Summary

Today on The Sword and The Trowel, Tom Ascol and Graham Gunden talk about the recent "Respect for Marriage Act" that our Senate voted on last week and discuss it in the light of God's word. Does the Bible address things like Obergefell? Does the Bible address same-sex marriage and how Christian should think about it? Does this Bill protect religious freedom? They talk about all this while also examining the response of Christianity Today and David French and the danger of being discipled by the world, not the Word.
