To those who have received the same kind of faith as ours, by the righteousness of our God and Savior, Jesus Christ: 2 Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the full knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord; 3 seeing that His divine power has granted to us everything pertaining to life and godliness, through the full knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence. 4 For by these He has granted to us His precious and magnificent promises, so that by them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world by lust. 2 Peter 1:1-4 (LSB)
“This moral compromise does not merely lead individuals astray—it erodes the very foundations of the church, remaking it from a guardian of light and truth in a dark world into a mirror of the world’s own quagmire of sin and despair.

“The left has already normalized (or is in the process thereof) eating insects instead of meat, the sexual grooming of children, men conquering women’s sports, the medical mutilation of adults and children in service to the lie of gender ideology, polyamory, pedophilia – why would cannibalism be off-limits?”
“Ferguson’s approach embraces the world’s attitude toward this sin, waters it down with language like “brokenness” and “dysphoria,” in an effort to downplay the seriousness of this sin. Instead of being something that we should be turning from and being sanctified out of, it becomes something that we must live with and accept….”

“Rick mentions the effort to “keep parents in the dark” when it comes to what their kids are being taught.
