The stage is set, the band ready, and the players have all assembled for the big dance. Friends, mark this down, the day is now here that any church, ministry or otherwise, who speaks in a measure which is labeled as intolerant, or hateful when it comes to homosexuality, that same organization will face the wrath of a tolerant society.
This is why I believe small churches (250 or less) won't make it in the future simply because of the fear of litigation challenges by just one individual will shutter their doors. Mid-sized churches (500-1,500) will survive for a season, but the growing demand for recognition of same-sex rights under the guise of religious hate speech will force these churches to either silence their objection to this practice, or find themselves at risk for Federal laws enacted to protect a small minority.
Even the mega-churches will have already agreed to keep silent on the matter of the gay lifestyle, simply to keep their image going of being seen as "loving", as well as tolerant in the days to come. They will have sold out for the sum price of a potters field.
Mark my words, the church will face its greatest challenge in the coming decade. And no, we will NOT be victorious in the end, because the word says that we (the church) will be hunted, persecuted and railed against by this growing movement whose sole purpose is to silence the majority, by the minority.

2 Thessalonians 2:3 … Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
Revelation 2:20-22 … Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols. And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not. Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.
Revelation 13:7 … And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.❤
