Preparing for Secret Church Posted: 25 Oct 2011 03:45 PM PDT If your church or small group has signed up for Secret Church next Friday, November 4, we want to encourage you to set aside some intentional time in prayer as you prepare for the simulcast. In his recent interview with Trevin Wax, Pastor David had this to say concerning the topic “Famiy, Marriage, Sex, and the Gospel”: “Daniel Heimbach, who wrote a wonderful book on sexual morality and the gospel, has said: "The stakes in the current conflict over sex are more critical, more central, and more essential than in any controversy the church has ever known. This is a momentous statement, but I make it soberly, without exaggeration. Conflict over sex these days is not just challenging tradition, orthodoxy, and respect for authority in areas such as ordination, marriage, and gender roles. And it does not just affect critically important doctrines like the sanctity of human life, the authority and trustworthiness of scripture, the Trinity, and the incarnation of Christ. Rather, war over sex among Christians is now raging over absolutely essential matters of faith without which no one can truly be a Christian in the first place—matters such as sin, salvation, the gospel, and the identify of God himself." I agree with Heimbach. So we are going to dive into some of the most sensitive, and I am convinced the most important, issues that we are facing not just in our culture but in other cultures around the world. Manhood Womanhood Marriage Parenting Singleness Sex Divorce Homosexuality Same-sex marriage Polygamy Pornography Adoption Abortion I want us to look at how God's Word uniquely and redemptively addresses each of these issues. I want us to see how the gospel transforms our understanding of family, marriage, sex, and a host of related (and controversial) issues that are ultimately foundational for the display of the glory of God in our lives, in the church, and in the world.” Begin praying now for those in attendance, our time together in God’s Word, and for our hearts and minds to be transformed as we look at what scripture has to say about these issues.
