About this episode
We live in a time of profound cultural confusion. The moral guardrails have not just been removed; they have been gleefully dynamited. What was considered shameful a generation ago is now celebrated with parades, and what was considered honorable is now derided as bigotry. Our society is adrift, and the reason it is adrift is that it has rejected its anchor. When a nation forgets its God, it does not become neutral; it becomes insane. The book of Leviticus, and this chapter in particular, is God's blueprint for cultural sanity. It is often dismissed by modern Christians as an irrelevant and dusty legal code, full of strange prohibitions. This is not a rulebook for a defunct historical society. This is the Creator's instruction manual for how human beings are to flourish. And this chapter, which deals with the bedrock issue of sexual morality, begins not with a list of prohibitions, but with a declaration of ultimate authority.
