It Doesn’t Matter

One can stand for the TRUTH, or one can stand for something, anything else. Many would say that it doesn’t matter which you do – what is important is making sure you remain popular with the “mainstream,” and if that takes a little compromise. . .well, you still win.

Here’s a really good example regarding Marco Rubio:

Departing from scientific consensus, the rising Republican star refused to state whether the Earth is billions of years old or a few thousand, as many fundamentalist Christians believe. What no one expected was the rebuke from televangelist and longtime Christian conservative leader Pat Robertson, dismissing theories of a “young Earth.” “If you fight science, you are going to lose your children,” Robertson said last week during an appearance on the Christian Broadcast Network. Robertson wasn’t directly speaking to Rubio, but the senator and others in his party might heed the advice. Viewed by many voters as anti-science and too conservative on social issues such as gay marriage, the Republican Party is in danger of losing young and less religious voters for years to come.

I have been told for years how the Church was going to lose multitudes of folks if we don’t soften our stance on Creation, Science that matches the Scripture, Homosexuality, Abortion, the Rapture, Sin, Hell. . .believe me, I could go on.

I suppose in Politics, it doesn’t matter (that’s tongue in cheek for those of you who are nearly asleep), but in LIFE, it matters. Our Pastor has made it clear to us that there is no softness in his position regarding the absolute authority of TRUTH. If you lose folks with that, it is certainly tragic, but “scientific consensus,” if such a thing could ever exist, is not what matters. The values of the young and restless are often not the values of the TRUTH. The “less religious” need to be sanctified by the indwelling Spirit in the life of every Believer.

Now there’s an evidently unpopular TRUTH I can’t wait to support.
