Pushing back against this Liberal post-Englightenment, post-Christian society
Ad maiorem Dei gloriam
We are living in a post-Christian world. Christophobia is on the increase at home and abroad. The latest data from Open Doors shows that Christianity is the most persecuted religion in the world. Not only that, there’s a growing intolerance towards Christians in the West.
Why might that be? I would suggest it is because Christians have remained quiet for too long – society has forgotten Christ’s teachings.
People often assume that the Church has changed her teachings and adapted to secular norms. Of course, we cannot change our teachings; we must not deviate from Christ’s message, his Good News. But it is easy to see how people may believe we can and have. We have not changed teachings; we have stopped teaching. The Church no longer engages in the crucial conversations around abortion, sexuality, marriage, sin, repentance, forgiveness, and, most significantly, salvation!
Article later continues... That said, we should be compassionate towards LGBT people just as we would be compassionate towards single heterosexual people who fall prey to sin in the form of fornication. I am not suggesting the Church should not be welcoming or inclusive for the slightest moment. All are welcome to be changed through an encounter with Christ. To all those who would say, “Jesus would love you as you are.” I say no. Jesus loves us, but he told us to repent! Christ spent time with sinners, but it is the sinners who went away changed, not Christ. To the people Christ met in the Bible, he said, “Go and sin no more.”
