Just when you thought that the Episcopal Church — split by its recent acceptance of homosexual clergy — couldn’t get even more torn apart, they do this.

It is almost like the Episcopalians are intentionally trying to eliminate the true voices of Bible scholarship from within their denomination in order to create a secular, socialized church. Their leadership is taking this church down a secular path by making the entire theology and structure devoid of any centralized Scriptural understanding of the law and replacing it with a post-modern thought process.

“Well, God loves everyone. So should we,” goes the mantra of secular Christians who reject the Law as holding any part in their lives. This creeping rejection of the Holy Bible as God’s Word is nothing new — even within the Lutheran house, we’ve battled this reduction of God’s Word during our bitter battles in the history of the LCMS.

Secularism creep is trying to destroy the church. Thanks be to God that God promises this will never happen. We need to stand firm in His Word and trust in Him while fighting for Him who saved us from sin.
