One of the issues we’ve been using as an illustration is the deviant lifestyle of those practicing homosexuality, as in having sexual relations with another of the same sex.

Rob Bell and the other pastors at Mars Hill Bible Church in Grand Rapids, Michigan have some serious explaining to do and need to repent, big time, for the rank heresy that’s been spewing from their pulpit lately.
