OPINION (Todd Starnes) – Get a load of the racially-charged prayer delivered at Baylor University’s 2019 commencement by Dan Freemyer, the pastor of Broadway Baptist Church in Fort Worth. “God, give them the moral imagination to reject the old keys we are trying to give them to a planet that we are poisoning by running it on fossil fuels and misplaced priorities – a planet with too many straight, white men like me behind the steering wheel while others have been expected to sit quietly in the back of the bus,” the minister prayed.
Did you notice the cheers from the crowd? A friend from Get Religion sent me a link to an exclusive story about the prayer written by Rod Dreher, a fine writer for The American Conservative. “This is appalling,” Dreher wrote. “Whoever would have imagined that ‘straight white men’ would be denounced in prayer at a Baylor University graduation ceremony? I wonder how many straight white men are Baylor donors? I wonder how many straight white male and female parents of high school students will understand the meaning of this signal, and look elsewhere for their children’s Christian college education?” FULL REPORT
We are all seeing many mainstream church denomination like Baptist going rogue against their leaderships professed stance for/against certain liberal/new age attitudes and actions. I both surprised and not that this is happening more and more as Satan twists and deceives even church leaders to guide their flocks straight to the gates of hell. This past year has proven how destructive the Devil and his minions have been with churches voting to allow same-sex marriages even when their denominational leadership has banned it. Our only hope is for national revival, repentance and a return to Godly values and beliefs. Otherwise this shall be the tip of the iceberg that sends the Titanic US to it’s depths.
