How to Respond to the Charleston Massacre


Last Sunday I spoke briefly about the recent Charleston massacre. Below is a link to a blog post that is helpful for us as we seek to bring the gospel to bear in relation to such a tragedy and the sin of racism in general.

Being Salt and Light in this World


On Sunday (July 5th) I shared with you that as a church we need to have a firm grasp of the Word of God and also an awareness of the culture in which we are living. We are called to be salt and light in this world (Matthew 5:13-16), and to do this rightly we need to be guided by the truth of God’s Word.  This is not always an easy task, and we must think clearly in so many areas of challenge that we find ourselves living in today.  For this reason, I will be passing on to you from time to time insights from men who are committed to God’s word and are insightful in terms of how to live out the truth in the world that we live.

The Supreme Court’s ruling regarding same-sex marriage is certainly reflective of a culture and legal move that is at odds with God’s truth and creative order.  Below you will find some links to blog posts that are helpful in our response to this issue.  I hope you take that time to read and think through these articles.

In Jesus,
Steve Matson
