I've just realized that we've come a long way...in the wrong direction.  How did we get to the place in this nation that we accept abortion on demand, indoctrination of our kids in the halls of Babylon, & family splintering Church methodology?  What ever happened to discernment?  What ever happened to standing up for the truth even if it means standing alone?  We are in desperate need of discerning & corageous men to fill our pulpits & to lead our families back to God's unchanging standard.  We look at these issues & wonder how it got that bad.  Well, as I see it, these issues are the tip of the iceburg of apostacy, apathy, & ignorance (for which there is no excuse).  I recently went to a "Christian" marriage seminar that stated a "traditional" (biblical) marriage was a "problem to be remedied".  The material then went on to quote the likes of Gloria Steinum.  The real problem is that a room full a Pastors & Church Staff simply nodded in agreement.  Why weren't there red flags going up all over the room?  Cal Thomas recently asked Rick Warren if there was anything in his best selling book, "The Purpose Driven Life" that wasn't in the Bible.  Warren answered, "No" to which Thomas replied, "Good, you just saved me $19.99".  When will we stop looking to Warren & Hybles & start looking to Christ?  What will it take to call the Church back to her roots & to gain a Biblical sense of discernment once again?

WHO in the WORLD sponsored that seminar?! Did you have opportunity, at a break or something, to ask any of the other pastors if that bothered them? Or if they even caught what was being said?

I'm very interested in any follow-up you did with either the speaker or other attendees.

P.S. SO GLAD that your dear wife has been feeling better!! The LORD is good!

I agree wholeheartedly with what you're saying and asking. Apathy is nauseating.

I just returned from my father's home in FL where he took his own life last month. He was a former pastor, divorced my mother, and was estranged from his children and grandkids for over 10 years. I can't believe how physically ill I felt entering his home and realizing it was the home of a stranger. I got excited when I saw on his bookshelf a W.W.J.D. book cover thinking he still had a Bible, yet was disappointed to find an investment book inside. He became his own God in the end. So sad.

Going to look for scripture in Isaiah? which says .... if our nation will repent..... and turn back to the Lord... I can't recall the exact words so I'm off to read the WORD.
