To start let me say I am a member of PCUSA and I have traced my Scottish ancestors back nearly 400 years and they include many Presbyterian ministers. That said...

A while ago I was watching a documentary on the Viet Nam war and in one battle (I can’t remember which) the Viet Cong infiltrated the defensive perimeter of the base at night. Fearing that the strategic base was about to be overrun the ranking officer called in air strikes on his own position, knowing that both US soldiers and enemy alike would be hit. It was either this or lose the base at a greater future cost.

Lately, as I watch the moral decline in the US and now this in my once-beloved Presbyterian Church I’ve been wondering if I should pray to God to send down his wrath on us. The enemy has infiltrated, the cost will be high, but it may be the only way save our position.

This hits close for lots of us. Unfortunately a lot of local congregations that don't spend any time worrying about anything other than very local congregational issues (such as who brings what to the covered dish fellowship) will need to stand up, and possibly get splintered in the process.

Hope is not lost, just moved to a new location. Check out Presbyterian PCA or Presbyterian OPC churches in your area... No doubt you will find something much more to your liking. Or there are Reformed Baptists, or the Dutch Reformed/Christian Reformed... Orthodox Calvinists abound.
