‘Stand for Christ.  Stand for the truth.  And let the chips fall where they may.’

Senior Pastor of Atlanta’s Church of the Apostles, Dr Michael Youssef, has a prophetic call to share with evangelical pastors today. It is to not give up trust in the scriptures in the face of contemporary challenges on sexuality.


Dr Youssef tells the story of leading his church to depart the US Episcopal Church when the denomination moved against biblical teaching on sexuality, and the way God has blessed them since. 

In light of all this, Dr Youssef quotes 1 Samuel saying, ‘Those who honour me I will honour.’ 

Speaking in terms of the Sydney Anglican Church, Dr Youssef says, ‘I know this diocese, I love this diocese, and I know that God will continue to bless this Diocese even more… when you take a stand.’


Dr Youseff says, ‘Everyone I know who honoured the Lord and took a stand, God blessed that.’
