Romans 1:24-28 | Practical Application

In this sermon, Pastor Blaine provides a practical grid for navigating cultural questions, especially around LGBTQ issues. He outlines four categories: clear biblical commands, contextual principles, wisdom, and Christian liberty. Using this filter, he argues that Christians cannot attend same-sex weddings or use preferred pronouns, since doing so affirms what Scripture calls untrue. He emphasizes that standing firm on truth may strain relationships, but faithfulness to Christ must come first. At the same time, believers are called to speak truth with love, live graciously, and be a paradox to the world—holding conviction without cruelty and welcoming people back with the gospel when they turn to Christ.
