Selling Out the Cross

So much for being "sola Scriptura." Sigh. Our Protest-ant brothers and sisters are taking one more giant leap forward from separating themselves from the Truth of Christ. No more does Scripture hold sway as the hill to live and die on. No, now it is our swaying passions that we will entrench in Law and whitewash over the hard Truth of the Gospel.

How Presbyterians get past the warnings of Sodom and Gomorrah and the words of St. Paul in the first chapter of 1 Corinthians is beyond me. The last time I checked, God was still in charge, even if the darkness in our hearts keeps us blind from seeing His radiance. The fact that Christian denominations are affirming a lifestyle that will never fulfill and rewriting the truth about God and man blows my mind.

Oh, may we pray that the Presbyterians get a clue before it is too late.

Presbyterians to Consider Gay Marriage Initiative

SAN JOSE, Calif. - Gay marriage will be on the agenda as the Presbyterian Church USA begins its biennial meeting this weekend in California, where same-sex weddings became legal this week.

Delegates to the General Assembly will be asked to rewrite the church's Book of Order to allow Presbyterian ministers to conduct wedding services for gay couples. The church constitution currently defines marriage as a covenant between a man and a woman.

The Reverend Parker Williamson, a leader of conservative Presbyterians, says gay rights get more support from the denomination's leaders than from people in the pews.

In April, the denomination's highest court found that a lesbian minister who officiated at weddings for two lesbian couples was guilty of misconduct, but gave her the lightest possible punishment.
