Far too many American Christians treat sexual immorality like it’s not a sin. In this episode of Cross Defense, we survey the New Testament and see just how wrong that delusion is. Do we still think it is loving to speak the Law to Christians committing sin? It doesn’t really seem like it, does it?

Host Rev. Tyrel Bramwell, St. Mark Lutheran Church in Ferndale, California, and author of the book Come in, We are Closed, talks about curious topics to excite the imagination, equip the mind, and comfort the soul with God’s ordering of the world in the Law and Gospel.
