I have ties in the Mennonite church. I know of two pastors who have left their spouses and children to take up with the homosexual life. They continue to call themselves Mennonite pastors.

This article illuminates something that has been going on in the Mennonite church for about 10 years. Goshen and other Mennonite colleges have lost their direction.

It is sad. There is no place safe for God's people on this earth.

I feel like that too, sometimes. But then I remind myself that God will always keep us safe in the way that counts: spiritually. In His Word He tells us how to stay safe. I worry most about children who are so vulnerable to these influences. Parents don't always see the danger even when they think they are being very careful.

Also, it seems that the best materials have always come out of dangerous times. I guess it's that whole trial by fire thing where people are purified through trials and tribulations. We just have to stay aware. And in the process of forming the necessary arguments to counter these sinful issues and false teachings, we are producing important resources for others. So we must not grow weary and compromise. Double check the influences in your own life and family first. You might be surprised what you find. Then just keep on speaking the truth everywhere you can. But keep the closest watch on you and yours.
