Once again we welcome you as we gather to worship the Lord on this glorious RESURRECTION SUNDAY!
In January, the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) announced they were going to allow girls who self-identified as boys to become members of their organization. For over 100 years, eligibility for membership in the organization was determined by the gender information on an individual’s birth certificate. However, that is no longer the case as communities and state laws have a different interpretation of gender identity.
This policy does not affect troops sponsored by religious groups. Nevertheless, some churches have decided to cut their ties with BSA over this and other LGBT positions.
In a statement to the Charlotte Observer, Andrew Shoger, pastor of Coddle Creek Associate Presbyterian Church explained, “We cannot partner with an organization that embraces what God’s Word clearly labels as sin. For more than 10 years, Coddle Creek Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church has hosted and chartered Boy Scout and Cub Scout groups. However, due to decisions by the Boy Scouts of America regarding matters of homosexuality and gender identity, the … church has determined that our church can no longer continue as partners … of BSA.”
Coddle Creek is not the only North Carolina church disassociating from the Boy Scouts of America over its newly implemented transgender policy. According to WNCN, the Fayetteville campus of the multi-site Manna Church plans to end its relationship with the scouting organization sometime this summer.
We thank God for churches that are holding forth the Word of Life and standing up for the sanctity and stability of the present generation and those yet unborn Like David plucked the lamb from the mouth of the lion and the bear, so we must pluck our innocent and vulnerable children out of the mouth of the devourer. This is why Jesus died and rose again, that we might have victory over the devil. Let us pray for the anointing that makes the righteous “bold as a lion.” that we as God’s people might take our stand for Him.
