Description: Thirsting for lasting freedom? Searching for truth? Crying out for uncompromised compassion? Yearning to move beyond shame and guilt? Ready for restoration? Sexual sin - whether it manifest itself as homosexuality, sexual addiction, pornography, idolatry or adultery - wreaks havoc. It can destroy the broken one and devastate the lives of those close enough to feel the impact of the personal implosion. Our 21st century enlightenment leads us down a very dark path. We re-define marriage, re-manufacture the military, and re-shape anti-bullying to focus on sexual identity. Christians are like the cowardly lion whose courage vanishes in the presence of a louder voice. As a result, Christians who struggle with sexuality either go into hiding or into the arms of the counterfeit compassionate of culture. While we debate whether it is too painful to be truthful or too compromising to be compassionate, culture doles out anesthetics and everyone goes numb or plays dumb. As a result, culture assumes the mantle of compassion and Christians seem loveless and fearful, judgmental and condemning. "Who Told you you were naked?" reminds us with grace and compassion, that God resotres and rebuild based on His never-changing truth rather than by surrendering His people to the whims of ever-chaning cultural chaos.
