separation

I remember recommending a Christian book on Autism, and one brother brought it to my attention that the author had committed suicide. I had to ponder whether to continue to use the book (which I did), partly because it would be unlikely that readers would find this out, partly because it didn’t change the quality of the book.

Hillsong is both a sort of denomination/movement and a musical group, producing some popular praise choruses (Mighty to Save, Shout to the Lord),

The belief system of the church/group is of the “name it and claim it” type, not just charismatic.

Lately, it seems like the church/group is no longer willing to condemn the gay lifestyle, which is troubling to those of use who hold a Biblical position.

A woman from our church had some free literature from “Service of Friendship Mission.” The gospel presentation seemed solid, but I went online and the meager website offers no doctrinal statement and does not appear to belong to any mission organization.

They are headquartered in Switzerland. Although the gospel presentation is solid, I am suspicious of any church or organization that doesn’t offer a doctrinal statement.

To what extent should Christians support public policy which reflects God’s standards? If we support these policies, but couch our support in secular reasoning, are we achieving anything meaningful? As a foil for this discussion, I’ll use the example of gays in the military.
