The emphasis of 'Biblical Sexuality Sermon Sunday' is to faithfully proclaim the Biblical view of marriage, family, and sexual morality in this time of great confusion and error, and in light of Bill C-4.

(Canada) — [LifeSiteNews.com] With the passage of Bill C-4 (the "conversion therapy" ban), there is a great deal of concern among Canadian churches. Has the Trudeau government put a law on the books that effectively criminalizes Christianity? According to some prominent clergy in this country, the answer is, shockingly, yes!

In a letter published by Liberty Coalition Canada, a group of Evangelical pastors comments:

"This bill's wording is sufficiently broad to allow for the criminal prosecution of Christians who would speak Biblical truth into the lives of those in bondage to sexual sins like homosexuality and transgenderism... [E]ven a mother or father who offers their children freedom from sexual sin through repentance and faith in the Gospel of Jesus Christ (1 Cor. 6:9-11) could be threatened with five years in jail."

The letter continues with a rebuke of Members of Parliament (MPs), who unanimously rushed Bill C-4 through the House of Commons last month without any debate or public input:

"Our King and Head is greatly displeased with our MPs for their sinful disregard for the spiritual and eternal well-being of Canadians. But it is important to note that they have also committed high blasphemy by referring to Biblical teaching as 'myths' in this legislation. We all must therefore tremble to consider what terrifying judgments will be visited upon our nation for this bold gesture of hatred towards the most high God."

According to Bill C-4, which went into force on January 8th, the Bible's teaching on sexuality and gender is defined as a "myth" under Canadian Law. The promotion and sharing of this Biblical teaching will be a jailable offence that officially "causes harm to society"...

Rev. Clint Humphries, a founder of the Gospel Coalition Canada in Calgary, Alberta, writes: "The secular religion stated in Bill C-4 is intolerant... The Abrahamic faiths of Judaism, Islam, and Christianity are all condemned as heresy according to Bill C-4's claim. How bold is the new religion to anathematize all others!"

In response to Bill C-4's disdain for the authority of the Bible, Christian leaders from all across Canada are encouraging ALL faithful pastors and priests to take a stand and speak out from their pulpits on January 16th.

Sunday, January 16th is "Biblical Sexuality Sermon Sunday" in Canada!

This call for pastoral action is a national initiative meant to cross all denominational lines. Clergy of all stripes are being urged to join together in proclaiming the authority of God's Word over and above our politicians' pro-LGBT pandering in Bill C-4...
