A question comes in from Podcast listener Peter, Pastor John, being created in the image

of God, many non-Christians have moral instincts on issues such as homosexuality and gender identity

that reflect Christian morals.

They can express that homosexuality is wrong, for example, but not that it's wrong because

it contradicts God's created design.

So is it possible to partner with non-Christians in the public fight over moral issues?

It's interesting.

I was just asked a question almost like this yesterday when I was over at Bethlehem College

in seminary by a seminary student, so I had just been thinking about it and so my answer

is performed by that conversation.

And it seems to me that I should summarize it something.

It's a massive issue.

You can write whole books on this issue.

So I'm going to put my answer in two yes buts, so yes but yes but, okay, first yes but.

So yes, Christians in society should care about the advancement of law and policies and

behaviors that do good to people and put restraints on destructive immoral behaviors.

And of course, there are great, complex issues as to what morality can be legislated.

Like don't murder.

Everybody agrees that moral conviction should be legislated.

Well, what about the moral conviction?

Don't covet.

Don't lust.
