Church Issues

There are a number of issues that divide our churches that have little to do with theology although all of them have solutions that can be found in the Bible.  This is a collection of some of the social issues that face the church today.

Abortion has become a battle over a woman's right to choose and if a child is truly alive when it becomes unjustified to abort it.
Cloning has many people confused.  The church is opposed to it but many people aren't sure why.
Creation has been an issue in our courtrooms for nearly a century.  Many believers have sided with "science" and no longer believe the Bible to be literal in its account of creation.

Divorce has ravaged families like a deadly plague leaving half of all marriages broken in its wake.  What does the Bible say about this and how should the church respond?
Drugs and alcohol have likewise broken families and the church seemingly has little power to stop it.  Did Paul really advocate alcohol when he told Timothy to drink a little wine?

War has become a depressing reality but some are morally opposed to it and believe that all things should be able to be brought to a peaceful resolution.  Is this what the Bible proposes?
Speaking in tongues is popular in many churches today.  Likewise there are many who do not believe the gift is active in the church today.  This debate aside, are those practicing tongues doing so in accordance with what the Bible says?

If you have an issue that you would like to see addressed, contact us and we'll see what we can do.  Other issues that cause division in the church that are of a more theological nature can be found in our theology section.
