I just received an email from a dear friend who works closely with the Boy Scouts of America, and who knows intimately about the ongoing struggles behind the scenes of this great organization. They have requested that we help get information out about a petition being sponsored by the Family Research Counsel. Please go to the following link (http://www.frc.org/alert/the-scouts-need-your-help) and read the information provided by FRC, and then if you feel so led please sign the petition.
Your voice needs to be heard once again, and your support is greatly appreciated. Please keep the BSA leaders who stand for what is right according to the standards of God in your prayers. The old saying, "the squeaky wheel gets the grease" still holds true. Let me remind you of a parable that Christ Jesus once shared:
Luke 18:1-8 (ESV) And he told them a parable to the effect that they ought always to pray and not lose heart. 2 He said, “In a certain city there was a judge who neither feared God nor respected man. 3 And there was a widow in that city who kept coming to him and saying, ‘Give me justice against my adversary.’ 4 For a while he refused, but afterward he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God nor respect man, 5 yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will give her justice, so that she will not beat me down by her continual coming.’” 6 And the Lord said, “Hear what the unrighteous judge says. 7 And will not God give justice to his elect, who cry to him day and night? Will he delay long over them? 8 I tell you, he will give justice to them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?”
As Christians we need to keep praying, and continuously speaking out on all issues whether they be spiritual, cultural, or political in nature when they are at odds with the Word of God. Let us be vigilant in all we do and in so doing God will be honored.
Blessings,
Rod
