On popular issues like poverty and slavery, about which Christians are likely to be applauded for our social action, we’re quick to stand up and speak out. Yet on controversial issues like homosexuality and abortion, about which Christians are likely to be criticized for our social action, we’re content to sit down and stay quiet. So the aim in this Bible study is to call us to a contrite, compassionate but courageous response on the battle lines in our culture with the gospel. This Bible study is aimed toward helping one another think through how to apply the gospel consistently in our culture in such a way that we’re able to speak the gospel clearly to our culture.
