• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book presents the reality that today's Church faces a strong and growing influence of a society that has embraced and celebrates the various immoral lifestyles. It has become clear that many local churches and their spiritual leaders face the reality of such lifestyles but have to deal with members who also have accepted and embraced primarily homosexual relationships. Even many spiritual leaders are OK with welcoming LGBTQI people into their midst without any efforts to help people overcome such lifestyles. There are church leaders who accept LGBTQI people without any support from the Bible, in which many Bible verses condemn immoral lifestyles. Jesus, Himself firmly warns Christians against taking these sinful lifestyles. This book also describes how church members can help those who want to leave a homosexual relationship. The book also includes a chapter 'Social Sciences on Sexual Orientation.'

I think Book Two sheds a lot of light on the current political climate in North America: a) explaining factors that led to Andrew Sheer's faith based values being rejected in the marketplace, and b) Donald Trump's support by "Christians," as a reaction to the "radical liberalism" perceived to be embodied by Obama."
