The BSA


The Boy Scouts of America started in the year 1910. This means it is 103 years of age.  It has always upheld Biblical, moral and family values. This is how it started, and has continued to this very day.  It need not yield to the pressures of political correctness.  The BSA has not been immune from scandal.  The irony is that the scandals have always had to do with the practice of homosexuality among it's leadership.  The BSA takes the stand that homosexuality is immoral.  It needs to continue this stance.  It needs to continue this stance because it is the proper thing to do.  The Boy Scout Oath reads as follows:   "On my honor, I will do my best, To do my duty to God, and my country, and to obey the scout law; To help other people at all times; To keep myself physically strong;  Mentally awake, and morally straight."   I would like to make one thing perfectly clear:  My discourse has absolutely nothing to do with hatred, inclusion, exclusion, or prejudice.  It has to do with an organization's moral code that is 103 years old.  It has to do with the practice of freedom.  A critic might say something like: "Hey,  it is time to be up to date.  It is time for  modernity.  Change with the times."  To that I will respond that there is absolutely nothing new about homosexuality.  It's evil had taken over two entire cities that were large.  That was a long, long time ago.  God destroyed those two cities because of the sin of homosexuality.  "To do my duty to God, to keep myself morally straight."  What does that mean?  It means exactly what it says.  Albeit, they are objectives, goals and standards.  Who can possibly be "morally straight" all of the time?  We need to make the effort.  We do not need to take adolescent boys who are going through immense changes physically, mentally and emotionally and put them with homosexual boys in an organization that says: "It is perfectly alright to be like that or to engage in that type of sexual conduct."  Absolutely not.  I pray that the Boy Scouts of America not change their standards.  Let them do their "duty to God."  Let them pray.  Let the BSA not worry about anything.....especially money.  So what if they have lost some of their funding sources.  There are plenty of people/organizations who are happy to support young men in their quest for character development and morality.
