Quite pointedly, the [[church]] now has massive liabilities in terms of credibility when it seeks to speak about the ‘clear teachings of the [[Bible]]’ on marriage. ... [[Christian]]s must look each other in the eye and remind one another of what is now required of us—to speak the truth, to live the truth, and to bear witness to the truth whether we are invited to the [[White House]] or treated as [[exile]]s. The rest is in God’s hands.”'' |

| | + | * ''We Cannot Be Silent: Speaking Truth to a Culture Redefining Sex, Marriage, and the Very Meaning of Right and Wrong''– In 200 well-documented pages Albert Mohler explains how the [[sexual revolution]] – which is decisively destroying millennia of accumulated cultural, religious and ethical tradition - came about, what its ramifications are, and how [[believer]]s should respond. Major chapters in this book examine in detail the homosexual revolution, the homosexual war on marriage and family, and the transgender revolution.<ref name="CW4NOV2016"/> |
