What Happens When You Let Down Your Guard?

While reading the news this week, I am finding the liberal Christians movement leaders — despite how “apolitical” they are, or claim to be — are feeding a repackaged version of evangelicalism to "millennials" for their own radical, political, agenda.

To me, the term liberal Christian is an oxymoron. For those who don't know, an oxymoron (plural oxymora or oxymorons) (from Greek ὀξύμωρον, "sharp dull") is a figure of speech that combines contradictory terms. And, when you think what a Christian is, you might understand that it is a contridictory phrase.
The "millennials," also known as Generation Y, also known as the Millennial Generation, is the demographic cohort following Generation X. There are no precise dates for when Generation Y starts and ends, but many commentators use beginning birth dates from the early 1980s to the early 2000s. Those of Generation Y are less likely to practice organized religion than older generations, and are more likely to be skeptical of religious institutions. Generation Y has led a trend towards irreligion that has been growing since the 1990s. 

So, you can see why leaders of the so-called liberal Christianity movement are redely accepted with their spreading of their theology (ideology) teaching, which, by the way, is more towards a social gospel

An example is this year’s Catalyst Atlanta 2013 Conference, a Christian conference gathering together young evangelicals for worship, learning, and sharing their faith in Jesus Christ.  

So, why would Catalyst invite Newark, N.J. Mayor and Senate hopeful Cory Booker to speak at this years conference, who is not known for proclaiming his love of Jesus or evangelizing to his fellow politicians and constituents, and whose speaker bio doesn’t even include the word Jesus, Christian, or God, and, according to his political biography, as Democratic National Committee (DNC) co-chair he did advocate for no-restriction abortions and tax-payer funded abortions regardless of infringements to religious liberty, other than to spread their liberal ideology, not theology.

According to the agenda for the conference, the main platform does not include anything to do with the areas of #life #marriage #religiousfreedom, but seem to be promoting plenty of platform for #poverty,#sextrafficking… even #nukes. What a wasted opportunity for those who ‘feel a burden for our generation,’” that the truth of the Gospel will not be heard.

I am also noticing that many so-called liberal Christians today, are sidestepping abortion, gay marriage or socialism issues, and instead of speaking out against "sin," rallying for them. 

i am wondering that if the reason is not because many of those in my generation, who are having their children and grandchildren acknowledging they are gay, are finding it difficult to condemn their own family members of the "sin" that a Holy God condemns, therefore, they are rallying around their family members in support.

And, could it be that they have negated their responsibility of "train up a child in the way they should go. In other words they have consistently over the years been guilty of the following:

• They, the parents, have denied the existence, evidence, or truth of God, or contradict it in front of their children. 
• They have nullify or cause the Gospel to be ineffective in their children's lives. 
• They have been negative in regards to the church program, and or have brought or caused negative results in their children's lives. 
• Or they have just flat out not been an example to their children.

And we are increasingly finding these people saturated into our main line churches, spreading their fifth.

In a recent op-ed for CNN.com titled, “Why Millennials Are Leaving the Church,” Rachel Held Evans throws out the false claim that young Christians are leaving the church because Christianity has become “Too political, too exclusive, old-fashioned, unconcerned with social justice and hostile to lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people.” She advocates for the church to become less concerned with sex (a.k.a. abortion and contraception) and more consumed with eradicating poverty and embracing homosexuality.

What has happened to our country in the past 40 years, is that the Church has been asleep and has let every thing coming down the pike in, to take over our churches, our pulpits, and our pews.

You may ask, "Does it matter?" My answer would be, "Yes it does matter, it matters to me as a child of God, but most importantly, it also matters to God." I can almost hear the "trumpet" sounding right now!
