The Boy Scouts’ folly: Putting sexual morality up to a vote

Image
May 23, 2013,  was a sad day for the Boy Scouts of America ( BSA ), and another tragic day for an America in decline. The Scouts’ corporate-driven leaders in their folly put sexual morality up for a vote, and when it was all over, the Scouts as we once knew them – a God-fearing, wholesome organization – were finished. Now, truly “ morally straight” organizations (to quote the  Scout Oath ) will rise up to compete with the corrupted BSA, and parents by the hundreds of thousands will migrate with their sons to these trustworthy alternatives. This was a completely unnecessary capitulation. The equivocating Scouts somehow managed to snatch defeat from their hard-won victory in the  Supreme Court in 2000  – which preserved the Scouts’ right to live by their own moral creed. Now they have eviscerated that creed, thus rewarding the very Homosexual lobby that tormented the BSA since its high court triumph. Pursuing godliness and virtue is not a democratic exercise but a walk of

Boy Scouts at the Brink of disaster allowing Homosexual Leaders?

History of the Boy Scouts of America (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Meeting Thursday in Grapevine, Texas , the National Council of the Boy Scouts of America will decide whether it will retain or revise its historic membership policy on the issue of homosexuality . The 1,400 voting members of the B.S.A. National Council hold the future of one of America ’s most iconic organizations in their hands. In reality, they are not only deciding a matter of membership policy. They are actually deciding the future of the entire organization. The culture wars came to the Boy Scouts many years ago. For the last few decades, the Boy Scouts have had to fight battles with both secularists and homosexual activists. The secular challenge came first, with demands that the Scouts drop their historic requirement that boys affirm belief in God as a criterion for membership. Soon thereafter, the demand for the full inclusion of homosexual members and leaders followed. The Scouts have had to fight legal

Limping between two opinions: The moral evacuation of the Boy Scouts of America

History of the Boy Scouts of America (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) NASHVILLE, TN , January 31, 2013, ( AlbertMohler.com ) -  And Elijah came near to all the people and said, “How long will you go on limping between two different opinions? If the Lord is God, follow him; but if Baal, then follow him .” --  1 Kings 18:21 . The announcement this week that the Boy Scouts of America may soon rescind its national policy prohibiting the participation of openly homosexual members and leaders fell like a thunderclap. The B.S.A. national board is expected to approve the change early next week, just six months after that same board had announced that no change would be made, citing the unanimous recommendation of a special study committee.  Back then, the B.S.A. CEO said that the “vast majority” of Boy Scout parents supported the policy. That was then, but this is now. Just six months later, the B.S.A. board is prepared to capitulate to massive pressure from gay rights activists

Gay Activists bully the Boy Scouts

I’ve been warning you that the current push to legitimize homosexual conduct and so-called gay “marriage” represents today’s greatest threat to religious liberty.  I’ve told you about attacks against iPhone apps for the Manhattan Declaration and Exodus International , as well as a boycott of Chick-fil-a . Their crime? Supporting marriage as only between a man and a woman and having the temerity to not support so-called gay “marriage.” The Boy Scouts ’ politically incorrect stands on homosexuality and atheism have long put this great organization in the extremists’ cross-hairs, and now the pressure is getting even more intense. The Scouts prohibit open homosexuals from serving as leaders. That’s because the organization believes that “homosexual conduct is inconsistent with the obligations in the Scout Oath and Scout Law to be morally straight and clean in thought, word, and deed.” How’s that for straight talking, friends? But now, in the St
