Set for this coming July 26-28 in St. Louis Missouri is the conference 'Revoice' - a conference looking to affirm those who wish to identify as both homosexual and Christian. In addition to Revoice, an October conference in Cincinnati, Ohio (largely directed toward youth pastors) is set with the same agenda. Joining Jim today to discuss this is Peter LaBarbera. Peter is the Founder and President of Americans for Truth about Homosexuality.
Crosstalk issues 'Warning' to the biblical church as these so called 'Christian conferences' are promoting the support, encouragement and empowerment of those identifying with the LGBTQ movement. The hope being that these so labeled, will 'flourish while observing the historic Christian doctrine of marriage and sexuality.' However, promoted is a 'new gospel community' reaching out to Church leadership everywhere - blurring the lines and equipping Pastors to implement the thinking (teaching) from these conferences.
While these groups have a very welcoming persona, Peter LaBarbera has been told he can not attend Revoice. LaBarbera shares this recent experience and exposes how even though Revoice Conference claims to hold to traditional, biblical values - what they are indeed standing up for is actually pushing perversion into the mainstream. LaBarbera offers much commentary and answers for how the Church need take heed to this warning and respond. Crosstalk takes your calls.
