Bible Note: I too liked the comments about what is it that makes us unclean.? Not what we put into our body but what is in our heart.[mark 7.21] I am dealing iwth this iwth the issue of homosexuality. the ministry i work with and for upholds the standard of heterosexual marriage. people i minister to act out in homosexual lifestyles. i do not judge them, or at least i don't think i do. the problem comes in when and if the person should want to become a part of the ministry. i believe the standard is right but i also believe that i have to allow G-d to bring someone to that standard in His time not mine. i am blessed because i accept that standard for me. i don't have to fight the issue personally. i do have to rely on G-d to enable me to maintain that standard. i am a single woman working among many men. i have to trust that G-d will allow me to express myself in ways other than sexual. what is great is that one of my greatest friends in the ministry is one who openly encourages people to express their homosexuality. we are at opposite ends of the pole. but we have found a way to let each other live out their values unhindered. the common ground is that we love the sinner and what them to know more of the love of G-d. Isn't that the point after all? |
