Celebrate Sexual Ethics. Don't Apologize for Them.

Over the last five years, an increasing number of believers have changed their stance on sexual ethics and slipped from the grounded banks of orthodoxy into the current of the times. Several public figures, in particular, have come out as "affirming" and brought thousands with them. Those of us with a historic, biblical view feel at times defensive or discouraged, and our posture—quite understandably—is one of "holding our ground" against theological erosion.

In the midst of this tumult, we risk losing sight of what the church has to offer: not just a critique of false teaching (although that's needed) but an alternative model, a bold vision of how orthodoxy enables deep, well-ordered love. As we encourage others to "stay on the bank," we have the privilege of pointing them toward a picture that reveals God's purpose for human sexuality.
