Conservative Christians and the gay revolution
R. Albert Mohler Jr, Washington Post
In terms of the cultural tide, evangelical Christians have every reason to feel left behind. Thoughtful evangelicals must realize the depth of our predicament.
Liberty and public decency
Sven Wilson, Pileus
But I am definitely a prude. . . . And proud of it. And, if you are a libertarian, then you should be a prude, too.
Relating to the morning-after pill story and the Albert Mohler article, over at patheos Tony Jones wonders if it is time for Christians to celebrate pre-marital sex. Anyone following the Sexual Revolution these past few decades should be as surprised by this as they would be to see a socially conservative Republican candidate at a Pride parade waving a rainbow flag in his short shorts two weeks before a close election in a ‘liberated’ district. One must, after all, take principled stands. The Evangelical world has certainly demonstrated such a principled approach to all things sexual by its consistent strategy of ‘resist vehemently and concede sheepishly’, going back at least to the decision by the Anglican churches to permit contraceptives, with nearly all Protestant denominations and adherents soon concurring this was indeed the newly revealed will of our Lord.
At some point, the Evangelical world is going to have to repent, and by that I mean ‘turn around and go back’. Then again, isn’t that what the whole of the our Walk is about?
Josh,
Agreed. It is interesting how quickly we condemn our past due to the ‘new enlightenment’ of the present, which in reality condemns our future…
