God Loves Uganda Page #3

and she comes back

a couple weeks later

and she says, "God showed me

that you're married

to a people group.

You're married

to a nation."

The next of our saints,

you are the light of the world.

Come on, it is time to come out

as a light of the world

and shine to the world and say,

"Hey, I got a new life

through Christ.

He's telling me I'm blessed

because of me."

And I believe if we walk

in the scripture

and apply these principles

into our lives

we are going to bring

this nation

to a place called change.

Which is the power of God,

to say no to our flesh,

to say no to that old sin nature

and to say yes to God.

And it's a choice,

as I said earlier,

we have a choice.

And, and we're here

because He wants you

to be the leaders

of your next generation,

finishing and taking Uganda

to that next place.

Hallelujah, Hallelujah.

Missionaries have come here

mostly from the United States

and when they come here

there's no control,

there's no like, uh,

state controlled agencies

trying to limit you

to what you can do,

but instead everybody

from the state

to the civilian,

they will tell you

"Oh, you can't do that,

oh, you can't do that."

So it's been such a blessing

to see these missionaries

come to Uganda and add on

their contributions.

Good morning, everyone.

My name is Scott Lively.

I am a pastor with

a degree in theology

and after twenty years

of observing homosexuality

I have understood things

that few people really have...

The gay movement doesn't care

about what you think, right?

They know they're not

gonna change your views.

They're focused

on the young ones.

Homosexuality does not

benefit the society,

it harms the people

that engage it.

It harm-, it harms the society

that embraces it.

Now that said,

so we need public policy

that discourages homosexuality.

Discourages it.

Good evening and welcome

to "Spotlight",

I am Martin Ssempa.

My guest today is

Mr. Scott Lively.

And I'm glad you've also

come with your wife,

Sister Lively, good to have you.

I'll be asking Scott

what we can do

in light of the fact

that homosexual groups

are actively growing

through recruitment.

That is, recruiting your child,

your daughter,

into a homosexual,

even lesbian club.

Scott, what can we do?

It's become like

Sodom and Gomorrah.

And my message to you,

my message to Uganda,

is don't let that happen here.

As Christians

we're to step forward

and to assert ourselves to,

to compete for authority

in society.

So that as people who are

guided by the Holy Spirit

and who have the truth of God

that are making the rules,

that are setting the policies.

As the scripture says,

when the righteous rule,

the people rejoice.

Whether it's homosexuality,

whether it's murder,

whether it's racial hatred,

whether it's corruption,

sin is sin.

Homosexuality is incompatible

with the Word of God.

In this country we cherish

no other God.

And if you're proclaiming

that other God,

you want to stick to it

faithfully.

A hundred or so years ago

Europe, America,

brought us the Gospel.

Now, that Gospel was planted

on the soil

in the hearts of Africans.

We received it, it has grown,

it has born fruit.

The controversial bill

proposed death sentence

for homosexuality

continues to attract

international concern.

Ndorwa West MP David Bahati

is a man

whose idea of criminalizing

homosexuality in Uganda

has been received with

lots of joy by locals,

and an equal measure of scorn

by the international community.

Truly we can agree that it

is unconscionable

to target gays and lesbians

for who they are

whether it's here

in the United States or,

as Hillary mentioned,

more extremely

in odious laws that

are being proposed,

most recently in Uganda.

We have a lot of admiration

to president Obama.

He is a man who inspired

the whole world,

a man who stood on

the platform of change.

But we think homosexuality

is not the change

the world is looking for.

It's the evil that

the world should fight.

When Bush was in,

America said no.

When Obama came in,

Obama quickly started

supporting homosexuality.

There are people

in the western world

who don't agree

with homosexuals.

Are you working together with...

We are working as partners.

This is where politicians

and prayer people

work together.

Now I want to warn

any politician

that if they dare to come

and support homosexuality

they're committing

political suicide.

The government is the government

and they have a responsibility

to do what they wanna do.

Right now is, the law says

no homosexuality in this nation.

God, it's an abomination to God.

And I, I will stand in agreement

that they should not

open the doors

because God doesn't want it.

He wants it stopped.

And Uganda's trying

to take a position.

Hallelujah.

God said that iron sharpens iron

and the purpose is

to sharpen one another

because as the pressure goes,

as the pressure gets on

it's gonna be harder

and harder to stand.

God is doing something mighty

in this nation

and He's using

each one of you to do it

so that you will be strong

and not walk in compromise.

Woo, thank you.

Thank you, Jesus,

thank you, Jesus.

I'm here teaching and if

they're not gonna learn

what God has given me to teach

and they wanna continue

in their ways

then I have to let them go

and let God deal with them.

Every nation has issues

and has sins,

but I believe Uganda's

at a crossroads right now.

And I thought wow,

we need to bring

Lou Engle and The Call

to Uganda.

1999, January,

I was crying to God,

"How can I turn America

back to You?"

And the Lord spoke to my heart,

"Call the youth of America

to fast and pray"

with God's promise that He

would turn things around

if you would gather together,

that became the burning

vision in my heart,

that is to launch

the movement of The Call.

I believe it is about

turning American back to God.

I met Joanna Watson

in Kansas City,

we talked about what

The Call was

and when she began to

talk about Uganda

my heart was kind of burning

because,

because I've heard its history.

I got excited, let's do

The Call in Uganda.

And just a couple weeks

before I found out

that I was heading into

this great bill controversy

and I can't tell you

the pressure

that was on me from some folks

to say don't go,

and others saying, "Lou,

you just need to go."

And I just determined that

I was just going to,

to keep my word.

We call upon our Parliament

not to waste time,

but to pass the bill

and say Uganda, say no

to homosexuality.

We know that Uganda has been

under tremendous pressure,

the church.

We felt that same pressure.

And I felt like The Call

is to come and join

with the church of Uganda.

To encourage you

that in the nations

you are showing courage

to take a stand

for righteousness.

What I found out

is that NGOs,

the UN,

and UNICEF

were coming in and

promoting an agenda
