The Messy 8

The Messy 8 in 2008

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This year in preaching, the pastor will attempt to deal with 8 “messy” questions that Christians must wrestle with in our culture.

 

The questions raise issues that impact how people of faith in Jesus live out the NT principle that “love does no harm to its neighbor.” (Rom. 13:10)

 

The Questions:

~ January                      Is Abortion Abhorrent to God?

~ February                    Does God Hate Homosexuals?

~ April                            Are Rich Christians a Contradiction?

~ May                              Is War Just?

~ June                             Would You Let a Person with AIDS Cough on You?

~ September                 Is God Green?

~ October                     What’s the Real American Idol?

~ November                 Is God a Democrat or a Republican?

 

You have heard that it was said, “Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.”  But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in Heaven.  Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly father is perfect. Matt. 5: 43–48
