5 Lies
What would you think, and how would you react, if you heard someone announce what is being called five lies of our Anti-Christian age?
Homosexuality is normal.
Being a spiritual person is kinder than being a biblical Christian.
Feminism is good for the church and the world.
Transgenderism is normal.
Modesty is an outdated burden that serves male dominance and holds women back.
Stunned? Wrong? Surprised? Over the top? Outrageous? Unloving? What is your reaction?
Rosaria Butterfield (writer, speaker, homemaker, pastor’s wife, former lesbian activist, and tenured professor of English at Syracuse University) just released a provocative book that calls for the church to repent of five common lies about sexuality, faith, feminism, gender roles, and modesty that are often promoted in our culture and churches today. It is written for Christian mothers and grandmothers but elucidates the truth for all believers about the front-line battle we are facing today.
Let me appeal to you to sit down and watch a riveting interview Rosaria had with Pastor Kevin DeYoung on his podcast last week about her book and how these lies are playing out in the church. The interview is longer, but well worth your time (one hour, 23 minutes). Five Lies of Our Anti-Christian Age with Rosaria Butterfield.
We, as God’s people, must stay away from the anti-gospel beliefs and stay laser focused on what and how the gospel truly transforms.
