I'm not saying that the church should remain silent on the issue at all. That was one of my biggest problems with the reasons/excuses they gave for AIDS being so rampant amongst blacks. The church should be doing more, and T.D. Jakes' remark about the church not being about to hone in on one issue is a load of crap to me. I know the church has addressed teenage pregnancy and drug use before, but I've never heard the church say the answer to teenage pregnancy is the practice of safer sex or the answer to drug abuse is clean needles. That's not addressing the issue of why those behaviors are taking place. If the church's stance is abstinence, I don't think they should compromise that just because society accepts fornication, homosexuality, or adultery. But that's just my opinion.
