How Did the Church Become So Complacent, Celebrating Drag Queens in the Pulpit?

As I was doing my morning reading, I was pointed to this article at Religion News Service (RNS) praising and celebrating the abomination of drag performances in churches, particularly, in the pulpit. This abomination is a clear indication of the modern professing Church's utter degeneration. I know they say that there is nothing new under the sun, but this sure seems like a new invention.

I can’t think of a time in history when the professing Church was so celebratory of sexual immorality. Perhaps, though, this is exactly what Paul was addressing in 1 Corinthians 5 when he addresses sexual immorality in the Church—“a kind that is not tolerated even among pagans.”

It is astounding that so many so-called churches look absolutely nothing like the sacred institutions they claim to be, yet they brandish the name of Christ. Their Christ is a false construct—a permissive, indulgent figure who winks at sin, sexual perversion, and blasphemy.

The path to this deplorable state did not materialize overnight. It was paved by weak-minded men who shirked their duty to lead with biblical conviction. Over the decades, these feckless leaders, much like the Evangelical leaders we have today, capitulated to the demands of the culture, allowing secular ideologies to infiltrate and corrupt the Church. This led to an ever-increasing acceptance of practices and beliefs that oppose the clear teachings of Scripture, namely, the abominable spectacle of women in pulpits—always a foot in the door to apostasy.

The Church's willingness to tolerate false doctrines has only expedited its decline. In their futile quest to be deemed "inclusive" and "progressive," these professing churches have welcomed all sorts of heresies and perversions of the gospel, from the prosperity gospel to the social gospel. And they have embraced the lie that God's truth can be molded to fit the cultural zeitgeist, rather than standing firm on the unchanging Word of God.
