Evangelical leaders are succumbing to the LGBTQ agenda, and Daily Wire reporter Megan Basham has the evidence in her just-released book, “Shepherds for Sale: How Evangelical Leaders Traded Truth for a Left-Wing Agenda.”
“You have an organization purporting to be a ministry that is funded by the secular, left-wing gay lobby,” Basham says. Allie Beth Stuckey “Relatable” points out that the Arcus Foundation is one of them.
The foundation was founded in 2000 and is the largest LGBTQ grant-making organization in the country.
“What the Arcus Foundation started out doing was, ‘How can we reform church doctrine in conservative clergy and conservative denominations?’ And they did,” Basham said.
“They’re putting this curriculum in place,” she continues, “and I don’t think a lot of churches realize that activists are being trained to change this doctrine.”
Stuckey knows one pastor in particular who has embraced the change, pointing to a recent sermon by the Rev. Andy Stanley.
“He basically said that homosexuality is different from other sins, because to say that homosexuality is a sin is to say that a person’s nature is sin,” Stuckey said. “This is a totally unbiblical view of sexuality and identity.”
Other more widely known figures also promote left-wing policies towards the church.
His name is George Soros.
“His foundation started funding a secular-left immigration NGO called the National Immigration Forum, and realized around 2013, 2015, if they wanted to finally pass immigration reform, what we call very loose border policy, they needed to sway the evangelical vote on this issue,” Basham told Stuckey.
So they partnered with the National Association of Evangelicals and created the Evangelical Immigration Table, which Basham calls a “front organization.”
“To be very clear, the goal is not to evangelize undocumented immigrants, to feed and clothe people regardless of how they got there,” Basham explains. “It’s specifically policy focused.”
Organizations such as the ERLC and the Council of Christian Colleges and Universities have also been heavily involved with these groups.
“They were all involved with this group,” Basham continues, “which is under the umbrella of secular-left immigrant NGOs and is funded by people like George Soros in a program designed to target conservative voters, particularly evangelicals.”
