In chapter 24 of Matthew’s Gospel we are told that when Jesus returns to call His church away, things here on earth will be just like they were during the days of Noah. You ask, “How were things”? Well… people were eating and drinking and going about ‘business as usual’. Crime was high, violence filled the land, and people were greedy. There were wars, famines, pandemics, and earthquakes. Does that seem to resemble today, or what? Is a trumpet about to sound? You decide.

First published in 1987, this book was one of a very small handful that passed on a renewed revelation of how to understand Scripture and LGBTQ inclusion in the Christian church. At that time, almost no mainstream denominations were openly inclusive of LGBTQ people, neither in membership nor in ministry. Very few people were preaching a gospel of inclusion.
