Last week we discussed being sound in our doctrine and in our theology.

We will continue with that theme as there is a reason this must be emphasised.

Many famous christians are often put on the spot to answer questions and some answeres the world is deeming as culturally insensative.

Lets just think about the culture for a second.

And look at the state we are in.

Let's just look At what is in affect with the media.

Media in general, movies, TV, music, Internet; the media in general.

DC comics launched a new comic line called new 52.

They do this around the year 2011 and they took some of the classic characters and gave them a modern day update.

Now whenever you hear companies say we're gonna take something classic and make it modern date you should be worried already.

What they want to be introducing was a whole bunch of sexuality with comic book characters. 2 well known characters were reintroduced as homosexuals.

The Green Lantern and batwoman.

Well the CW has a line of DC shows this includes the green arrow, The flash, super girl, and they just introduced batwoman in their hero lineup.

The actress they got to play batwoman is a woman who professes to be bisexual but believes she is more gender fluid, at least that's what I think they're calling it.

This is the idea that a person feels like an mail some days and a female other days.

Maybe it's not days but moments I feel like a male one moment and then a female another.

Using comic books as a way to attract children and using television is the way too put it out on a larger scale.

These are characters where sexuality is irrelevant to who they are or their plots yet these writers deem it necessary to add that in in order to further propagate sinful actions.

In the ironic twist of it all, the left has turned on itself.

It is my opinion the sexuality is the new Golden calf of America.

And when people heard that bat woman was going to be played by a bisexual or gender fluid person they protested.

What was their protest?

That the actress was not gay enough.

Then they further complained that the character was not gay enough.

So they're kind of turning on themselves.

I don't know what they're doing is they're playing this weird game of who can be the gayest.

But DC comics , Warner brothers, and the CW are not the only ones doing this.

Nickelodeon has a show a cartoon where children have 2 fathers.

Am TV has been propagating the homosexual agenda , really just a sexual revolution in general, 2 young minds since the 1980s.

Except in the 1980s MTV which gets its name from music television was actually music television.

Today I don't know what to call it.

But one thing is for certain it is no longer music television.

The Hallmark Channel even has characters like this.

One of the band members of a band call every day Sunday came out publicly as a homosexual man.

This man was married and had children and after 8 years of marriage said he was homosexual.

A man named Rob Bell was an up and coming pastor who took a radical left turn.

Not only did he begin to teach universalism it began to embrace inevitable embrace that comes from universalism which is the welcoming of all sexual immorality.

Amy Grant is another one who is openly welcomed all forms of sexual immorality.

But beyond those Who have openly, publicly , and proudly embraced what Christians should not embrace; there is a handful of wishy washy Christians who are just too afraid to speak up and speak truth.

For example, Larry King had a well known pastor on his show any asked that pastor if it was this sin to be a homosexual.

That pastor danced around the question , he refused to answer.

He said it was not up to him to judge.

And that he does not know.

Christian Music singer Lauren deagle did the same thing last week.

Lauren appeared on the Ellen show and many Christians were upset about that.

I did not see the performance on the Ellen show tamah but my first reaction when I heard she was on there singing was people are blowing this way out of proportion.

That woman is a Christian is she has an opportunity to give gospel truth to Alan and everybody in there then she is obligated to do so.

You're not guilty of a sin because you went to speak to sinners.

So there were a lot of Christians who were upset with her presence on that show.

In just a few days after that she was doing an interview on a radio show and the radio host Flat out asked her, Is homosexuality a sin?

Her response; I don't know.

She then went on to say it's not for her to say.

And that she just tells people what does the Bible say about it because I don't know what it says about it.

And whenever you find out , let me know.

And as you can imagine many Christian people went huh.

This tells us that we have misled Christian leaders.

And if the Christian leaders are misled then they are misleading.

But beyond those who professed faith in the public eye, there are the dark things that we see come to light and it really gives the church a very negative view.

Ted haggard for example.

It was the lead pastor of new life church in Colorado Springs.

This was a and still is a mega church.

Ted haggard was a preacher who was asked to speak at many big events, to make many news appearances and television appearances.

And then one day out of nowhere suddenly was discovered let Ted haggard was using church funds to pay for a male prostitute and to pay for meth.

Ted haggard resigned with a 6 figure severance package from new life church.

Even faded away for awhile then started up the ministry embracing homosexuality.

This was a huge scandal that everybody was watching.

Scandal does not just happened to the Catholic Church.

This week a major investigation report was released by the Fort worth star telegram.

And they uncovered a shocking amount of sexual abuse is within the independent fundamental Baptist movement.

They have evidence of over 400 allegations within just 200 ministries.

This is across the United States.

The majority of this taking place on the East half of the United States.

But a large amount also happening in California Texas Colorado and Arizona.

Just a little side note, out of this specific investigation there was not one allegation made in the state of South Dakota within the independent fundamentalist Baptist movement.

One of the report's Brittany and I are little familiar with.

Involved in ministry that one of my good friends was involved with and I was surprised about it all as I knew the whole pastoral staff of that ministry.

But there was a church somewhere in like Tennessee around that area called Trinity Baptist Church.

The deacon of the church have one of the youth as a babysitter for his kids she was 13 years old.

He was molesting her.

She got pregnant.

When It came out what had happened, The pastor made 13 year old apologize to the deacons wife or tempting her husband, apologize to the entire church tamah and was forced to repent before the church.

The deacon was a victim who is 40 years old by the way.

But that wasn't good enough, this girl was way out of control she must be relocated.

So they gave this girl up to another family in Colorado and this family was involved with another fundamental independent Baptist Church of the same name, Trinity Baptist Church.

She was not allowed to hang out with the other youth and her baby was taken away from her. that girl is now grown with a family.

And since that report came out that deacon was sentence to 48 years in jail.

Not only did this ministry support this pedophile in Tennessee but a ministry in Colorado help support that pedophile as well.

And a pastor who was connected with that ministry, who was disciple by the ministry, and was present during all these things, was a pastor who led the other Baptist Church in Leadville Colorado where Brittany and I used to minister.

Now aside from scandal within the church mama you have a culture that is highly aggressive in its political advancement.

And the same people who are highly aggressive with their political advancements they all have anti Christ political advancements.

And they are gaining ground.

How is it that they are able to gain such footing?

The teacher to your children.

Some places are worse than others.

For example South Dakota is not experiencing it like California.

But it is moving.

This type of indoctrination has made its way to Colorado which is considered middle America.
