Contracultura: Una llamada compasiva a la contracultura en un mundo de pobreza, matrimonios del mismo sexo, racismo, esclavitud sexual, inmigración, persecución, aborto, huérfanos y pornografía
About this ebook
Bienvenido al frente de batalla. A todo lugar al que nos dirigimos hoy en día, los frentes de batalla están puestos: el matrimonio tradicional contra el matrimonio homosexual, la pro-vida contra pro-elección, la libertad personal contra la protección gubernamental. De repente la cultura cambió al punto donde ya no se mide lo que está bien y lo que está mal con la verdad universal sino con la opinión popular. Las conversaciones difíciles sobre la homosexualidad, el aborto, y la libertad religiosa siguen infiltrándosen en nuestros trabajos, iglesias, escuelas y en nuestros hogares. Mientras tanto los cristianos en todas partes se hacen la misma pregunta: ¿Cómo se supone que tenemos que responder a todo esto? En Contracultura, el autor de éxito del New York Times, David Platt, muestra como los cristianos deben participar activamente en cuestiones como la pobreza, la explotación sexual, el matrimonio, el aborto, el racismo y la libertad religiosa y desafía a todos a ser voces apasionadas y constantes para Cristo. El frente de batalla ya está puesto y ha llegado la hora en que los cristianos se levanten para entregar un mensaje del evangelio que es más radical incluso, que los temas más polémicos de la actualidad.
A compassionate call to counter culture in a world of poverty, same-sex marriage, racism, sex slavery, immigration, abortion, persecution, orphans, and pornography.
Welcome to the front lines. Everywhere we turn, battle lines are being drawn—traditional marriage vs. gay marriage, pro-life vs. pro-choice, personal freedom vs. governmental protection. Seemingly overnight, culture has shifted to the point where right and wrong are no longer measured by universal truth but by popular opinion. And as difficult conversations about homosexuality, abortion, and religious liberty continue to inject themselves into our workplaces, our churches, our schools, and our homes, Christians everywhere are asking the same question: How are we supposed to respond to all this? In Counter Culture, New York Times bestselling author David Platt shows Christians how to actively take a stand on such issues as poverty, sex trafficking, marriage, abortion, racism, and religious liberty and challenges all to become passionate, unwavering voices for Christ. The lines have been drawn. The moment has come for Christians to rise up and deliver a gospel message that's more radical than even the most controversial issues of our day.
