The Supreme Court of the United States is set to hand down a set of
decisions this summer that could advance a cultural and political shift
in the way marriage is defined in this country. Is your church ready
for this?
By that, I don’t mean whether your church has a position on the
definition of marriage, or whether your people are ready to express
their opinions or vent their outrage on social media or talk radio. All
that’s easy. The question is whether our churches are ready to create
marriage cultures that matter, regardless of the cultural moment.
In a few weeks, my denomination, the Southern Baptist Convention,
will gather in Houston for our annual meeting. If you’re coming, you’re invited to a special conversation about reclaiming a marriage culture in troubled times, sponsored by the Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission.
I’ll be joined by my friends, pastors David Platt and J.D. Greear,
women’s ministry leader Susie Hawkins, and Paige Patterson, the
president of Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. We’ll talk about
how you can get your congregation ready to think through the next
fifty years of discipleship on marriage. Continue at Russell D. Moore
