Revoice 2018 Sessions

Thought I'd note why this conference will be so hard to address.

The individual who "came out" on Facebook after the weekend is from a strong family and church. Those of us who know him were given a diabolical choice: we could support his statements about affirming traditional marriage and faith, and we could express love for the individual. But the conference itself (as many here have noted) went much further, bringing the queer existence into the new heavens and the new earth.

Given the situation, I chose to say nothing (which is a way of affirming, whether or not I wanted to do so). His family said nothing for awhile, but eventually three of his siblings, then mother spoke up with love and support. Finally, a teacher from a strong, reformed school, talked about his bravery for speaking up.

If you garden, you know how a weed can start within a healthy plant. Once it's there, yanking at the weed can pull up the weed and the desired garden plant, even if you move with great care. But if the weed stays, it will pull nutrients, then light from the garden plant. You can cut the weed at the base, which kills it, but its presence can block light and allow a great environment for disease by blocking airflow around the plant. Once the weed is there, the fruit-bearing plant is damaged, if not destroyed, and will likely never be as beneficial.

This is the adversary at his very worst. We can hope the denomination responds with vigor. Individuals, families and churches will be hurt. And I wonder, how many other weed seeds are already planted due to a lack of vigor regarding the purity of the church -- usually stated with peace as the ultimate goal?
Jesus saves those caught up in this sinful lifestyle, but he saves them to not stay in it, but to come out of it.
 
Brothers/Sisters,

I hope you find the below article very encouraging and take it as one small sign (there are others) that the PCA will hopefully handle this issue rightly.

I hope this article, at least, encourages (even if only slightly) my fellow PCA brothers who like myself have been greatly troubled and have a sincere concern and desire to see PCA handle this issue/trial in a God-Honoring reconciliation driven manner. To those outside the PCA, please continue to pray for us. That our denomination's handling of this REVOICE business will serve not only to reform/sanctify our denomination as a whole, but also that it might help other denominations as well. Soli Deo gloria!

Brothers/Sisters,

Thanks to all who have kept the PCA in your prayers, especially concerning the implications of the Revoice conference. Please continue to pray. I just wanted to share yet another signal (positive) to how it could be handled at the upcoming GA. I pray the Lord glorify his Name by further reforming our denomination according to his word, but nevertheless His will be done.:detective:
