About this listen

 Does the Bible really condemn same-sex attraction? …does it condemn premarital sex? In this series, we look at the many things surrounding sex that Christians have been taught or mistaught. We start with the Old Testament “clobber verses” used INCORRECTLY to condemn gay Christians. We discuss queer-affirming scriptures from Christ and the prophets. We talk about the teaching of sexual purity. How many churches are teaching young Christians non-Biblical rules that few can follow. And the guilt, shame and poor decisions that follow. This is a queer-positive and affirming view of the Bible.Elton Sherwin Christianity Spirituality

    47. The Assassination of Charlie Kirk - A Biblical Response
    Sep 15 2025

    Last week’s murder of Charlie Kirk has been challenging for many Christians.


    How should we Christians think about the assassination of Charlie Kirk?

    I found this sermon by Pastor Dave Peterson helpful. Delivered on September 14 as, Spiritually Formed: By Mercy, I hope you find comfort and insight in it as well.
