Well, obviously we have the Word of God doing what it’s been said to do!

All kidding aside, Antoine Dodson of ” Bed Intruder Song” fame (I still watch that one to this day!!!) recently drew public attention in a very different way. The previously unashamedly homosexual Antoine stated on Facebook that he no longer wants to be homosexual after reading that it was wrong in the Bible. This has been reported everywhere. Google it! But simply by viewing the headlines alone, it has not been received well at all!

There are people thinking he’s just trying for fifteen more minutes of fame. Some express concern for how many people he’s going to anger. An interviewer even attacked him sarcastically saying, “so you’re just going to pray the gay away!??” In response, Antoine just stood his ground and explained why he did what he did. The Bible. He is reading his Bible.

Now let’s be real. He still has much to learn based on his comments which are somewhat scattered. But the common denominator is the Word of God. He will lose friends, followers, popularity. If he truly desires men he will have to fight temptation daily.

When looking at this story, a few scriptures come to mind.

I Peter 4:3-4 NKJV

For we have  spent enough of our past lifetime in doing the will of the Gentiles—when we walked in lewdness, lusts, drunkenness, revelries, drinking parties, and abominable idolatries. In regard to these, they think it strange that you do not run with them in the same flood of dissipation, speaking evil of you.

II Timothy 3:16 NKJV

All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.

The Word of God is all powerful and can change any who honestly looks into it’s contents and realizes their life does not meet His standard. And when you do change, the world may persecute you. Expect that. But press on.

To Antoine I say, dude, you are on the right track. Keep reading that Word. Study it faithfully. Finish what you have started. God will see that you are seeking.

To the media I say, position this as big news in a good way. Everybody makes a big deal and says someone was brave when they “come out”. It’s so widely accepted. Is it really that brave anymore?

Not everybody will agree with this blog and that’s fine. Just some thoughts from your friendly Christian Music Pusher.
