The Boy Scouts of America has decided to delay their decision on banning gay members.

"After careful consideration and extensive dialogue within the scouting family, along with comments from those outside the organization, the volunteer officers of the Boy Scouts of America's National Executive Board concluded that due to the complexity of the issue, the organization needs time for a more deliberate review of its membership policy," said a statement released by the organization.

Herndon Graddick, GLADD President, is disappointed with the BSA's decision.

"An organization that serves youth and chooses to intentionally hurt dedicated young people and hardworking parents not only flies in the face of American principles, but the principles of being a Boy Scout," he said. "The Boy Scouts of America is choosing to ignore the cries of millions, including religious institutions , current scouting families, and corporate sponsors,  but those cries will not be silenced. We're living in a culture where hurting young gay people because because of who they (are) is unpopular and discriminatory."

The committee will make their final decision on the ban in May.

Today is the day that we celebrate the life of a man named Martin Luther King Jr.

King was a great man who served humanity to his fullest, condemning racial inequality and uplifting non-violence.

The other day, I was listening to my favorite speech from Dr. King. It's called Drum Major Instinct.

While listening to this speech, I thought about my own selfishness, my own pride, and my own need for attention.

I felt guilty and incapable of living a life that truly deserved so much attention.

Who am I, after all?

King went on to explain how racial issues stemmed from the Drum Major Instinct.

He explained how this instinct uplifted pride and arrogance, causing turmoil and war.

However, King switched perspectives during his speech and referenced the story of John and James trying to lead alongside Jesus.

He explained how Jesus gave a new meaning to greatness and redefined the Drum Major Instinct:

"And he transformed the situation by giving a new definition of greatness. And you know how he said it? He said, "Now brethren, I can't give you greatness. And really, I can't make you first." This is what Jesus said to James and John. "You must earn it. True greatness comes not by favoritism, but by fitness. And the right hand and the left are not mine to give, they belong to those who are prepared." (Amen) And so Jesus gave us a new norm of greatness. If you want to be important—wonderful. If you want to be recognized—wonderful. If you want to be great—wonderful. But recognize that he who is greatest among you shall be your servant. (Amen) That's a new definition of greatness."

What I took from this is God's innate love and need for us to work alongside him.

As Christians, or just human beings, we have a duty to serve others.

Living life is not about how comfortable you can be on Earth. It's not about money, or clothes, or fame.

It's about standing for something that matters, something that will make a difference.

That is the definition of Greatness.

Many people survive, but very few LIVE.

What will you do?

Rest in Peace to one of the greatest men who ever lived, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Veteran Pop Band No Doubt released an apology for their latest video, "Looking Hot," after huge backlash.

The video came under fire after multiple complaints from the Native American community.

Check out the apology (below) :

"As a multi-racial band our foundation is built upon both diversity and consideration for other cultures. Our intention with our new video was never to offend, hurt, or trivialize Native American people, their culture, or their history.

Although we consulted with Native American friends and Native American studies experts at the University of California, we realize now that we have offended people. . . We sincerely apologize to the Native American community and anybody else offended by this video."

The video has since been removed online.

Iran President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad will speak on the Anti-Islam video that sparked controversy in the Muslim world with Piers Morgan on Monday.

The online film, 'Innocence of Muslims,' portrayed Muslims in a bad light and called their Holy Prophet Mohammed a backward womanizer and murderer.

During the interview, Ahmadinejad said :

Offending the Holy Prophet is quite ugly. This has very little or nothing to do with freedom and freedom of speech. This is the weakness of the abuse of freedom, and in many places it is a crime. It shouldn't take place and I do hope the day will come in which politicians will not seek to offend those whom others hold holy."

You can catch the full interview on CNN's "Piers Morgan Tonight" at 9 pm ET.
