Pastors worried that the hate-crime label could be put on sermons against homosexuality.http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/politics/4766805.htmlWASHINGTON — A coalition of conservative black pastors is lobbying Congress to vote against a bill that would extend federal hate-crimes laws to cover gays, saying they fear it would prevent them from preaching against homosexuality.Several pastors last week urged House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers, D-Mich., a sponsor of the bill, and other members of the Congressional Black Caucus to vote against the Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act.They say it would pin the hate-crime label on their sermons against homosexuality, which they consider a sin."This law can be applied in the way that can keep the church from preaching the gospel," said Bishop Harry Jackson, pastor of Hope Christian Church in Lanham, Md.

John 15:18 - If the world hate you, ye know that it hated Me before it hated you.I John 3:13 - Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you.But we should not be worried about our life, even how to speak...Matthew 6:34 - Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.Matthew 10:19 - But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak.Lovest thou in Christ Jesus our Lord and Saviour.

We as Christians must remember that the spirit ofanti-christ is alive and well in the world today.The spirit that opposes the word of God as truth anddenies our Lord Jesus as saviour is at work.We must contend for the faith more now in theselast days then possibly ever before.Praise and Glory to our Lord Jesus, now and forever.Your Brother in Christ,Goshen
