I saw on the news that Sarah Palin has come under attack for the same issues that our pastor referred to as the issues of our day: abortion and homosexuality. I have to say that I wasn't surprised that she was being attacked for her beliefs, but I was surprised to hear her church referred to as a " sect" of the evangelical church.
Always before this type of language has referred to a very negative thing - think about where you have heard this word used - ever heard of a "polygamist sect" yeah - me too, of course we don't think polygamy is correct, even main stream mormons don't believe in that. So sect is a word used to describe a radical group of people who are dangerous to society as a whole - polygamist sects are dangerous - we all saw them on the news in their cotton candy colored dresses marched up and down the court house stairs - children were abused, women were abused - all in all it was sickening.
Where else have you heard that word used - ever heard of a "radical muslim sect" that means those people are terrorists - they believe in a war to be waged on innocent people - again they are a danger to society as a whole.
So does speaking against sin make you a part of an "evangelical sect"? If you do share your beliefs are you a danger to society as a whole? Is the day coming when Christians will be arrested for their beliefs?

This didn't happen in China, not in Russia, not even in Europe - this happened in the USA
So commit yourselves wholeheartedly to these words of mine. Tie them to your hands and wear them on your forehead as reminders. Teach them to your children. Talk about them when you are at home and when you are on the road, when you are going to bed and when you are getting up. Write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates, so that as long as the sky remains above the earth, you and your children may flourish in the land the Lord swore to give your ancestors. Dueteronomy 11:18-21
