#271 - What are We Arguing about ?

Why do so many arguments — political, cultural, even between Christians — go nowhere? Lynn Green unpacks the difference between morality (what we believe) and ethics (how we live it out), and argues most of our fights happen at the ethics level while the real gap is in our beliefs. Drawing on Matthew 15, decades of cross-cultural ministry, and a striking story from Papua New Guinea, Lynn makes the case for getting back to biblical foundations — not just better behaviour.
