Confronting Sin

​What is the Christian stance in the face of anti-biblical behavior? When a pastor makes a controversial statement, how is the Christian community supposed to react? Rev. Chris Gordon and Rev. Dr. Daniel Borvan continue their conversation on Alistair Begg’s recent statements on attending a gay wedding. They discuss the desperate need for churches to step in and handle these situations ecclesiastically and how that action can minimize backlash. They talk about the tricky balance of Christians confronting people in their sin, but still doing it in a caring, appropriate way to bring them to the truth.
