Writing for the American Family Association’s One News Now, Michael Youssef of Leading The Way ministries is urging Christians to quit the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A) after the denomination voted to allow the ordination of gay and lesbian ministers. Youssef, who previously declared that the Episcopal Church couldn’t be Christian because of its support of gay rights, is now insisting that Presbyterians and Episcopalians leave their churches because “these denominations have chosen darkness” and are committed to “the spread of apostasy.” Youssef lamented that the churches submitted to “this Chinese water torture method of homosexual lobbying,” they have sealed their own demise:
All true Christian believers, whether they are Presbyterians or not, must be weeping right now over the spread of apostasy. Dr. Albert Mohler, president of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, accurately refers to it as “following Jesus while rejecting the Bible.”
Many of us have seen this Chinese water torture method of homosexual lobbying in both denominations coming for many years. We have known that it’s only a matter of time. And yet, when it becomes reality, it is so hard to comprehend.
Today, I’m appealing to all faithful Presbyterians in the PC(USA) and Episcopalians to vote with your feet and get out of these churches as fast as you can. As I mention in my latest book The Greatest Lie, this type of preaching is now invading many mainline and evangelical churches.
There can be no excuse.
No, you cannot stay and be a witness.
No, you cannot stay and try to change things.
No, you cannot stay and hope that you will be a light.
These denominations have chosen darkness, and they need to experience what true darkness is all about by not having any believers inside their walls.
To modify slightly the words of the apostle Paul, the faithful believers ought to deliver these institutions to Satan by walking out as fast as they can. (1 Corinthians 5:4-5)
Come quickly, Lord Jesus!
