Living Sent

This post is no less than a shameless plug for one of my friends, Ashley Sellars, who is going on a missions trip in a few weeks. Ashley will be leaving in January for a 6-12 month trip (or possibly longer) in Danja, Niger to “serve [as a nurse] and help the ladies who are suffering with Obstetric Fistulas” at a new hospital recently built by The Worldwide Fistula Fund.

Secret Church on Sexuality and Gender Roles

Dating. Marriage. Divorce. Pornography. Polygamy. Manhood. Womanhood. Adoption. Abortion. These are some of the toughest topics that today’s generation is wrestling to define. Those who contend for a more conservative view are seen as closed-minded, intolerant, and oppressive. Those who contend for a liberal view are seen as scandalous, immoral, and militant about their rights. There is something much bigger at stake in all of this though. It isn’t about personal freedoms or academic definitions or philosophical distinctions. It’s about the gospel.
