Poll: Evangelical Millennials Support Homosexual Issues

A survey released towards the end of August by the Public Religion Research Institute revealed that 44 percent of white evangelical Millennials favor same-sex marriage, compared to only 12 percent of evangelical seniors and 19 percent of evangelicals overall.

This is a tough issue in the sense that so many are struggling to have a CORRECT biblical view on homosexuality. Though it's clear from scripture that it's a devastating sin, Millennials (my generation) have bought into the liberal, progressive, secularized implications of ideas like "tolerance" and "to each his own", etc. They've also bought the concept hook, line and sinker that a person's religion is their personal business only, a matter of individual preference. These things coupled with widespread downplaying of the accuracy and authority of the bible have left Millennials with a mismatched roadmap for life and a broken navigational compass.

We need to be exhorted to fully examine the theology or ideologies that currently dictate our lifestyles, not for the sake of making everything relative (like the apparent agenda of Rob Bell), but rather to expose the holes in our theology and the infiltration of secularism - perhaps unbeknownst to us - in order to adhere solely to the comprehensive and absolute truth of scripture.

Resuming a talk on the issues

It’s been a while since I’ve written on this blog, over a year in fact. It’s also been a while since I’ve been dedicated to writing in general. After beating around the bush in the face of serious writer’s block for what seems like an eternity to me, I’m back in the game of writing. And I plan to stay back in the game.

I’ve also spent too much time just deliberating over whether or not I should start a new blog to kick off writing again. Or if I should stick with an old blog but register it under a new domain. In short, I’ve been splitting hairs over things like what to name my blog and it’s ridiculous because it just keeps contributing to my dumb writer’s block. So I decided to stop puttering around and just take off.

I’ll be writing here for the time being, about whatever issues and topics I find compelling and worth discussing. I may update my other blog from time to time but it will not happen very frequently. I’m ready to shift my focus from stories of my so-called “adventures” to the daily cultural war and fight against misleading ideologies and half-truths.

May the mystery of the gospel and the truth of the scriptures be my guiding light.

Perspective for the Future

I just realized something perhaps a bit profound – for me at least. And that is this, that it is not incumbent upon me that I come up with the perfect plan for living my life. That includes choosing the perfect career path to follow or the perfect course of study should I return to school to pursue a higher degree. I am in no way possessing the miraculous powers needed to correctly see into the future in order to devise a perfect plan of action. Rather, one who knows me intimately is even now directing my steps and taking me where He wills.

I wish to be more sensitive to the gentle tug and lead of His hand rather than wildly thrashing about in pursuit of seemingly endless possibilities for my future that threaten to drown me with their sheer enormity. My job is only to make my calling and election sure. As to what tasks I am to do…well they will be clearly assigned and duly noted when the timing is right. For now, I am to continue walking in the present light that I have been given, which is all He asks of me.
