Summary

City Church San Francisco recently wrote a letter about their views and ministry towards those attending City and associate with LGBTQ. City Church now affirms that homosexual sex is justified within the context of marriage. How should we respond to this? Surely the Church welcomes sinners, otherwise Her pews would be empty, but why has City gone so far to disregard scripture? With any sin, there can be real physical dangers aside from the obvious spiritual ones. Carl, Aimee, & Todd do not shy away from speaking up and sharing their concerns on the matter. They also offer some helpful resources you'll want to read.If you have enjoyed this week's instalment of Bull Pulpit you will benefit from a free gift from the Alliance of Confessing Evangelicals, Pagan Sexuality by Peter Jones. You can also find your free audio download at Reformed Resources.

0:00.0	Welcome to Mortification of Spin, Bullie Pulpit, a casual conversation about things that count, with Carl Truman, Todd Pruitt, and Amy Bird.
0:27.2	Mortification of Spin is a weekly podcast from the Alliance of Confessing Evangelicals.
0:32.4	It's been all over the news lately.
0:34.8	A so-called evangelical church in San Francisco has opened the door to homosexual
0:39.3	marriage and will not call homosexual practice a sin. As long-time listeners might imagine,
0:46.3	the spin team has something to say about that. At the end of the podcast, we'll tell you how to
0:51.3	download a free MP3 from the Alliance.
1:06.3	So Carl and Amy, both of you are well-known authors. You write books. People know you,
1:10.3	people read your books. You can Google your names and you come up with books. And as I was searching some things on Amazon, just this morning, I found a few things that I thought were really
1:15.8	interesting. Carl, your book, your newest book, Luther on the Christian life, of which I have
1:23.5	yet to receive a complimentary copy, by the and just as an aside I don't pay for
1:30.1	Carl Truman books. Carl Truman is a friend. I don't pay for a friend's book. So I'm just,
1:35.5	I'm still waiting. That said, I went to the Amazon page, clicked on Luther on the Christian

2:21.5	They love you in Langcastle. Could well be my Steve Nichols connection, I think.
2:25.6	Yeah, exactly.
2:26.0	Yeah. Well, there's another thing, not just a single Carl out, but our own Amy Bird, who herself is an author.
2:33.9	There was a particular review of her book by somebody who apparently did not care for it, let us say.
