Ep. 94. Christianity and culture : Gender identity

Ep. 93. Christianity and culture : homosexuality and gospel hope.

Ep. 93. Christianity and culture : homosexuality and gospel hope.


"The biblical teaching is consistent and unambiguous: homosexual activity is not God’s will for his people. Silence in the face of such clarity is not prudence, and hesitation in light of such frequency is not patience. The Bible says more than enough about homosexual practice for us to say something too.. "
