In the November 10, 2012 L.A. Times reported that Jim Daly, President of Focus on the Family, is declaring that Christian conservatives have lost the fight against same-sex marriage. The L.A. Times reported that Daly was interested in a more bipartisan plan and finding common ground with liberals and the Obama Administration. Daly was reported in the L.A. Times to have said "Maybe we've been looking in the wrong direction and we’ve got to be more ecumenical.”"Brannon explains why he believes in the coming years more and more pro-family groups will become more ecumenical and become silent on the issue of same-sex marriage in order to remain “relevant,” popular, and effective in fund-raising. As a new generation of “conservatives” and “Christian Americans” no longer see same-sex marriage as unbiblical, but instead the new civil rights movement, more and more pro-family groups will choose to be silent on the controversial issues of which their own base has abandoned. Such groups will be led by the same pragmatism that caused them several years ago to justify their ecumenical projects and partnership with false teachers in order to increase their donor base and the success of their organizations.Brannon explains that such a trend should come as no surprise because many pro-family groups abandoned a commitment to Biblical theology and doctrine years ago. Once Biblical theology is no longer defended and no longer the foundation; the standard natural becomes pragmatism and the cultural stream. The goal of Churches and Christian” organizations will increasingly become about worldly success, attracting and maintaining donors and appearing relevant.To aid in making his case, Brannon plays a recent audio clip by Dr. John MacArthur in which he explained to his congregation the Sunday after the re-election of President Obama that their focus should not be supporting those fighting the culture war and political battles but those preaching the gospel.
