Something out of the "Iceberg" Sermon

I was listening to the Denver Biennial Address of the General Secretary again, I call it the “Iceberg” sermon ( i.e. The Titanic hit the iceberg, ABCUSA hit the biennial address), and one of the announced characteristics of radical Christian discipleship jumped out at me. Here it is, a radical Christian, according to the message, is one who has “a non-conforming engagement with the world.”

On the symptomatic issue that is wreaking havoc on and in ABCUSA it seems apparent that the denomination’s engagement with the culture does not match up.

Whether we like it or not, the scriptures do say homosexual behavior is not God’s plan for humanity. It is so not God’s plan that very emphatic and spiritually unflattering words for such behavior were inspired by the Holy Spirit. Essentially regarding this behavior, a biblically informed lifestyle can be summed up simply as “Don’t do this.”

On the other hand, the world says “It’s O.K. It’s just a different lifestyle. You don’t have to be restrained in your living by an old religious book, scripture or not. Do it, and/or approve it, if you like.”
What would a non-conforming engagement with the world on this subject look like? Would it resemble ABCUSA’s acceptance of the Welcoming & Affirming movement, or a welcoming & tranforming approach?
