The High Cost of Denying the Obvious

A Five-Part Series with an Epilogue

No one would look at a tornado and call the weather calm and beautiful. Yet today many are doing something just as bizarre. They’re denying nature’s clear teachings regarding marriage, sexuality, and human relationships. These denials have derailed our culture from stability and cohesiveness. By lovingly affirming the truth in these areas, you can help put the culture back on track. It won’t be easy, but very few causes are more deserving of concerned citizens’ sincere efforts.

The good news is that we who know the truth can help society get back on track.

The High Cost of Denying the Obvious: Epilogue
The Response of the Church

How should the church respond in a culture bereft of truth, one that is being misled by myths and lies about sex, marriage, and human relationships? Scripture is clear regarding the duties of believers to be discerning and to warn the culture. Pastors and other church leaders must take these responsibilities very seriously.
