an ordained Pastor marrying a non believer.. who he knew had no intention of becoming one. I was the only family member not to attend.
However, I explained why but did it lovingly..as I needed to say truth but without any vitriol..His then wife was a lovely person... He received it with grace, what was so sad was his then Pastors married them.🤦🏽. and it lasted 10yrs and took him away from his destiny to this day.
As believers we must lovingly but firmly stand on business.
Crazy timing. Totally agree. I attended my mom’s wedding this weekend and I was battling it a lot. Ended up having to repent being apart of it. Don’t support it but it was my mom.
No I even have a daughter who is living with a woman . I couldn't do it even for her.. it goes against the bible
Hopefully they’re just roommates and nothing else 😅
That goes for any sin, would you go celebrate a sinner for their sin? If a sinner is throwing a party for committing adultery would you go? If a sinner were throwing a party for killing a cop would you go?
Amen and Amen, no compromise when it comes to the Word of the Lord. It's not always easy, but that's what pleases the Lord. People will respect you more for standing for truth even if they don't show it at the moment. The truth of the Word of God will always back itself up. True Love stands for what's right and doesn't compromise for no one.
I totally agree with your perspective.
My relationship with my Lord is first above everything. I couldn’t attend that’s just me
Bro. Nick...make sure people know that by the end of Preston &Jackie's conversation Preston had a change of heart.
I hope Nick sees this, because getting the entirety of any controversial conversation is absolutely necessary. People keep reacting to out of context clips.
You're right! No compromise! Light or darkness ?
I attended my cousin’s backyard wedding ceremony. I was there to support and love her and her wife. They know my stance and beliefs on the situation but that wasn’t the time for me to minister to her. I pray diligently for them both but also love them enough to let them exercise their free will
If i was asked by a member of my family this question my respons would be: "I love you with all my heart but i can not come. I would not compromate my walk with the Lord Jesus." Deeply after that discussion i know it will hurt me but i will cry all my tears and still be able to look up to God with no shame and pray that He gets access to this person's heart and bring them to Light.
NO WAY! I REFUSE. I STAND FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS.
God tells us to be Like him....He sat, and spoke with sinners, regardless of what when and where,it was about knowing ur place in Christ and spreading the gospel...😊
I agree with Nick. I could not go to a gay wedding simply because I would not dishonor God by publicly saying, "this is okay" when I know from His word it's not His will.
I agree with everything you said Nick Jones, I would rather lose that relationship with a family member or friend than to oppose GOD.
The gentleman’s (Jackie’s husband) response makes me nervous because his stance can be a slippery slope. God is what he refers to as “dogmatic” and has given us very clear lines as guideposts for holiness and godly righteousness even at the cost of losing family and friends.
@@SW-hy6be I agree. To me he sounds like he's just making excuses to work around the Gospel. We either follow God's laws, commandments, statutes or we don't. There is zero fence sitting.
I agree with him to a point. I wonder does he keep the same energy for walking into a movie theatre, going to a play, going to sports game, etc. about not going places that don’t edify God., because there are too many in this world to avoid at times.
