But you, beloved, ought to remember the words that were spoken beforehand by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ, that they were saying to you, “In the last time there will be mockers, following after their own ungodly lusts.” These are the ones who cause divisions, worldly-minded, devoid of the Spirit.

With much talk surrounding the recent The Manhattan Declaration Of Christian Conscience, and whether or not evangelicals should align themselves with Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox “Christians,” it seems good to bring a bit of perspective concerning Eastern Orthodoxy.

Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen. Because of this, God gave them over to […]
