Broadway Baptist Church in Fort Worth has a dilemma. That's what usually happens when a church starts compromising the truth.
You see, they have welcomed gay couples to their congregation for some time now. When the time rolled around to do a church directory, the gay couples wanted their "family" pictures included along with all the legitimate families. Some church members who still understand what a church is supposed to be said that including "family" pictures would be condoning the sin. The pastor says we should be accepting of them regardless of their lifestyle (guess he skipped over I Corinthians 5:9 and the other verses condemning homosexuality). So the church has come to the decision that no family pictures will be in the directory, homosexual, heterosexual, or other.
Either homosexual couples are OK, in which case they should be included, or they are not OK, in which case they should not be included. So how does excluding all the other families address this question? The answer is, it doesn't. It's just a sign of the times.
For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; and they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. II Timothy 4:3-4.

We are truly in scary times, when the church no longer backs up the word of God for fear of "offending"! It's good to see someone standing up and speaking out...there will be extra jewels in your crown some day.
