    2:40 Kissing isn't sexual, FYI. Only if you choose to do so out of lust and not genuine love, then you open the door to a slippery slope of sexual sin.

    Read the Bible if you want to know God's word. You cannot change God's word because you don't like it. That's what the LGBT community want to do. They need to leave the church alone.

    The only way you're going to combat that 28% figure from infecting Gen Z even further is by finding and actually addressing the root causes. What to avoid, what to actively look out for, etc. Spreading and speaking Biblical truth as well as showing empathy for those who have been infected is only half of the battle. Other than that, this is a good sermon. I applaud you for not sugarcoating the truth, just don't be afraid.

    This was a good one to listen to after the Deconstruction topic these last few weeks. I just happened upon it, scrolling & trying to keep my mind busy. It really nails the current holiday atmosphere. As someone who has really clung to Christ my whole life, gatherings with my family can feel tense. I miss Grandparents praying over dinner. I miss the joy of celebrating Gods faithfulness with family. My last surviving Grandmother was talking with me last Christmas about a trip to Arizona after her sister passed and telling me how God helped her through so many impossible situations while she was doing paperwork and selling my aunts car and navigating a place she had never been and God just lined it up all perfectly for her. And she trusted him fully. It was amazing to see the joy and enthusiasm on her face to know God is that good. That level of faith is dying. And I can only hope I am and can be that reflection of Christ to my children and grandchildren someday when other family members' worldly belief systems are so self centered and superficial.

    The ending statements hit me. My dad died almost exactly a year ago. It was very humbling cleaning out his things. All the material things that were important to him ended up being donated or put in the trash. Knowing that he was a believer, and left the legacy of children and grandchildren who also believe, is priceless. Really puts life into perspective.
