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 rig...

Liberal ‘Christians’ like Steve Chalke leading homosexuals into hell: Christian counselor

Image
LONDON , January 31, 2013 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – The office of Rev. Steve Chalke , the UK pastor who recently gained notoriety by his support for “gay marriage,” has reportedly been “swamped” with phone calls. A self-defined evangelical Christian pastor calling for Christians to accept homosexuality or same-sex attraction itself is such a novelty that the mainstream media has flooded the internet with the story. Chalke had said that the real problem of the gay community is not their self-identification, but with the rampant promiscuity that harms them physically and spiritually. The solution, he said, is for Christians to “consider nurturing positive models for permanent and monogamous homosexual relationships .” Lesley Pilkington But one Christian counselor in the UK who famously lost her license for offering therapy to clients with unwanted same-sex attraction, has responded to Chalke saying that people suffering from unwanted same-sex attraction know full well that th...

Pro-gay ‘marriage’ march in France eclipsed by much larger traditional marriage rally

Image
January 31, 2013 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) - An estimated 120,000 people, according to the police, demonstrated in Paris on Sunday afternoon in support of government plans to legalize same-sex “marriage” and abortion. Organizers of the event – LGBT associations, “homoparental” family unions, trade unions, high school unions and the socialist, communist, leftwing and green parties – claim 400,000 people took to the streets in the sunny winter weather. If police numbers are correct that would indicate as many as ten times the number of people took part in t he demonstration against homosexual “marriage”  earlier this month. According to some estimates more than a million people participated in the marches opposing gay “marriage.” Given that Sunday’s event was a response to that enormous show of force, it would appear the defenders of “pro-true marriage” won hands down.  Pro-gay “marriage” campaigners clearly anticipated their loss. On Saturday, homosexualist leaders were...

TORONTO, Jan. 30, 2013 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) - Ontario ’s new Premier Kathleen Wynne promised to bring back a controversial sex-ed program at her first news conference after winning the leadership of Ontario’s Liberals party.  The curriculum, which would have had students learning about “gender identity” in grade 3 and anal intercourse in grade 7, was shelved temporarily by Premier Dalton McGuinty in 2010 after strong backlash from parents. Kathleen Wynne, Ontario's new Premier “We are going to evolve the physical health and sex education curriculum,” Wynne said on Jan. 27th, according to Xtra. “We have developed curriculum in this province for decades, and we have done it in a way that has integrity.” “We are committed to having a conversation with parents,” she added. Wynne  won the leadership contest  at the Ontario Liberal convention Jan. 26th and will step into the role of Premier when Dalton McGuinty officially steps down Feb. 12th. Wynne has ...

Justice Department enjoys close relationship with anti-Christian hate group: documents

(Photo credit: Wikipedia ) WASHINGTON, D.C. , January 30, 2013, ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – Documents uncovered from a Freedom of Information Act request show the Obama administration's Department of Justice enjoys a close relationship with the  Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) , an organization that brands principled opposition to homosexuality “hate.” The SPLC has  built  an  elaborate fundraising empire  by branding mainstream Christian ministries – including the  American Family Association , the  Family Research Council , and  Concerned Women for America  – as “hate groups” for opposing homosexuality. The legal watchdog  Judicial Watch  filed the request to see what effect SPLC's designation of “hate groups” had on the government. The  two-dozen pages of e-mails  it received reveal views of DOJ employees that border on adulation. The department invited co-founder Morris ...

UK bishops distribute 1 million postcards against gay ‘marriage’

Image
LONDON , January 30, 2013 (LifeSiteNews.com) – According to the Catholic bishops , the UK government ’s proposed gay "marriage" bill eviscerates the meaning and content of marriage, reducing it to an institution divorced from its fundamental biological and social functions. Over the weekend, the Catholic bishops conference of England and Wales distributed one million postcards for churchgoers to send to MPs asking for the defeat of the legislation. Marriage , they said, cannot be understood unless it is "seen as intimately related to the conception and rearing of children”. But it is precisely this understanding that the government’s bill throws out. “Marriage,” they said, “is not only the institutional recognition of love and commitment. Marriage, as legally recognised in this country, is also the institutional recognition of a unique kind of relationship in which children are raised by their birth-parents. Even if this is not always possible in practice, the l...
