This week we continue our summer series through some difficult questions, this week looking at the intersection of science and faith. Are they at odds? What do I do when science contradicts scripture (or vice versa)? Can I be a student of science and a lover of God?
Why do we attempt to follow some laws we find in the Bible, but not others? Is there an expiration date? What do we do with “rules” we find in the Bible like women needing to be silent at church or no eating of medium rare steak? Why don’t we kill a person who cheats on their spouse or speaks bad of their parents like the Bible commands?
We kicked off a new series, Difficult Questions. It seems that the most pressing question those considering making Refuge their church home today is, “So what is your stance on the whole gay thing?” (Yes, that’s how it’s usually phrased). We’ve never publicly answered that questions, but thought what better way to kick off this new series than to do just that.
