I was personally challenged by this one. It is the story of a guy who went on a year long spending fast. He resolved to purchase no new discretionary items for a year.
I like what he shares about the experience —

And here is a well written article appealing to the entire narrative of Scripture in relation to the issue of gay marriage —
What can Christians who hold to the “traditional” view of marriage say in these circumstances? Do we have a counter-narrative that is as forceful, or more so, than that of the “triumphal gay revolution?” I believe we do. Where is it?
The very best counter-narrative to gay liberation is the biblical worldview in which heterosexual, monogamous marriage is considered one of God’s most precious gifts.

And finally, a lecture on the important and controversial topic of tolerance. Don Carson is a heavyweight when it comes to intellectual punching power. So be ready to listen carefully to this one. It is well worth the time and effort.
