Andrew Beckwith
(Audio: Spanish, English) ->Original
SUMMARY: Andrew Beckwith, director of the Massachusetts Family Institute, discusses the importance of the Church being a voice in the moral area of society. He explains that his organization defends the rights of life from conception to natural death, the dignity of natural marriage between a man and a woman, and increasingly represents legal interests of the Church so that they are free to preach and practice what they believe in society without fear of being resisted by society's laws. Beckwith emphasizes that the Church must not absolve itself of its responsibility to preach and minister, and that it is the Church's responsibility to be alert to its responsibility regarding the moral state of the nation. He believes that the Bible is a blessing and that God's morality is not intended to limit humanity but to bless them.
The pastors and Andrew from the Massachusetts Family Institute discuss the importance of God's law in blessing families and the negative impact of broken homes on children's future. They also talk about the need for the Church to be a place of refuge for those who have been harmed by false teachings in society and the balance between preaching holiness and moral obedience with love and grace. They discuss the hunger for biblical perspectives on issues such as abortion, homosexuality, transgenderism, and suicide by doctors and the initiatives the Massachusetts Family Institute is working on to protect families and the Church's beliefs. They also emphasize the importance of parents knowing their legal rights to protect their children from offensive curricula in schools.
The Church is working to protect the teaching that children receive in schools and the right of churches to live according to their understanding of the Word of God. They are also working to limit the production and sale of marijuana, which is being made into sweets that can be easily consumed by children without their knowledge. Churches are encouraged to talk to their local representatives to limit the number of marijuana shops in their communities. Additionally, the Church is trying to repeal the bathroom bill that allows men to use women's bathrooms and women to use men's dressing rooms and closets. The Church prays for God's blessing and strength for those who work to protect the Church and society.

Today we are going to do an interview with a person who has played a very powerful role here in the city of Boston, Brother Andrew whom I am going to present here in a little while, directing a very powerful ministry that tries to make the presence of the Church in force in the world of politics, in the world of values, in the world of society, is something that is often not very popular, that the Church talks about morality and other things because they accuse us Christians many times of being hypocritical and of ourselves not having our own house in order while we preach morality.
But today I want to present to you a more complete face of what is the work of the Church that tries to do the job, to be a voice in the moral area of society. So we want to talk a little bit about that, Gregory is going to be helping me; We have been wondering how we are going to do this translation into Spanish and English, and all that mess with a conversation like this so complex, but I hope you are going to be praying for us, amen? so that it gives us wisdom and that it is something that blesses you, and that really encourages you to continue talking about things, sexuality, drugs, all these things but it is important that the Church speaks about them in a correct way and We are going to have a good conversation about this with the director of the Institute for the Family known as the Massachusetts Family Institute, give him a round of applause, Andrew would you come forward please? give him a round of applause, and Pastor Gregory will be helping us too.
