Thank you for joining the conversation.
You wrote that “it is clear that in recent years Focus has had the problem that Hutcherson described.”
In all sincerity, could you provide a few specific examples? I know folks at Focus on the Family, and would love to pass your information along to them.
Talking to people at Focus will accomplish nothing. If that were so, we would have resolved some issues with them long ago. FYI, however, Focus is paralyzed, for example, on the education issue because of the public school tares in the organization. Dobson himself a few years ago was very good on the need to get children out of government schools. His sound position, however, upset many of the people who worked at Focus and who wanted to believe that rendering your children to Caesar in Colorado Springs is just fine. Consequently, Focus is now effectively educationally antinomian. Focus’s approach to dealing with the issue of the homosexual lifestyle is questionable - trending toward trying to be seen to be “nice” and sensitive rather than standing firm on biblical truth.
Obviously, you have a more positive view of Focus, but I agree with Hutcherson that the Super Bowl ad was a travesty and that it is a reflection of a deeper problem.
