Overcoming the World: 2014 National Conference

Sinclair Ferguson, W. Robert Godfrey, Albert Mohler, and R.C. Sproul answer questions ranging from addressing how we should speak with those who have embraced a homosexual lifestyle, to the use of images of Jesus and recent movies featuring biblical themes.

Questions:

3. 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? (14:13)

4. I have a relative who is constantly trying to say that if I try to say something is false or sinful I am "condemning" the person or the thing and am not being loving. What do I say in response? (23:13)
