Enemy Using Victoria's Secret

In Dumping Co's Who Support Your Disbelief, I shed light on how not spending money at an establishment because of their beliefs, won't solve problems. The inspiration came from an article regarding the CEO of Starbucks, who didn't want the business of anyone who believed in traditional over gay marriage. Shortly after, the Lord revealed a different perspective with a more disturbing situation; a letter that was written from the father of a 3 year old girl, to Victoria's Secret, regarding their new product line about to launch called "Bright Young Things".

Dumping Co's Who Support Your Disbeliefs?

Recently I saw an article posted on Facebook, regarding the CEO of Starbucks, who stated if anyone supports traditional marriages over gay marriages, they don't want your business. I thought this was a little odd; as typically it's the customers who don't want to do business with the company, not the other way around.

You are already right with God (righteous) if you accepted Jesus Christ. Repentance means "change your mind"; saying, "Lord, I'm done going my own way and I admit I need you." It is for those who have turned their backs on the Lord, which includes non-believers; but it's also for believers who decided they didn't want God anymore. As a believer, when you sinned, were you trying to turn your back on Him? Did you no longer want him or his will? If not, then you don't need to "repent".
