While the retiring Archbishop of Canterbury is aligned with the liberal mainline, it’s not hard to imagine the same words coming from evangelical cult of celebrity pastors like Rick Warren.
Apprising Ministries brings you more nauseating compromise that will likely also be seen in the mainstream of evangelicalism as soon as this coming year.
Christian News Network shares the thoughts of Evangelist Michael Marcavage of Repent America on this most recent presidential election. According to this article, Marcavage believes that President Obama was re-elected due to “prominent evangelical leaders who demand morality in and by the government apart from the moral Lawgiver.”
Americans for Truth About Homosexualty reports on another example of compromise and liberal thought infiltrating the visible church:
Andrew Marin, the controversial founder and president of the Marin Foundation, is speaking next week at Park Community Church in Chicago. This is surprising in that from its website Park Community appears to be a theologically orthodox church.
Marin promotes himself as a bridge-builder between the Christian community and the homosexual community and has written a book on the subject titled Love is an Orientation. It is not Marin’s desire to reach the unsaved that is troubling. We should all seek to bring the good news of Christ’s redemptive work to those who identify as homosexual. Rather, it is his approach and his theology that generate controversy and trouble many Christians.
Life News reports this disturbing news:
Exit polling data has shown the number of evangelical voters was higher in 2012 than in the 2008 election — in what should have been a good sign for the pro-life movement and GOP candidate Mitt Romney.
However, further analysis of the data shows that even though pro-abortion President Barack Obama lost among white evangelical Protestants and white Catholics, almost one-quarter of evangelicals voted for him despite his massive pro-abortion record.
Pastor and writer Daryl Wingerd asserts:
The true Christian who becomes absorbed in the study of God’s word, who spends the largest percentage of his otherwise unallocated time in serious, concentrated and thoughtful Bible reading, who orders his life around this pursuit and the behaviors that flow naturally from it, will rarely suffer long-term defeat in his battle against sin.
Fox News reports a rather disturbing story:
A Washington college said their non-discrimination policy prevents them from stopping a transgender man from exposing himself to young girls inside a women’s locker room, according to a group of concerned parents.
“Little girls should not be exposed to naked men, period,” said David Hacker, senior legal counsel with the Alliance Defending Freedom. A group of concerned parents contacted the legal firm for help.
CNS News reports:
In a letter to be read in the Catholic churches of the diocese of Peoria, Illinois at all Masses this weekend, two days before the election, Bishop Daniel Jenky equates pro-abortion Catholic politicians and the people who vote for them with the mob that rejected Jesus Christ over Caesar and warns that “God is not mocked.”
Life News reports:
Another plaintiff has won a court ruling against the Obama administration’s abortion pill mandate.
Federal District Court Judge Robert H. Cleland of the Eastern District of Michigan issued an opinion yesterday evening granting a motion for Preliminary Injunction that effectively halts enforcement of the HHS mandate against Plaintiffs Weingartz Supply Company and its owner and president, Daniel Weingartz.
