God made sexuality. It is a gift and stewardship from God. But
there is much more to human identity than sexuality. We were made
for eternity, where the church will be married to Christ. Let us
look at the words of God about homosexuality and run straight into
the arms of Christ, the Savior who welcomes repentant sinners of
every kind to a kingdom not built with man's strength, but with the
very power and grace of God.
Lust is a problem. A big problem. Our sexualised culture, promising
freedom and pleasure, is creating a terrible cocktail of abuse,
pain, despair, and suffering. The problem is not simply our
actions, but our sinful desires. But there is hope. Christ is more
powerful than any lustful desire, any temptation. He has defeated
death and sin, and his way leads to true freedom.
The world has gone gray-fuzzy, blurry, gender-neutral gray. In a
secularist culture, many people today are confused about what it
means to be a man or a woman. Even the church struggles to
understand the meaning of manhood and womanhood. In The Grand
Design, Owen Strachan and Gavin Peacock clear away the confusion
and open up the Scriptures. They show that the gospel frees us to
behold the unity and distinctiveness of the sexes. In Christ, we
have a script for our lives. Doxology, we discover, is in the
details.
Premier league footballer turned pastor Gavin Peacock tells the
story of his career and his faith in this fascinating,
thought-provoking and personal read. 'There is more to life than
football, fame and fortune. There is a greater joy and a greater
glory to be had.' What makes a man walk away from his life as a
professional footballer turned BBC pundit to become a church
minister? They say it is every schoolboy's dream to play in the
F.A. Cup Final and it's a dream that came true for Gavin Peacock.
In his riveting autobiography follow Gavin's journey from a child
growing up in a footballing family to Chelsea captain; from a son
following in his father's footsteps to a husband and father
supporting his own family; from pundit to preacher. Experience his
highs and lows as he tells his story and explains the driving force
behind it all - his love for football, his love for his family, and
most importantly his love for God.
People all around us are seeking wholeness and happiness and
acceptance. These are good things to seek. But if we seek them in
the wrong places, we will surely reap calamity. This is just what's
happening today regarding the LGBTQ movement. People are being told
that if they follow their heart, their deepest instincts and
desires, they'll be whole and happy and affirmed. But this is not
true. Gavin Peacock and Owen Strachan delve into what God's Word
says about gender identity and transgenderism.
