Growing Together
Growing Together is a newsletter supplement to The Messenger online, focusing on current cultural issues challenging the church. As a smaller conference, we cannot, and will not, attempt to follow larger organizations. We will attempt to discuss the issues that have impacted us, with content that will help us think through issues from several angles. As with everything we do, we are committed to the Bible as inspired by God and the truth.
Editorial - But we still need to study
This week I read an article on gender medicine in Christianity Today, a magazine I appreciate and nearly always agree with. It happens I fully agree with the writer that adolescents should not be receiving gender-altering treatment, but it was disappointing that their argument seemed to have so little sense of the issue either for parents trying to understand or communicate with their “trans” kids or people of any age who experience gender dysphoria/incongruence. Worse, the writer’s use of the biblical text was scant and superficial yet their conclusion allowed no room for discussion.
