Dear Watchmen,
The next item on the LGBTQ+ agenda for the Evangelical Church appears to be an "Audit" to see how inclusive our churches are of sexual minorities. Living Out, a "Gay (but celibate) Christian" organization launched by The Gospel Coalition, has published a 10 point test to determine if churches are fully LGBTQI+ (all sexual minorities) inclusive. It is expected that many churches will comply to preserve their tax-exempt status and eventually the US government will force compliance through the White House Faith Based Partnership Program. Many Christians do not know that former Pres. Obama's LGBT Non-Discrimination Order for religious institutions involved in Faith Based Parternships has never been rescinded by President Trump.
Lest anyone believe that the "gay Christians" wanting membership in Evangelical churches are celibate as they claim, a lesbian speaker at the Revoice conference confirmed they are "not particularly good at it," as the the LGBTQ+ attendees laughed:
"The final thing I want to say… Most of us, the large majority of us are here because we are trying to live in obedience to the 'Christian sexual ethic.' This is such a dumb phrase. I apologize but you guys kind of know what I mean. What for us is the basis for that obedience? It's not that typically that we're particularly good at it. (laughter) For those of us who aspire to the fidelity of David (winces/audience laughs), what is the basis of our obedience? When I first became a Christian I mostly thought about it in terms of self-mistrust. Because I knew myself to be untrustworthy, I thought that was good enough reason to obey the Church." (Revoice 2018, Eve Tushnet)
The Living Out and Revoice movement are the camel's nose under the tent, which will soon be followed by the whole camel in the tent, i.e., sexually active LGBTs coming "out" and becoming church members with all the rights and privileges of membership, including marriage and ministry posistions. The most alarming requirement is #9, for church members to "share their children" with LGBTQI+ members. Be not deceived, the plus (+) sign is for other sexual minorities, including "minor-attracted persons" who are now demanding to be added to the LGBTQ acronym.
Christians who are expecting their Conservative policy institutions to defend them against this aggression need to know that even the Heritage Foundation has been collaborating behind the scenes with LGBTQ leaders. Details of this development and the TGC Church Audit are presented by Thomas Littleton in the following articles:

"But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer." 1 Peter 4:7
"Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown." Rev. 3:10-11
