“de facto legal” & “de facto moral” are the way those of the world – the lawless – justify themselves when they violate “the ordinance of man” (1 Peter 2:13 ff.) and God, or sanction others doing so.

What has this church-based lawlessness to do with Biblical holiness?

Sean, have you shared your views on drugs with the pastor, and with the youth pastor or leader of your church? Or are you flying “stealth”? You’re their headache.

Can’t continue this conversation, am off to Nairobi and from there north to the Sudanese border this evening, to teach Sudanese church leaders for a brief period. See y’all when I get back – or sooner if I have time and a computer connection.
