Christian Morality

In an era when evangelical ministers are endorsing pro-abortion candidates and an Episcopal bishop is marrying his gay lover, I guess it is no surprise that our own charismatic church leaders are sending out confusing signals about morality these days. It seems that in 2008, up is down, right is wrong and biblical absolutes are up for grabs.
This is especially true when it comes to marriage, an institution that once was considered sacred by all Christians. Nowadays, many preachers and even famous evangelical authors have created a new trend: Throwaway wedding vows. Christian divorce today is cheap, easy and not that much more expensive than a facelift. And some of our superstar preachers have figured out a way to use Bible verses to support their moral failures.
What an accurate and depressing assessment. Marriage has been cheapened by society at large. I am sorry to read that some who should be leaders in the churches have been relaxing standards. Society had been the leader in making excuses for people’s lack of responsibility. Now some in the church are following along and not holding people accountable as they should.
I read about Mr. Stockstill’s upcoming rally and I wish him well. It’s too easy to shake your head, wring your hands, and do nothing. I’m glad some Christians are resisting society’s descent into lethargy. It’s too bad that more of society doesn’t value standards and morals.
