The culture war is being brought to us. “A gay-rights group is moving toward a showdown with Bob Jones University. It's part of a civil rights-style road trip called the Soulforce Equality Ride, in which the group is visiting -- 32 schools they say don't allow gay & lesbian students to enroll.” Bob Jones, and indeed all of us, find ourselves at, a moment of truth.

 

The political left once again only sows confusion in public debate as Christians above all others are concerned for religious and civil liberty. At issue here is the fact that a private institution has the right to exclude those who do not adhere to their worldview. 

 

The University is praying for each of the riders by name and planning to display Christ’s love. That’s an example for all of us. Christian institutions have not taken the fight to the homosexuals. On the contrary, these activists have brought it to us!

 

Such a confrontation should not be avoided. The vivid scene in which Elijah defeated the prophets of Baal comes to mind as Christ demonstrates His reality and superiority over all other gods. If the culture war is brought to us, let us be ready.
