In a culture that encourages us to "do whatever feels right," what happens when we ignore God's boundaries for our relationships? Continuing our series The Necessity of Intolerance, Dr. Jerry Shields looks at Deuteronomy 5:18 and the Seventh Commandment: "You shall not commit adultery."
While modern culture views absolute tolerance as the ultimate virtue, God’s Word calls believers to hold fast to an objective moral standard. In this sermon, Dr. Shields unpacks why marital faithfulness matters, how Jesus addressed the root issue of the heart in the Sermon on the Mount, and how Christ offers both uncompromising truth and life-changing grace to anyone who has stumbled.
