2016 Plenary Talk | 46:44:00 | All Grade Levels, Culture & Faith
Summary
In a day and time when the culture is moving swiftly away from the authority of GodÍs Word and from the Gospel of Jesus Christ, how do we faithfully fulfill our Christ-centered missions? When we are called hateful and bigoted because of our beliefs, how should we respond? The importance of the First Amendment protection of freedom of religion has never been more important to define and defend as we stand firm in our convictions.
