The Focus On The Family Trainwreck

Well I've almost finished the cleanup operation of scraping my jaw up off the floor. James Dobson has stepped down as the CEO of Focus on the Family and handed over the reigns to Jim Daly. Jim Daly's opening speech was nothing short of a shocker. For a ministry that has been at the forefront of the fight against abortion and gay marriage, I never imagined in my wildest dreams that I would hear the words that Daly uttered:
What we want to see are more families like Barack Obama's.
What is going on here??? Has the man lost his mind, is he just plain stupid, biblically illiterate, does he fear man and not God, or all of the above? But wait – there's more! The Jim Daly train wreck just continued in spectacular pragmatic, compromising, and biblically ignorant fashion:
But we can respect what Obama does well. We can focus more on the positive. And I respect his family.
Yes, let's just overlook the fact that Obama supports murder of the unborn and also those who survive the murderous practice of abortion.
Daly says he is results-oriented, not an ideologue (what's that smell . . . ahh pragmatism).
When those who are right, left and center all say, 'Let's make abortion rare,' let's meet at that starting point. Let's shove off the rhetoric and get together on practical matters.
Yeah right! Like Obama's policies are decreasing the abortion rate – NOT!
I cannot be Dr. Dobson. I'm hoping for a different pair of shoes. He's black and white - a scientist. That's a good thing. He's provided clarity for the culture. For me, it's more about having a conversation with people.
Sounding very emergent there Jim.
