The Bible NEVER Mentions Homosexuality!?... Is that True? | Live Free with Josh Howerton
Josh HowertonAbout this sermon
Can Christians stand for truth without becoming angry, harsh, or compromising? In a culture where conversations about identity, sexuality, personal freedom, and truth dominate headlines and social media feeds, many believers find themselves pulled between two extremes: conviction without compassion or compassion without conviction. In this episode, Carlos Erazo and Paul Cunningham tackle some of today's most challenging cultural questions while exploring one of the most misunderstood emotions in the Christian life—anger. Through Scripture and practical wisdom, they discuss God's design for sexuality, why truth and love must remain together, the difference between righteous and sinful anger, and how followers of Jesus can engage difficult conversations without being controlled by outrage, fear, or cultural pressure. If you've ever wondered how to stand firmly on God's Word while reflecting the grace and character of Christ, this conversation is for you. In This Episode: • The difference between righteous anger and sinful anger • Why human anger rarely produces God's righteousness • How to respond to controversial cultural issues biblically • God's design for sexuality and identity • Did Jesus affirm same-sex relationships? • How Christians can engage culture without compromising conviction • Practical ways to reflect the character of Christ in difficult conversations Truth without love becomes harsh.
