I am really getting tired of the misuse of the term “social issues.” It is usually used in reference to abortion and gay marriage. These are not “social issues,” they are moral issues. A social issue would be parade permits and dress codes. They have to do with how people get along and who gets to use the park this weekend. Abortion and gay marriage are issues of right and wrong.
It gets worse when Christian leaders use the term. They are avoiding unpleasant confrontations by watering down issues that they know have standards given by God. How can we expect society to improve if we keep whitewashing sin?
