Golden Hills Blog

We have recently finished our sermon series on sexuality at Golden Hills and I have had many postive responses. The one that has stuck out though, and has been repeated by many, is that fact people were blessed--and have sought to join our church--simply because we talked about sex in the first place. Apparently, there is still a feeling in some churches that sex is taboo and inappropriete to talk about. The problem is when the church silences itself on important topics, there are other voices that seek to replace it and lead people in the wrong direction.

The Bible says that we are to be a light to the world [Matthew 5:14] which means we have to deal with tricky topics from time to time. Its our responsibility to bring light into darkness--and based on the comments I have recieved people are hungry for truth, direction, and light. Psalms 104:27 in the KJV says that if people wait on the Lord He will give them "meat in due season". In other words, there are times of hunger and the church needs to serve up the spiritual food people need for nourishment.

We have a mandate to speak into darkness, and graciously, carefully, and tactfully address difficult topics. As we move into our next series, beginning March 20th on Parenting please pray for our church's influence in our community as we continually try to proclaim the light of truth in love so that people can find help, healing, direction and purpose for their lives.

Blessings,
