Even though our culture behaves like nothing is sacred or holy, God has not redefined His standards. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses seven biblical principles that used to be held as sacred in our society: marriage, the protection of children, truth, faithfulness, justice, free speech, and the authority of Scripture. Today, these are no longer revered, but are actively mocked and deconstructed. As Christ-followers, we are called to live with a sense of the sacred and the holiness ...
