Gender Confusion Among Penguins?

Okay I was shocked to read this story at foxnews.com. The article here is about how two gay penguins are raising a baby chick that has hatched without a mother present. The article in its entirety can be found by clicking here. Now this leads me to ask the question what challenges will the church face in the upcoming years? What issues will the church deal with over the next 10 to 20 years?

There are certainly some issues that the church will always face. One is there will always be a battle over whether or not the Bible is true without theological error. The second issue will be over the person and work of Jesus Christ. The deity of Christ and His work on the cross has always been under attack and always will be. Third will be social issues when it comes to marriage, family and gender. Genesis 1:26 is going to be a key text throughout the next 10 to 20 years. We are going to have to answer questions like “What is a family?” “Can two homosexuals adopt children and raise them, just as effectively as two heterosexual parents?” “Is homosexual marriage okay?” We see now these issues creeping into the animal kingdom. These are issues that I encourage to look Biblical at and begin to look at answering because the questions and attacks will continue to come.
