Today on Point of View, Kerby welcomes author and senior pastor of Calvary Memorial Church, Told Wilson. Wilson discusses his book, Mere Sexuality: Rediscovering the Christian Vision of Sexuality.
In the second hour, Pastor Todd Wagner, senior pastor at Watermark Church in Dallas joins Kerby in-studio. He discusses his book, Come and See: Everything You Ever Wanted in the One Place You Would Never Look.
In Mere Sexuality, author and pastor Todd Wilson presents the historic Christian consensus about human sexuality, the Great Tradition of the church for centuries as taught in each of its major expressions - Orthodox, Catholic, and Protestant. Wilson highlights the stunning shift of opinion on issues of sexuality in the evangelical church and why this break with the historic church is problematic for the future of Christianity. Along the way he provides ordinary believers with an introduction to the historic Christian vision of sexuality, yet does so in conversation with some of the twenty-first century's leading challenges to this vision.
In a culture that is deeply confused about human sexuality, Wilson believes it is time for evangelicals to retrieve the historic Christian tradition and biblical teaching on the question of sexuality. Mere Sexuality seeks to guide readers back to the beauty and coherence of this vision of sexuality in the face of an aggressive and all-consuming pagan and secular worldview.
Todd Wagner invites readers to experience the adventure, goodness, and fullness of life that God has intended for humankind from the beginning of time and especially today through His provision through His people. Weekly meetings of mostly bored adults who regularly attend services have nothing to do with God’s vision for His people. Wagner paints the picture of a perfect Father’s intention to bring His people into an adventurous life full of authentic relationships, powerful transformation, and seemingly impossible significance and meaning.
The Washington Post broke the story last night that Marc Elias, an attorney connected to Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign and the Democrat National Committee, hired Fusion GPS and former British spy Christopher Steele last April to produce the so-called "dirty dossier" on Donald Trump.
Here are some key points you need to understand:
We don't know how much Elias paid for the dossier, but we do know that the Clinton
campaign and the DNC paid his law firm more than $9 million.
Former FBI Director James Comey described the dossier as "salacious and unverified."
The Post writes that many of the dossier's details "have not been verified and may never
be."
According to various reports, some of Steele's sources were Russians, including "a senior
Russian foreign ministry figure" and "a former top intelligence officer still active in the
Kremlin." So in their attempts to dig up dirt on Trump, the Democrats were colluding with
Russians.
Marc E. Elias, a lawyer representing the Clinton campaign and the DNC, retained Fusion GPS, a Washington firm, to conduct the research.
After that, Fusion GPS hired dossier author Christopher Steele, a former British intelligence officer with ties to the FBI and the U.S. intelligence community, according to those people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity.
