His father was a strict preacher.
How does Andy get around the bible that calls it an abomination.
These men who teach and have followers.. Accept this lifestyle as ok with God.. And teaches it.. And Invite young people who try to do right and reject that lifestyle.. Are told by the church it’s OK and do what you want.
Its not okay to make up their own rendition that could destroy a family who are praying for a son or daughter.. You don’t have that right.
Temptations come.. Don’t weasel out..
Jesus didn't say "Okey Doaky, go and do your thing!"
God said don’t steal. Also said that a man is not to lie with a man, like he would with a woman. One cannot say stealing is a sin, but sodomy is ok...no matter what ones psychological condition is .
A. Stanley is erring greatly.. If he doesn’t listen and change , he is proven a heretic. No need to argue after the initial serious discussion .. Leave him alone or let Satan have him. It’s over for him, except for a miracle of Gods grace, which I would like to see. Praying for him is in order, but it’s up to God.
Capitulation to the spirit of the world.

Here's a passage that stands out in my mind:
[...]Andy Stanley is either naïve or crafty. Either way, he’s dangerous. He’s naïve if he thinks he can host the Unconditional Conference and it will not corrupt the church’s teaching on sexual ethics. Or he’s crafty and is using this conference to change the theology of his church and possibly other churches. Either way, he’s dangerous.
I don't think Andy is naive. I think he knows exactly what he's doing.
It's not surprising though. Our entire nation has been indoctrinated in the Woke ideology.
Andy's great damage to the country and Christianity is that he's influencing many people in the lie.
He's no longer a person being influenced...he's now a major influencer.
He's leading many people to hell.
God made man and women distinctively different yet uniquely compatible and complementary, and only joined them together in marriage - as the Lord Jesus Himself specified (Mt. 19:4–6) - and Scripture only condemns homosexual relations wherever they are manifestly dealt with.
And homosexual relations have been tragically primarily responsible for approx. 80% of new HIV cases among men and over 700,000 American deaths, though such is not even the decisive reason why homosexual relations are wrong.
Yet there is still room at the cross for all who will come to God in repentance and faith, and trust in the Divine Son of God sent by the Father, the risen Lord Jesus, to save them on His account, by His sinless shed blood, and thus be baptized and live for Him. Acts 10:36-47
It would not surprise me in the least if Andy Stanley came out as “queer“ in the next five or six years. He could headline the next gay pride parade.
Never be fooled about the aim of the “woke” in bringing DEI into the religious sphere. It is really about DESTRUCTION. If if were really about DEI they would have just set up their own churches/religions. The left is never forthright in anything they do because what they wish to achieve is anathema to every thing America and Western Civilization is founded upon.
