[highlight]Lesson #06: SATAN’S TOOLBOX – “The Culture of Death: Homosexuality” (October 8, 2014)[/highlight]
SUMMARY: Satan’s arrows have, for all practical purposes, penetrated the heart of America – at least the hearts of her lawmakers. This past Monday, October 6, 2014, the Supreme Court of the United States declined to hear appeals involving five different states on the question of same sex marriage. In so doing, the Court effectively legalized homosexual marriage in 30 states.
As our families face the cross roads of decision morally speaking, we must know what the Bible teaches on this admittedly touchy subject. This lesson covers six areas of interest:
- Common misconceptions about homosexuality and the Lord’s church
- A word of caution
- In the News: An ongoing, uphill battle
- What does the Truth teach about homosexuality?
- Things to remember
- Scriptures to remember
