Join Pastors Mike Sutcliffe and Kraig Dorney (Corner Fringe Ministries) and Pastors Nate Oyloe and Lucca Jo Groppoli (AgapeFirstMinistries.org) for a 3-week roundtable discussion regarding how our culture's modern concept of sexuality is at war with the image of God.
Dates and topics include:
• July 16 @ 7 PM - The Battle for the Hearts and Minds of Humanity
We’ll explore where our influence comes from (families, social media, entertainment, government, etc.).
• July 23 @ 7 PM - Equipping the Saints to Contend for the Faith
We’ll talk through several scenarios and how we, as believers, can effectively influence others.
• July 30 @ 7 PM - Restoring God’s Image in Our Homes
We’ll identify tools and next steps we can take to make a different in our homes and our communities.

Are we supposed to let our kids read just anything?
Is it true that we are to give our children a wide diet of knowledge, giving them principles of conduct -- and then let them choose what is right and wrong?
Some people say that our children can "listen to other perspectives without having their faith destroyed" -- and they include a lot of bad books in their children's curriculum because of this.
This is hogwash and very dangerous. Pretend we were living in the biblical land of Israel, around the time of Joshua. Are we supposed to teach our children a wide range of knowledge of how the Canaanites live, then give them principles of conduct, then let them go mingle with the Canaanites so they can learn to choose wisely?
The book of Deuteronomy absolutely says the opposite. We are not to learn the ways of the nations (Deuteronomy 12:29-32), and instead, we are to walk and talk with our kids all day about only right things from the Torah (Deuteronomy 11:18-23). And if someone enticed our children to sin, if we were in Israel, that person would die (Deuteronomy 13). Later in the dispersion, books that were bad were burned by the early believers in Yeshua (Acts 19:19), which tells me what we are to do with bad books. ?
Guard your children! Be a doorkeeper!

In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, to the praise of his glory.
Ephesians 1:13-14
As delivering the covenant to the Hebrews at Sinai on Sukkot guaranteed their inheritance in the Land, so does the delivering of the Holy Spirit at #shavuot (aka #pentecost) in Acts 2 guarantee our inheritance in the Kingdom of #yeshua.
