The Truth About Sexual Sin

Everywhere you look, sexual sin is on display. It is glamorized, promoted, and taught to our children at a very young age. How are pastors to address and condemn this sin while society is demanding everyone embrace it? In today’s episode, Pastor Chris Gordon is joined by Rev. Bill Boekestein of Immanuel Fellowship Church in Kalamazoo, Michigan, and Rev. Joel Dykstra from Wellandport URC in Southern Ontario, Canada. They discuss the Sexual Revolution’s explosive effect on society and the church, and pinpoint the one thing that didn’t happen that led to the end of Christendom. They look at the challenges they’ve faced addressing this rapid change in culture and recognize the importance for all of us in sharing God’s word with kindness, and understanding, while being mindful of our own sins as we address the sins of others.
