The second Fight. Laugh. Feast. conference held in
Nashville is now in the rear-view mirror. It was a
great time of meeting up with Christians, both old
friends and new, and had a general sense of
camaraderie in our common fight for the good of the
Kingdom of Christ — which work we are called to.
This camaraderie was apparent even in the midst of
the differences of lifestyles and cultures represented in
the attendees of the conference. And this is true
diversity such as can be had in the freedom Christ
gives us. A diversity that stirs us into love and good
works as we seek to identify ourselves by the common
thing that unites brothers and sisters in Christ: and
that is our new life in Christ as we put off the old man
and all its evil deeds.
The theme of the conference as well, is timely as we consider the sexual confusion of our day. The Politics of Sex is a relevant way of addressing the way in which our culture has infused rebellion against the created order into every aspect of modern western society. Mainline liberals would have us believe not only do we not need to address this issue, but that even to believe it is an issue, is unloving and unkind. But the truth is that we are to be salt and light in this evil world. We cannot affirm evil while being about what we are called to. May God grant us courage.
