The Great Luge Run to Perdition

Sharing Options

If you read through the linked article on homosexuals in ministry, you will find yet another example of what happens when professing Christians try to reconcile the plain teaching of Scripture with what their lusts are demanding of them. What to do? What to do? Why you “wrestle with the issues.” You grapple with them. You furrow your brow. You parade around with an eccclesiastical mien, spouting the most frightful nonsense.

When things have progressed thus far, when a denomination is three quarters of the way down the great luge run to perdition, not much can be done about it. And the most frightful nonsense appears on both sides. Someone on the back of the sled says, “Are you sure this is the right way?” To wit, representing the side of the angels on this one, the Rev. Becky said:

“‘I think we have stepped beyond what the word of God allows,’ said the Rev. Rebecca M. M. Heber of Heathrow, Fla., who said she was going to reconsider her membership.”

And no doubt there will be, twenty years from now, an ordained-minister-in-lifelong-publicly-accountable-relationships-with-members-of-the-same-sex who, when faced with the impending ordination of twelve-year-old catamites, will say, with a nice liberal tremor in his voice, his wattles shaking as he speaks, “What is happening to our beloved denomination?”

Whatcha mean happening, sport? The top of the luge run was seventy-five years ago.
