Christ Himself said the ‘sign’ of His return would be ‘deception’..... Matthew 24, Mark 13, Luke 21....
And we are to be “in” the world, not “of” it. The liberal “christians” have a strong desire to please the world, for some reason. I think it is a combination of guilt (maybe for past racism/having trust funds/etc.) and a strong need for acceptance from the world.
