Gag on Gaga
Mark Sayers and I have the cover stories on Lady Gaga in the most recent Christian Research Journal.
Should we gag on someone God loves ardently, even if the person isn't presently manifesting the best of what He created that human being to be? Of course, if I were a Calvinist, I'd have to give pause to the idea that God loves absolutely everyone in the first place. But I'm not, so I do.
I gag on her behavior and worldview, but I do pray for her and wish I could present Christ to her face to face--and I am a Calvinist. I have no idea if she is elect or not.
