Now is the Time | Jermell Witherspoon

August 21, 2022 • Jermell Witherspoon

Now is the time to embody the radical inclusivity of the Gospel for all people, and all persons. We each are walking into the glorious freedom that Jesus offers us, whether we know it or not, and whether we have all the answers or not. And instead of keeping others from experience that same freedom, we each have the opportunity to participate in helping others experience that very same freedom for themselves, even if it seems outside of traditional boundaries and rules.

Sunday, August 14th 2022 | Friends of Common Good The church’s condemnation of same-sex relationships and transgender people causes serious harm to LGBTQ people. Our experience shouldn’t lead us to revise Scripture, but it can lead us to revisit our understanding of it. At the end of the day, good teachings should bear good fruit. Matthew Vines is the author of God and the Gay Christian: The Biblical Case in Support of Same-Sex Relationships, and is the founder of The Reformation Project http://(https://reformationproject.org/)
