Waitin' on Yahweh

Even more abominable is that this subterfuge is presented with a smattering a Scripture, in a statement entitled “A Southern Baptist Declaration on the Environment and Climate Change,” which is clearly intended to project the notion that this latest Baptist foray into “political correctness” is being perpetrated for Biblical purposes.

Sadly, the modern Church increasingly ignores His simple counsel and seeks to bridge that gap on a host of issues. The unalterable result is that such misbegotten endorsements of the popular culture cannot and will not effectively solidify “truth” as defined by the latest social or cultural fad. But attempting to relate to the secular world on this basis only causes the Church to lose its credibility in the eyes of the very people who need it most.

"How long will you go limping with two different opinions? If the Lord is God, follow him; but if Ba'al then follow him,” spoke Elijah.

1 Kings 18:

38 Then Yahweh's fire fell and consumed the burnt offering, the wood, the stones, and the dust, and it licked up the water that was in the trench. 39 When all the people saw it, they fell facedown (AI) and said, "Yahweh, He is God! Yahweh, He is God!"
