CALLING LOVE HATE AND HATE LOVE

by | Jul 21, 2025 | Calling love hate and hate love, Mario Murillo Ministries | 114 comments

Chip and Joanna Gaines have a new show that features a gay couple with children. That couple said their mission on this new show is to “normalize” gay marriages with children.

There is no way to deny it—this is a direct assault on Christian values. This is the next level of the LGBTQ agenda to infiltrate and remove Bible-based faith in America.

Here’s the shocker: Chip and Joanna would seem to be the last people you would think would have any part of this. Chip and Joanna are good people – kind, moral, and aligned with American values.

But as I will show you, at this point they are calling love hate and hate love.

Now Satan is using their fame as a Trojan horse.

In other words, this is a masterstroke by Satan. Chip and Joanna became famous because of their show Fixer Upper. They grew an audience based on faith and family values.

Now Satan is using their fame as a Trojan horse. Trojan Horse refers to a deceptive strategy or trick designed to undermine or destroy an enemy or opponent from within by appearing harmless or benign on the surface.

As one person responded to them “Sorry, @chipgaines and @joannagaines. You can’t wrap sin in shiplap and call it wholesome.” The disaster is that many believers can wrap sin in shiplap and call it wholesome. (Shiplap is a type of wooden siding or interior paneling characterized by overlapping horizontal boards.)

Their mission is to “normalize same-sex families” through the series.

In a podcast interview by Queerty, the gay couple featured in the show didn’t hesitate to say that their mission was to “normalize same-sex families” through the series.

However, Christianity uncoupled from the Bible is a disaster. And it is alarming how far this mutation has spread.

Modern preaching created these mutants. Believers who do not know what the Bible says. Here are the two most important Bible truths we need in the Chip and Joanna affair:

  1. What does the Bible say about homosexuality?
  2. What did Jesus mean by Matthew 7:1 “Judge not, that you be not judged.”

Here is what the Bible says about homosexuality:

Romans 1:26-27, “For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.” The Bible’s opinion is very clear.

1 Corinthians 6:9-10, “Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God.”

Finally we come to the verse that is used against us when we call out sin: Matthew 7:1, “Judge not that you be not judged.”

The simple meaning of this verse is that you are not to impersonate an officer of the court.

Bottom line: The Greek text for Matthew 7:1-2 uses a verb form of ‘krino’ (to judge) and a noun form of ‘krino’ (condemnation) to express a harsh way of passing final judgment on people.

But Matthew 7:1-2 is not a prohibition against using discernment or your intelligence to tell people or events by their fruit.

When Jesus condemned judging, he wasn’t at all implying we should never make judgments about anyone. After all, a few verses later, Jesus himself calls certain people “pigs” and “dogs” (Matt 7:6) and “wolves in sheep’s clothing” (7:15). … What Jesus condemns is a critical and judgmental spirit, an unholy sense of superiority.

Those that tell you ‘not to judge’, and quote Matthew 7:1, grossly out of context, are often some of the most mean-spirited, judgmental souls you could ever meet. 

Jesus commanded us to examine ourselves first for the problems we so easily see in others. Only then can we help remove the speck in another’s eye – which, incidentally, assumes that a problem exists and must be confronted.

Those that tell you ‘not to judge’, and quote Matthew 7:1, grossly out of context, are often some of the most mean-spirited, judgmental souls you could ever meet.

It’s not, of course, that they don’t want anyone to judge anything, because they want very much to judge and condemn your commitment to lovingly speak and practice your Christian worldview.

You see how these tolerance rules work? We must tolerate them, but they don’t have to tolerate us. Their logic is consistent, anyway.

And finally, Chip put out this horrible, misguided statement on X:

“Talk, ask qustns, listen.. maybe even learn. Too much to ask of modern American Christian culture. Judge 1st, understand later/never. It’s a sad Sunday when ‘non believers’ have never been confronted with hate or vitriol until they are introduced to a modern American Christian.”

See what he is doing? We are guilty of vitriol and hate. But in his mind he is not judging.

The Bible, Chip, says in Isaiah 5:20, “Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil;
who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!”

It is not love, it is hate, to condone something that God hates. And it is not hate to speak the truth in love.

    Mario Murillo is right because his source is scripture from the Bible, which is never wrong.

    • Linda Duncan

      Brother, I get that comment shoved in my face alot if I say something on fb that someone has posted that is wrong, immoral or not of God. I will stand for Jesus as long as I live, these misguided souls need Jesus, I won’t back down from the truth. If the bible calls it SIN, it’s SIN!! God bless you brother for standing up for what you know is RIGHT!!

    • Karl Miller

      So well said Mario! We are seeing the fruit of a culture that wants to pick and choose what they see as good apart from God. What a bitter harvest indeed when evil is called good and our children pay the price! Thanks for speaking the truth loud and clear!

    • Diane

      Amen! 100% truth! You judge the fruit of a person. And it’s too bad that this man and woman have caved to Satan! Which really kind of tells me that they never had a true and genuine relationship with Jesus Christ! Truly sad! Hope they repent and give their lives to Jesus so they can get into heaven and not go to hell! Father God I plead the blood of Jesus over the show and call it no void and ineffective in any child that may be watching it! And Satan in the authority of the Lord Jesus Christ and in Jesus’s name I command you to take the show down now in Jesus name. It is written that I have been given Authority over snakes and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy and nothing shall by any means harm me. I stand on your word Lord and I thank you that the show is being shut down immediately in Jesus name. And I decree and declare it will not seed and produce a crop in any child’s heart or mind that is watching it in Jesus name. Every word that is said I commanded to drop to the ground and be unfruitful. And I plead the blood of Jesus over every child that may watch this show and it will not penetrate into their hearts what they see from now until the show is shut down! And I decree and declare that over every child from here to the furthest corner of the Earth in Jesus name amen.

  2. Ann Carroll

    Mario, thank you for bringing the kingdom perspective to this issue. The Trojan horse was an excellent illustration. You have been bold and fearless, a trusted source of Biblical truth and encouragement for me. Let us be found faithful!

    • Michael Langford

      Mario thank you for teaching us and showing us interpretations of scripture that helped to open our eyes. This allows us to see the truth of what is really going on. Miss quoting and misinterpreting the scriptures is satan’s biggest trick to fooling people

    • Pat Reed

      Thank you Mario for speaking Truth in love. Chip Joanna are wrong. I praying for my granddaughter. Aubrey is her name.

  3. Ange

    Your are right Mario .
    Thankyou for speaking the truth in love .
    God bless you
    Ange

    • Gloria Valadez

      It’s too sad that after being blessed greatly Chip& Joanna decide to let satan enter in opening the door where all kinds of demon activity will surely start, do not say your Christians & go against the Word of God. Be careful because you have children that the enemy will target & IF you loved them you wouldn’t have allowed this to enter anywhere around your family! I will pray for you but never see anything pertaining to Magnolia until you realize what you have done & follow Jesus the way He demands.

  4. Wendy

    Absolutely Mario, agree with all you’ve said, this is concerning to say the least! Put no confidence in the flesh, in our own or any one else’s, we need to be wholly dependent on the Lord and His living incorruptible seed!

    Jesus continue to bless you and your Ministry, from Australia

  5. Debra

    I pray that God gives me Discernment to know evil from good and right from wrong. I pray that God will stay strong in my spirit to help me overcome spiritual adversity.

  6. Debra

    I pray that God gives me Discernment to know evil from good and right from wrong. I pray that God will stay strong in my spirit to help me overcome spiritual adversity. I pray for God’s healing of a cyst on my arm and a large lypoma on my back to be healed by God’s grace. Can I get prayers?

  7. Candace Robinson

    Thank you for this!
    My heart grieves! I had watched ads for this new show which I had been excited to see. All SEEMED normal until I caught wind of a ‘controversy’ and the exposure of who the families on the new show are. THEN I SAW CHIP GAINE’S RESPONSE TO THE OUTCRY. I made the EASY decision to NOT be a supporter of this and wont be watching! THIS ARTICLE IS A GREAT WAY TO GET THE WORD OUT TO THOSE WHO DONT KNOW THE “BIG SECRET” YET
    😥

  8. Meg Leary

    Thank you Brother Mario, I have always stood unsure what to say when people accuse me of judging someone who lives in the alphabet world. I don’t judge them because I fear for their lives but have been hindered as to what to say for fear that I am judging them according to their viewpoint.
    Sin is sin if it is against what God requires of us and what is written in His Word and is our blueprint for life,

  9. Kathy Broussard

    Thank you, Mario, for bringing light in the darkness by exposing deception by bringing God’s Word to light!!
    Never stop preaching TRUTH!!
    May God continue to bless you and use you for the advancement of His Kingdom!!

    • NickT

      The Bible is truth and is against this perverted life style.
      Yes we love all people including the gay, etc.. But we hate the sinful life style which is un natural.
      The Bible states this is truly wrong. May they come to truly change their ways and follow Jesus in truth and love.

  10. Susan Ogilvie

    I think they’ve always been wushu washy believers I stopped watching them a long time ago. I felt a compromising spirit on them.

  11. Edwin Sather

    Thank you for analizing Satan’s strategy..
    You’re very much appreciated

  12. VALERIE J NICHOLSON

    WOW, thanks for sharing, I don’t watch their show or follow them, but they are decieved. We LOVE everyone but as a “born again Christian” as a follower of JESUS , we do not embrace sin. They have bowed their knee to the evil spirit of this world system. Prayers for their release, THE HOLY SPIRIT NEEDS TO CONVICT THEM AND SPEAK DIRECTLY TO THEIR HEART!

  13. Joseph Souhlas

    Mario very well done they have been judged by the Lord’s Word. That stands FOREVER and Ever. Praise the Lord

  14. Lloyd Miller

    Absolutely twisted mindset.
    Modern tolerance preaching has opened the way for gay celebration. Mainline denominations now join gay pride events, celebrating and advertising the abominable practice; evidence of error and lack of surrender to Christ.

  15. Debi Foster

    Perfect response 🙏. So sad they have tried t normalize these men. Praying for them and the innocent 2 little boys.

  16. Linda

    Christians need your kind of boldness.

  17. Pearl Dalton

    Preach the Bible, because it’s Truth will set the captives Free. And will pray 🙏 against this program 🙏 that wants their evil agenda to filter to destroy America’s future generation, in Jesus Name Amen 🙏

  18. Mary Gestes

    Thank you Mario for standing with Father God and speaking truth/light into darkness/deception
    Great explanation of what judgement means. And we know that sin has already been judged.
    I really appreciate your ministry

  19. Suzanne

    So sad for this couple. I pray the Lord opens their eyes. It seems satan always waits till people gain followers then moves in to try to capture them all. By comments I’ve seen on social media, Christians aren’t fooled.

  20. Gary Reynolds

    Both Gaines are Baylor “Baptist” University grads. The greater sin is BU’s deviation from Christ’s Word. Jesus says in Matthew 24:12 “And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold.”

    Chip said stone cold in X “money is boring, we have God on our side”. Waxed gross cold. There is no love in helping another person crucify Jesus anew and afresh – BUT Jesus died ONCE for ALL and will in no means suffer again!

    Claiming God is on our side – then presenting self worship as a normal lifestyle will not end well for the Gaines or for those trapped in sin by emulating them and / or their “show”. Pray saints, pray.

    Look up! Our Redeemer draws near! Praise Jesus somebody! Thank You God.

  21. Robert Tinglof

    I praise the Lord that he took me out of Sodom. You can be delivered from this lifestyle I have.. the Lord is allowed me to live with HIV aids for 44 years and I have outlive 10 doctors Jesus is real. I am not on the drugs can’t take them. They bother my liver. I have been off the drugs for almost 2 years and my doctor is amazed. Jesus is healing me. I will have a total healing for science. Can’t even find it in my body Jesus is the great physician. I love him with all my heart. I will pray for these people. They are deceived by the enemy, I say this in love not hate. How could I hate people in that lifestyle I came from there but I know the truth thank you Jesus for setting me free

    • Shara

      Praise God, Robert! And thank you for your post. More people who have been delivered from that lifestyle need to speak up, as you did. As you’ve experienced, this lifestyle should not be condoned. Instead, the homosexuals (the captives) need to be confronted with God’s Truth and the love of Jesus Christ..a love that heals and delivers.

  22. John

    Amen! This is a tool of the Devil

  23. Al Schooler

    The harlot has continued her quest thru those that proclaim to be followers of Christ. The Babylonian beast of fornication is still operational as is was centuries ago. She is the epitome of the false religion. Chip and Joanna must awake to their sin and seek repentance, seeking it publicly for all the deceived to see.

  24. Carole Dollar

    Amen. We must speak the truth in love

  25. S t u a r t

    Stick to the word which is right.
    And always stand up for righteousness and do what’s right and say what’s right according to the word. For it is the word that is sharper than any two edged sword. Good blog

  26. Jim Gossett

    Chip and Joanna have departed from the faith in this area. They are in agreement with devils and are deceived. They crossed a line and are ignorant concerning the word of God about perversion and homosexuality. Did they forget why God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah? Their saying homosexuality is ok . Yes God loves homosexuals but hates their sins. Chip and Joanna need to repent.

    • Dean Johnston

      They have always been a fraud. Everyone “successful” in Hollywood is under the lordship of the satan. But y’all don’t won’t get it.

  27. Dona Schmidt

    Whitewashed tombs, embracing lies when God set standards of right living.
    Thank you Mario.

  28. Carl Cox

    Well said.

  29. Linda O'Neill

    Thank you for being a Watchman & making this clear & warning us.

    • Gail Foster

      WE ALL HAVE SINNED AND FALLEN SHORT OF THE GLORY OF GOD. I SAY THIS FROM EXPERIENCE. IF THE HOLY SPIRIT DOESN’ T OPEN YOUR HEART AND REVEAL YOUR WICKED WAYS TO YOU (REVELATION) THEN YOU WILL CONTINUE TO DO WHAT YOU DO. SOMEONE CAN TELL YOU TILL THEY’RE BLUE IN THE FACE THAT YOU ARE SINNING, BUT UNTIL YOU CAN SEE IT, YOU’RE NOT GONNA CHANGE. REMEMBER SAUL BEFORE HE WAS THROWN DOWN BY THE ALMIGHTY PRESENCE OF JESUS? IT TOOK A REVELATION FROM HEAVEN FOR SAUL TO SEE HIS SIN. WE HAVE TO PRAY AND ASK HOLY SPIRIT TO DESCALE THEIR EYES AND HEARTS (OURS TO) AND SHOW THEM THEIR DEPRAVITY. THANK YOU JESUS FOR SHOWING ME MINE. THANK YOU HEAVENLY FATHER FOR YOUR LONG SUFFERING TOWARDS ME. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU 🙌🏻💝.

      • Gail Rainey

        Well said!!!! And Amen.

  30. Kathy Andrews James

    Brother Mario, My heart grieves ssinf the Truth of GOD’s Words being anused and violated! I have a granddaughter who has a little 7 yr old who has married another woman bearing her last name and my heart grieves for them because I know where this life will take them! I have been attacked as being homophobia only because not judging but reminding my granddaughter that this is not right and deep down she knows this! I am praying for her and her female mate and especially my little grandson! I so want to communicate the Truth with a boldness and yet speak the Truth in love! Sometimes as a parent of 6 children I have had to act upon tough love to help bring GODLY Truth to plain sight and this can be very brutal in keeping families together! Please pray for me as I continue to ask for wisdom and be the light in this dark world that GOD wants me to be!
    Thank you for standing for GOD’s TURTH AND LIFE!😃🙏

  31. Randall Shanley

    Exactly right Mario

  32. Barbie McClain

    Thanks so much for this word. It is so in point. Please pray for my daughter Cherie. She has lost her identity completely. After being raised in church, she now says she is gay and a witch. She says I don’t love her because I don’t agree with her choices.. it is heart braking and I pray for her all the time. Thank you for your ministry Sir. And God Bless.

    • Beth Thomas Houser

      Barbie, I join my sincere prayers to yours for Cherie. My Kaili is 28 and has run the gamut on every possible lifestyle that she knows the Bible teaches against (sometimes I suspect that it is just to shock me – or test me, maybe), and is now enamored with a self-proclaimed Satanist. She accuses me of beating her over the head with Scripture when she hasn’t even allowed me to tell her that I’m praying for her for years and insists that I listen to her “new, favorite song” – which is always from the Satanist and his band. I told her once when she was a teenager that there was nothing she could do to make me stop loving her. She answered me with, “Well, I’ve got plenty of time. We’ll see.” I understand your grief, worry and fear; but you are not alone. I have added you and your baby girl to my prayer list, and will be praying every day for both of you. Never forget to use your wisdom, not your anger (best advice I ever received, and of course it was from my Daddy), and watch for those ever-precious and scarce teachable moments. I send you the love of Jesus, and the comfort of the Holy Ghost. Your sister in Christ, Beth

  33. Billy Ferg

    Thank you Mario ,this was a great word ! Romans 1:28-32 says those who agree with homosexuality will also suffer the same consequences & penalty the homosexuals suffer. We live the sinner so we continue to preach the truth praying they will repent for their sins & come to Christ! It takes true love to speak against sin because we will be hated for it ! Now I’m praying Chip & Joanna turn from their sin & get saved !

  34. Colleen MacPherson

    Amen and Amen, Mario …. well said!!

  35. Paula Greenfield

    Very well spoken. To often times people will pull a verse out of the Bible totally out of content instead of reading before and after the verse

  36. Be

    Thank you Bro. Murillo for speaking and clarifying for those who do not read/study the word. It breaks my heart to see how some Christians are falling away the Word of God and rather than seek wisdom.

  37. Ron Rupp

    We’re to judge, quoting The WORD, the Word became flesh, no ye not you are the temple…I can say I’m a car by standing in a garage,this is the sign of person declaring christianity, but denying the power…going to a building once a week and not any form of discipleship, mentoring or shepherding, carry a title of christian and may even share HIM, but no depth…..keep it up my brother and we sure do enjoy ” FIREPOWER”

  38. Laurie

    Beautiful Mario beautiful. Thank you so much for standing up for God.

  39. Maureen Barnard

    It’s heartbreaking that so many succumb to accepting this evil, vile behavior. Chip has been haughty and arrogant in his response and can’t see how satan has tricked him….i hope the big amount he received in a check is worth it in the end …..I’ll gotten gain is not blessed!

  40. Teena Richardson

    Totally agree with you Mario! Well said & praying it will get through Chip & Joanna! Open their eyes Lord that they may see your truth!

  41. Calvin Cobb

    l was saddened to hear about Chip and Joanna. They have a massive following with people hanging on their every word and deed. Love. as expressed by Jesus, is longing for the truth to be revealed to and within an individual and/or people. I have had gay acquaintances over the years but never condoned their behavior or lifestyle. Loved them as He loves us but never condoned or promoted their sin. Jesus clearly forgave the adulterous woman but admonished her to “go and sin no more.” Chip and Joanna have perverted God’s love…..hopefully unwittingly. I pray for God’s Light to open their eyes to the truth.

  42. Penny McCartney

    Very good teaching. I’ve found, those who distort the Word of God, are the very ones throwing the “judgement verse” around

  43. Gary W Kelly

    Proverbs 17:15 – The one who justifies the wicked and the one who condemns the just, even they both are abomination to the LORD*.

  44. Tammy Breiner

    Thank you Mario for being willing to speak truth on this ever increasingly difficult situation. I am so very disappointed that Chip and Joanna have been deceived and need MUCH prayer 🙏 They are such good people and have such precious children! This is a terrible reminder that the end is near and the world is lost!

  45. Betty Joyce

    It is so sad that we label something good when it is totally against GODS word 👎👎👎👎👎👎

  46. Kathleen

    Sadly, it’s quite possible to “love” someone right into hell. This entire issue can be a difficult one to maneuver. My brother was gay (he passed away several years ago). I never wanted to, or felt that I needed to shun him and his friends, but I made it clear that my love for them was NOT acceptance of their lifestyle. It’s hard to keep boundaries under those circumstances. But keeping my door open made it possible to speak truth to him….what he did with it was his choice. Our relationship was not as close as one would choose to have with a sibling but we knew one another’s heart toward the other.

    One morning very early my phone rang. It was my brother telling me he was in a hospital waiting to be taken at any moment to surgery to remove a brain tumor. He was in another city and there was no way to reach him in person before the surgery. I suddenly heard myself saying, “Don’t you dare to go into that surgery without calling upon Jesus and telling Him you are sorry for all your sins and asking Him to be your Savior!” I rattled on about his NEED for Jesus for what seemed like a long time. I don’t remember precisely what I said to him in that conversation. It was if Holy Spirit was pouring out the words. And then, my brother was taken to surgery, which he survived.

    Sometime after that, when he was in my home, he said, “I want you to know that I did it. I asked Jesus to forgive me that morning when they were taking me to surgery…” Those words were wonderful to hear. I simply hope all that had the positive effect we pray for, but my brother returned to his friends in the gay community. It’s all he knew and they were his only friends. Who can know what is really in someone’s heart other than Jesus? I think we do the best we can to bring someone to the point of salvation…but it’s Holy Spirit Who seals the deal.

  47. Shirley Dizien

    I’ve heard of cases where these homosexual couples adopt children in order to sexually abuse them. May God help the children.

  48. Lisa Gallagher

    Their success will be halted if they continue down this crooked mislead path. Praying that Chip and JoAnn will repent and understand their platform and how the enemy is using them to conform to the world. As Christians we follow Christ. Thank you Mario excellent scripture and discernment. Blessings to you🙏❤️

  49. Hilton

    Thank you for your thoughtful, Biblical response. I 100% agree with your view on this subject.

  50. Sheryl Aicher

    Thank you for boldly speaking out! Amen and Amen ❤️🙏🏻

  51. Roderick D Gammon

    (John 7:24)John 7:24 (NKJV)
    24 Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment.”
    Context is everything.
    Thank you brother Mario for all you and your team are doing in these last of the last days to grow the Kingdom of God.
    God bless you and your family.
    JESUS IS LORD!!!

  52. Patricia G Kraft

    Thank you for calling out the yet more sinister promotion of what God calls evil by whitewashing it with creating guilt in kind people who just want everyone to be loved. That isn’t how it works it is about believing the entire bible and not changing it to read peace at all cost. I’m so sorry they decided to drink the cool aid and loved the show for years because of their clean values as a couple and as a family. Praying they have a come to Jesus meeting that will wake up their spirit man to the real truth and repent.

  53. Faye Smith

    Thank you, Mario for your strong stand always. The scripture that came to mind immediately is in John 47-50. The Lord Jesus said, “If any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. He that rejects me, and receives not my words, has one that judges him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day. For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.” Those that believe that homosexuality and the things that go with it have one judge and it is the word of the living God. Romans chapter 1: 22-32. Our prayer is that those who are deceived will come to the truth and turn from this evil and receive the truth. Jesus is Lord.

  54. Grey Memory

    Thank you !!!!! Keep up the great work !

  55. Patricia Kyzar

    Amen, thank you for speaking God’s truth. I have a brother who has been deceived into believing he is homosexual.. I love him & pray for him every day. Loving him is standing for truth because he is miserable, has isolated himself from the people who truly care for him & is depressed & fearful. He used to be close to Jesus & was joyful even when he struggled. The acceptance & promotion of this lie that LGBTQ+ is “normal” is a catalyst for causing people to suffer in this sin that causes destruction & death. Chip & Joanna will be held accountable before a holy God. They have been deceived.

  56. Patty Conway

    Thank you, Mario Murillo, for a clear presentation of the “judge not” quote, and thank you for upholding Christian/Biblical values.

    Now, let us pray that the pastor of their church, Antioch Community Church in Waco, has the courage to call out this sin, too

  57. LAUREN Pamela Laub

    All Have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Universal law of sowing and reaping applies here. Whatever we sow so shall we reap. Those who so sinful behavior will reap the consequences of that behavior. Those who sow to the righteousness and forgiveness of God reap the benefits of salvation and eternal life. Feeling very disappointed in Chip and Joanna Gaines. Hopefully they will realize that judging’s sinful behavior is not the same thing as judging people. As fruit inspectors we judge behaviors but we love people

  58. Mary

    Thank you Mario. I agree with you. We love the people and hate the lifestyle.

  59. Pamela George

    Hallelujah!!!

    • Jack

      When someone rejects the word of God they are rejecting Jesus in their heart because Jesus is the word of God .

  60. Amber

    Wholeheartedly agree. Our God is not a God of confusion. He is a God of order, beauty, and purpose. Always stay in the Word. Worldly values only lead you astray and forfeits God’s rewards.

  61. Marilyn Eckhardt

    Thank you for speaking out on this! It really needed to be said. I’m praying for both Chip and Joanna Gaines. Riches has become their god. So sad !!

  62. Sharon Sartell

    Mario, this ‘Christian’ acceptance of a lifestyle that Jesus clearly hates is mainstream and not love at all. Whatever reason a person uses to justify sin is an affront to God Himself. Yes, God loves us even when we were in our sin, but He emphatically hates the sin that controls us! He separates the sinner from the sin….something they who are calling those who engage in deviant lifestyles are not doing. That may be because of poor teaching from the pulpits.

  63. Cheryl

    Thank you for always standing firm on the solid rock and speaking truth. The righteous indignation in me grows daily as I see the craziness, but I fix my eyes on Christ and move onward toward the mark hoping and praying the indignation does not color my view of the most holy one.

  64. Kent J

    Thank you for explaining the truth meaning of Mathew 7-1. I too believe Chip and Joanna are good Christian people.I hope the Holy Sprit will removed the scales from their eyes and they see what the enemy is actually up doing.

  65. Jim Warrick

    I emailed this blog to their church in Waco Texas asking for the pastor’s thoughts.

    Perhaps everyone could do the same?

    AMEN!

  67. Connie Strock

    Some people ministries ect.start out with good intentions. But after a while if they don’t resist the devil.or if they don’t stay consistent in the word prayer ect.they become a target.for the devil to seduce and manipulate.ect.praying for them.

  68. Jan White

    Thank you for this post!!! I stand with you in disbeliefe that this couple has been so deceived. Lord I pray for them – open their eyes to Your Truth Jesus – for the Truth will set them free!!

    This is why we support your ministry.

  70. LSH

    Well said, Mario!

  71. Reed Higby

    Right on, Brother Mario. Thank you for speaking the Truth in Love. Thank you for addressing the lies in the “church”.

  72. Kristin Salzman

    Thank you, Mario, for another inciteful and articulate blog about Chip and Joanna and the truth of their misguided decision to go ahead with their new show. I pray the deep deception that has come on them will be revealed, they will repent and cancel this show. Thank you for sharing God’s Word which is the truth about this situation. I especially thank you for revealing the Greek meanings of judge. I encourage everyone who is not a part of the Firepower Army to watch your show with Todd Coconato as you share things I don’t hear any one else speaking about. It’s refreshing to hear news with Scriptures to always point us to the Lord. I pray for the Lord to continually protect you, your family and the Ministry you lead and pour out His wisdom on you as you prepare for your next Living Proof Tent crusade in Michigan. I am so thankful for the Holy Ghost boldness you walk in as it’s the truth He gives you that sets people free and keeps us on track with the Lord Jesus! Blessings!

      Amen! I do pray for them. I hear so often to “love” them, but it is not just love, it is “truth in love.” There are so many great comments. I do not want to love them right into hell. I take grief for my belief against the LGBQ….and often say, I am not tell God he made a mistake because He didn’t!

  73. Don Gillman

    Amen brother. Gods truth spoken is true love. Holy Spirit please open their eyes to see the truth of Gods love.

  74. Terry Haight

    Oh my, I am extremely disappointed at Chip and Joanna. They are certainly lost, they have lost their way. I hope and pray that this show will flop for the evil it promotes as normal.

  75. Wayne

    Thank you Mario for sharing! It is so sad that they have gone in this direction. Their compromising to truth had to start way before they decided to host this show!

  76. Bruce Cox

    we are seeing Bible prophecy come to pass before our very eyes. they are apostates that are leading many into hell.

  77. Josiah Moreland

    Mario, thank you for standing up for Jesus–the Way, the Truth, the Life. Your well articulated post gives us courage in this dark time. May the Lord bless you!

  78. Beverly

    Thank you Mario for calling things out and speaking truth. We are either all for God and His word or we are for satan and his lies. I choose God, no exceptions. Keep bringing forth the truth and let those who have ears to hear the truth step up and stand firmly for God, because the day is coming when we will stand before Him and that day is coming sooner than we think.

  79. Sara Detraz

    Yes and Amen!!!!

  80. Anne Terry

    Brother Mario, if Im understanding correctly, if my son who is living with a woman and not married, they are both saved , if Jesus comes back before they repent and get married they will not inherit the kingdom of God ????

    • Mario Murillo

      I cannot say definitively they are lost but it is a scary thing that they are doing. They should prayerfully read those verses.

  81. tom hidsen

    Mario, I wholly agree, but in theinterest of accuracy, I never found a quote by Chip saying they were trying to normalize homosexual marriage with children. (They did say the other quotes you mentioned.) The person who said that was one of the gay guys. Here is the quote from the LA Times: “When our boys were born — our twin boys were born via surrogacy in 2014 — we faced some legal challenges, and so we’ve always felt it it to be important that we try to be an example for same-sex couples,” Hanna told Queerty in a story published last week. “And so we’re super honored that, when they were choosing three modern day families, they did choose the same[-sex] couple as a modern-day family — because we are; we’re your neighbors, and your coworkers. And so it was this amazing opportunity to [continue to] normalize same-sex couples and same-sex families.”

    In essence, Chip and Joanna are normalizing this, whether they said so or not. It doesn’t change anything, but you have to be accurate and Chip nor Joanna as far Is I can find, ever said those words.

    • Mario Murillo

      Tom, you are correct. I never said that Chip or Joanna said that I said that the gay couple said it. The quote is attributed to tem in the blog.

  82. Gale

    Jesus met with, ate with tax collectors, prostitutes, thieves etc. He loved them, but didn’t normalize their behavior-he delivered them.

  83. Shara Bueler-Repka

    Thank you so much for your boldness in speaking the Truth, Mario–not only in this blog, but all the others. There are very few ministries that will “go there”, regarding the subjects that you comment on.

    My husband and I have been in full-time ministry for years, and we are always refreshed and fired up when we read your blogs and watch Fire Power. In response to the Lord’s leading, we also volunteered for the Tyler, TX Crusade. We LOVED it! I was a greeter and my husband was a parking attendant.

    You are the real deal. Thank you!

  84. Sharmon Pitts

    Thank you Mario, for teaching and calling out this false doctrine. Jesus clearly taught against the doctrine for compromise in His message to 7 churches in Revelaton. Praying for all to realize this deception of lies.

  85. Diane

    Gods Word is Truth, what He says is True. We cannot simply discard it because we disagree with it. If we do, we are, in effect calling God a liar. Let God be true, and every human being a liar. Heaven and Earth will pass away, but My Words Will Not pass away.

  86. Gary Kelly

    Judging & Reproof

    2 Timothy 4:2-4 – Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

    John 7:24 – Judge not according to the appearance but judge righteous judgment.

    Colossians 4:5-6 – Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time. Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.

    Ezekiel 33:9 – Nevertheless, if you warn the wicked to turn from his way: if he does not turn from his way, he will die in his iniquity, but you have delivered your life.

  87. Darlene Brooman

    We need more pastors willing to address cultural issues from the pulpit and what the Word of God says about them. We desperately need outreach to the younger generations that are being brainwashed by education, tv, media, etc. Plus, Mario is right on about the different Protestant camps: Prophecy, prosperity, mega church, worship (entertainment, techno concert, etc.) and heresy hunter camp. I believe the worst of these is the heresy hunter camp. We have pastors, denominations that spend their lives mocking other protestant groups that don’t quite share the beliefs on issues such as gifts of the Spirit, rapture, etc. They are dividers that stop the flow of the gospel to the lost. More prayer needed. The enemy is not the flesh but the demonic spirit controlling them. Mario, keep up the good work!!

  88. Marleen

    Thank you, Mario, for addressing this in an uncomplicated, Biblical manner.
    Always appreciate your boldness to speak the Truth in love to the Church and world.
    I pray the Holy Spirit will continue to empower you to reach the lost and hurting.

  89. Wordforworld

    Ohh, the agony of the commenters is so palpable. Their hurt is for their lost and confused family/friends who have chosen to go the way of homosexuality.

    Totally understanding the dilemma, we cannot engage in tolerance. Would you grant the unrepentant thief mercy as they continue in their wrong path? The unrepentant liar? The unrepentant rapist? The unrepentant murderer? The unrepentant aborter?

    The key word here is “unrepentant.” All of the above mentioned persons (that Mario referred to) DO know the Truth.
    Hence, their refusal to accept Truth, loving the darkness more than the Light, they seek to gather more unrepentants to flaunt their influence. They seek to qualify their behavior as acceptable due to their numbers.

    Nothing outside of intercession will help these. ONLY intercession for them will help. I ask our LORD JESUS to comfort you intercessors! I ask, since Father has poured out of His Holy Spirit on ALL flesh, that therefore, I can speak THE Name of Jesus Christ to EVERY soul, that therefore I can call out “the Light has come, the darkness FLED!”

    IN Jesus’ mighty name, and now, the holy angels can enforce Father’s Will and His Kingdom in earth, AS IN HEAVEN!

    Collectively, all we who ache for the salvations of those who believed the lie, we can speak assertively, in confidence, that God hears and has heard the cry of the righteous. Thank God for our merciful Father, for His Beloved Son, and His Holy Spirit, amen.

    I don’t understand why I cannot get your blogs. I used to get all but now none..

    • Mario Murillo

      We are putting you on the email list.

  91. Peter Yang

    I always wondered about them. They are installed. They are puppets. It was time for them to pay up for the fame that was given them. Now they must do what their puppet masters are telling them to do. Their morals are gone, have been gone for a while probably. Sad, sad…..

    • Don

      I think that Peter is on to something. Globalism has infested our world like the cancer it is, and fame and fortune are parceled out to those who are willing to sell their souls. Does anyone really think that Hollywood actors, pop musicians or media flacks, most of whom are narcissists, care anything about the social or political issues about which they pontificate to everyone else? Of course not. They get sucked in to the world system with its temporal rewards and readily sell out in order to continue to reap the world’s favor. . Jesus asked rhetorically what a man would exchange for his soul. The answer is that many people sell God’s grace pretty cheap. It will be a regret they carry into a very dark eternity.

  92. Thomas Harriman

    Shalom Brother Mario This is Thomas Harriman (missing left foot) Your Trojan Horse Analogy is Spot On Mario I have a ticket to “The Night Of Miracles” at Floodgate Church in Howell Michigan There is no doubt in my mind that The Holy Spirit will restore my left foot at “The Night Of Miracles” I am a little disappointed Mario that you didn’t answer my letter that I sent you Maybe you just haven’t gotten to it I know that you are a busy man Well anyhow “I Love You Brother” I will see you on August 3 at Floodgate Church in Michigan Love In Jesus Christ-Thomas Harriman

  93. Kim

    Thank you for your boldness in pointing out Truth. Chip and Joanna are part of the Hollywood satanic cult and apparently have been for some time.

  94. Will Ruppelt

    God bless you, Mario. There’s no better place to stand than to stand in the truth.

    Soldier on!

  95. Dianne Bourgeois

    Could that be partly because the church has had to endure 4 years of Biden perversity, trying to call evil good and forcing it on the people. But God answers the prayers of His people. The issue of perversion is one where God and the general consensus of the American people are walking side by side. Despite the outcry against evil there is so much work yet to be done. Prayers are needed for humility and repentance of Chip and Joanna. What about their family members, church family and also employees? Consider how all those people are suddenly thrown in the midst of controversy. And yet the devil is in the corner laughing at all the strife and confusion he was able to cause. Instead of Christians being self-righteous on this issue we should be on our knees for the victims of Satan’s charade. May God rescue his people once again 🙏 ❤️

  96. Don

    The terms “hate”
    and “ vitriol” as being traits of the “American” church, whatever that is, betrays these wolves real agenda. Paul and Jesus must then both be “haters” and members of the “American” church. The truth is, however. That God created a universe of physical and moral order. Men and women were created in order to multiply the human race and that is reflected in physically different characteristics. It reflects God’s sense of order, and to violate that intent of the Creator is to violate His physical and moral order. It is man’s predisposition to violate that order, and thus to oppose God that leads to such things as hatred, theft, murder and perversion. The issue is always man’s sin nature, not the individual expression of it. These actions, however, reflect man’s innate rebellion against God and Paul
    explicitly states in Romans that perversion is the end result of man’s hatred for God. Of course we all, including believers, struggle against sin…the mind, as Paul says, needs to renewed daily. However, to encourage people in any form of sin is to oppose God consciously and if done under cover if being a Christian us the mark of a vicious wolf.
