With each passing day, Christians are confronted with an increasingly secular society seeking to silence all of those who do not sing from the hymnbook of sexual revolution, said Moore. We’ll plan to address these issues this June at the annual meeting of the SBC, and I invite all to come to these events to think through how we can engage the culture with a gospel focus and a gospel answer.”
