"Biblical Theology and the Sexuality Crisis"

Al Mohler has a great article over at 9Marks on how understanding the big picture of the Bible is key in understanding human life and sexuality (and in turn dealing with the modern push to normalize all sorts of sexual immorality). Here is a teaser:

As the church responds to this [moral and sexual] revolution, we must remember that current debates on sexuality present to the church a crisis that is irreducibly and inescapably theological. This crisis is tantamount to the type of theological crisis that Gnosticism presented to the early church or that Pelagianism presented to the church in the time of Augustine. In other words, the crisis of sexuality challenges the church’s understanding of the gospel, sin, salvation, and sanctification. Advocates of the new sexuality demand a complete rewriting of Scripture’s metanarrative, a complete reordering of theology, and a fundamental change to how we think about the church’s ministry.
 I hope you'll read the whole thing.
