Hi brothers and sisters,
I need some wisdom and some biblical direction...
I keep hearing the phrase, "But the gospel is bigger than that", often times from pastors and those in leadership. This phrase is used in response to issues that involve taking stands regarding moral/ Biblical issues like abortion, sexual sins, etc in the church. It goes something like, "Yes, what you're saying is true regarding abortion, etc, but we're not preaching it because the gospel is bigger. " I know that is wrong headed and just another symptom of the soft relativism and antigospel thinking that is creeping into the church, but I don't know how to answer this concisely and concretely from scripture. Please help!
