One Big Step Closer

Today, the national convention of the Episcopal Church in the U.S.A. took the Church one more step towards dilution and irrelevance with it's gay divorce from Scripture and the rest of the Anglican communion.

With the adoption of a resolution that would allow homosexuals to be ordained into "any ministry", the Church officially turns it's back on a three year old moratorium on the election of homosexual Bishops. Turns out that was nothing but a stunt to placate conservative members after their outrage over the election of Gene Robinson in New Hampshire, and his self-serving drive to change the Church to suit his lifestyle.

With at least a dozen new resolutions by aggressive supporters of gay, lesbian, and transgender lifestyles, there is apt to be more legislation approved in this convention by too many Church members concerned by the appearance of acceptance, rather to stand tall in the truth of God's design. Most of these resolutions take a very devious tact of simply allowing a certain "latitude" to clergy in the blessing of same-sex unions. In other words, making these things optional, and allowing those clergy who don't support such thinking an "out" to stand against it in their own Church. You would have to be deaf, dumb and blind to not see through this strategy. The eventual objective is incredibly apparent.

The Church continues to be hell-bent on "inclusiveness" through all of these actions and in doing so, continues to promote it’s own incredible contraction! The fear of it's self-righteous leaders fails to allow them to see or to care about that, apparently. So few willing to stand for the doctrine of Scripture and God's natural order.

I view the current state of our Church as a giant sail with no rigging set to catch the wind and move forward. Instead, the sail flaps and twists, trying to catch every societal “gust”, and ultimately adrift and dead in the water. That is it's future, and it pulled the last lines out of it's sails this week.
