There are times when you should put your foot down, be honest for once and reject bigotry and prejudice. @sam_adeyemi's tweet is a disgrace.

Pastor Sam Adeyemi reminds me of the Pastor that said that God sent the flood in America to Gay people.His house was flooded after :)

@sam_adeyemi Let us be careful and sensitive to the diverse audiences that read our messages daily. #wisdom
