Yesterday, a message was sent out to the student body at Asbury Theological Seminary about a non-affiliated religious group that had set up shop on campus. They offered comforting words, saying they were "monitoring" the group, and that they were committed to ensuring a "safe and welcoming" atmosphere on campus. They went so far as to recommend that students take detours rather than risk being exposed to this group.
I took a little time to learn about this ministry that drew such a reaction from ATS leadership. What I found concerned me, not because of the unaffiliated ministry, but because of the allergic reaction of a theological institution to them. This afternoon I'll hopefully have some good content around this topic for anyone who joins in!
I don't know why the live stream didn't work today. Here is what I did:
Reviewing Judicial Docket at the end.
Apparently Locals isn't processing my live streams this month. I'm not sure what the issue is. A supporter asked about this particular episode, so I uploaded it here for him (and anyone else who wants to go back).
Debra Baty is the head of Resources 4 Redemption, which is an effort aimed at spreading good information about sexual orientation and gender identity. She recently published an article about “sexual fluidity” and how it impacts our sanctification in Firebrand Magazine. It is a good piece, and Debra does worthy work. All believers in the West have to contend with the artificial ideas of the sexual revolution. There is nowhere we can go that these issues do not impact us. The only way out is through.
Debra has a personal story that is quite compelling. She is a trustworthy, thoughtful, and conscientious resource. All covenant Christian bodies need to know where they stand on these things, lest the evil one sow confusion. Now is the time to reflect upon these things. Days are coming when what we believe will be put to the test. If we have not prepared, then we cannot expect to prevail.

Hey I need to just cancel the rest of the week of PlainSpoken programming. Mama and baby are in decent health, but attention is needed at home.
