Living on the Edge with Chip Ingram Daily Podcast

Caring Enough to Confront - What Ever Happened to Right and Wrong?, Part 2


Listen Later

When did moral standards like fidelity, honesty, and sacrificial love give way to safe sex, adultery, and living together? In this program, Chip continues addressing society's abandonment of biblical morality. Discover the devastating impact moral relativism has had on the culture and the church - and what Jesus said about absolute truth.
