Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. once stated, "The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy." In our present culture, no issue is more pressing than human sexuality. More specifically, same-sex marriage and transgenderism have become the center of heated battles on Capital Hill.
But, even if men, women, children, politicians, and governments are confused about this topic, God is not. His enduring Word speaks loud and clear on human sexuality and has not stuttered.
For a long time, Christians have held a traditional, biblical, and conservative view on marriage, one that is heterosexual and reflects God's original design for male and female companionship.
"Many conservative Christian denominations hold the traditional view that marriage is a union between one man and one woman, based on scriptural interpretations. They often view same-sex relationships as incompatible with biblical teachings, citing passages such as Leviticus 18:22 and Romans 1:26-27. They may see same-sex marriage as a departure from God's design for human relationships and hold that marriage is an institution created by God to be between opposite-sex partners (ChatGPT)."
But, some Christians are starting to change their stances on same-sex marriage. Some are finding a middle ground and others are compromising for a more progressive view.
As we will hear in this episode, a contrast between a pastor who showed courage in the face of worldly skepticism and a pastor who caved to the world's pressure.
We hope you enjoy the show!
