Pastors and ministers have countless topics to address and an unending stream of questions to answer, but none are as important in 2012 as these:
1. The Exclusivity of Christ – Are all religions equal? Are there many paths to God? Or is Jesus the only way to God as stated in John 14:6? (“I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”)
2. The Authority of Scripture – Is the Bible trustworthy or flawed? Is the Bible authoritative or merely suggestive?
3. The Sanctity of Marriage – Does marriage still matter? Is marriage exclusively between one man and one woman? Is it ok to redefine marriage to fit in with contemporary cultural values?
These questions will not go away. If we don’t address them, someone else will.
