Sinclair Ferguson , Robert Godfrey , Steven Lawson, Albert Mohler , and R.C.Sproul were asked the following questions:  How do US army chaplains stay faithful to God and His truth, and provide the gospel to same-sex couples? How do they stay faithful amidst the persecution? (00:13)  I have a son who has entered into a homosexual lifestyle. How do I handle this, how do I act, what do I say? (02:58 )  I have many Christian friends who are libertarians and say the state should not be involved in marriage at all. Is this a correct position?

I learned a great deal from him then, and so I find what follows a very sad story. I pray for him that the Lord will deliver him from the serious errors into which he has fallen.
