Carl Trueman has written a thought worthy article pertaining to the gay rights movement, entitled, "Goodbye Larry King, Hello Jerry Springer!"

Here are a few excerpts:

• "One thing is now clear: the issue of the legitimacy of homosexual behavior and the legality of gay marriages and/or civil unions, is the issue of the hour, at least as far as the media seems to be concerned." 

• "There are two temptations here which must be resisted at all costs.  The first is to compromise biblical standards." 

• "The pro-gay issue is carried along by a veritable cultural tidal wave, with everybody from high-powered political pundits to soap opera screenwriters helping to create an environment where to be opposed to homosexuality is regarded as irrational, implausible bigotry."

• "As Don Carson commented recently, American Christians have yet to wake up to the fact that the gospel really is despised by the world." 

• "The second temptation is to become what the pro-gay left are saying we are already: hatemongers."
