It starts in the universities

Reading articles on the BBC news website shows that there is a huge spiritual battle raging through our universities about Christian Unions

I remember reading books like Spycatcher whilst at school (when it was still banned during the late 1980's) and spies would recruit agents and helpers and other spies by trawling the corridors of well established universities such as oxford or cambridge to entice and recruit candidates for future spy programmes.

Now our universities are hotbeds of ideas and ideals, and they claim that all societies should become 'universal' and embrace and adopt the practices of our sad world to include those who practice homosexuality and all types of others.
There is nothing wrong with inviting these people to join in the discussions but the battle is for these people to also be invited to be the leaders of the Christian Unions should the opportunities arise. This is a far different matter entirely. The battle is here. If there is to be genuine Christian Unions with genuine values based on biblical principles then people who are not genuine in their belief should never be allowed to be leaders.
If this is fundamentalism then so be it.
The world is falling faster into the arms of the devil without many people even realising it. I think going back to basics and being fundamental is vital for the Christian church to survive even the next 80 to 100 years because without genuine young people being interested and taking up leadership positions and responsibilities basing their lives and values on the bible and the teachings of Jesus, then the church will fail.

Jude 17 - 23 But you, beloved, ought to remember the words that were spoken beforehand by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ,that they were saying to you, "In the last time there shall be mockers, following after their own ungodly lusts." These are the ones who cause divisions, worldly-minded, devoid of the Spirit. But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith; praying in the Holy Spirit; keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting anxiously for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to eternal life. And have mercy on some, who are doubting; save others, snatching them out of the fire; and on some have mercy with fear, hating even the garment polluted by the flesh.

Revelation 2 v 1 - 7 "To the angel of the church in Ephesus write: The One who holds the seven stars in His right hand, the One who walks among the seven golden lampstands, says this: 'I know your deeds and your toil and perseverance, and that you cannot endure evil men, and you put to the test those who call themselves apostles, and they are not, and you found them to be false; and you have perseverance and have endured for My name's sake, and have not grown weary. 'But I have this against you, that you have left your first love. 'Remember therefore from where you have fallen, and repent and do the deeds you did at first; or else I am coming to you, and will remove your lampstand out of its place--unless you repent. 'Yet this you do have, that you hate the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate. 'He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, I will grant to eat of the tree of life, which is in the Paradise of God.'

Be strong in the universities and the church will remain strong.
May Jesus soon return.
