In reply to Darrin Urbytes.

Darrin, your statement is astute, and taken from God's word. We are living at a time when many Christians want it both ways....to have Jesus and the world at the same time. To be accepted by this falling society is important to many formerly more orthodox Lutherans who have found it easier to dispense with conscience and appease those who wickedly advance an anti-Christian agenda. After all, they will say, isn't it better to remain in the scouts and reflect Christ's accepting love and tolerance, and try to transform young minds by Christian example? Yet, in their foolish and willful ignorance of reality, and the motivations of the leadership of the scouts, they fail to consider that Christian principles are unwelcome, thank you! I have stated my opposition to the LCMS position on this issue, but I may as well speak to the wind, because, as you have pointed out in Judges 17:6 "Everyone did hat was right in his own eyes..."
