Homosexuals have infiltrated various congregations, downing certain denominations.

How can that intrusion be stopped?

The answer is for the pulpit to preach the Bible clearly and consistently.

Wherever the Word of God is preaching Sunday after Sunday - as well as in Bible studies - the homosexual activists don't stand a chance. They don't even try. They know that a biblically knowledgeable clergy and laity don't take to their apostasy. Therefore, they go elsewhere.

Wherever homosexual activists have taken over a local group as well as the larger scope of the denominational leadership is where the Bible is sidelined. How can the Bible be sidelined? It happens when biblical exhortations are given secondary place to liturgy and ritual.

Liturgy and ritual encompassing the main portion of worship, leaving little time for biblical exposition, is a welcome mat for homosexual activists. They know that the people in the pews are not biblically knowledgeable. Therefore, the homosexual enthusiasts can play on the ignorance of the congregation. They also can gamble that the clergy staff is basically theologically liberal.

Where there is a liberal clergy, there is an open door for homosexual activists. They work hand-in-glove.

Where there is a theologically conservative clergy staff as well as the back up of biblically aligned laity, the activists stay clear.

Where the Bible is preached, the biblical morality is maintained. That ethic does not permit homosexual lifestyles for the Bible clearly states God's abhorrence for such recreational sex. God has made it absolutely clear in His divine revelation that same-gender sex is not allowed. It is evil. There is no quibbling with God concerning its wickedness.

However, in the name of "Christian love" homosexual activists go forth under the banner of compassion. They then take gibes at biblically aligned believers, saying they are prejudiced and mean spirited. The homosexual activists like to appear humanitarian and altruistic. They even quote from the Bible those passages about love for others and so on.

The devil knows how to use the Bible for his purposes. The homosexual activists do this all the time.

However, wherever the Bible is preached without compromise, liturgy and ritual playing a recessive role, the homosexual enthusiasts do not bother to infiltrate. Those denominations that keep to the Word of God week after week do not have the harassment from homosexuals and their colleagues. It is a simple fact.
