Subject: Why the spotlight on gays? |
Bible Note: EdB, Well put brother. I wouldnt go as far as to say that homosexuality is the fault of the church. But I do agree with your last statement,it is the result of Godlessnes. I think what has really hurt the church over the years we have went from one extreme to another. From being super hardline and legalistic to being super liberal and soft about how we deal with sin. Here it is. Jesus loved people and hated the sin.Sounds simplistic but it's true. We can love people without condoning there sin. Jesus did,so can we. If we truly love people as Jesus did then we will do whatever it takes. It will mean loving people no matter how they respond to us,it will mean asking the hard questions even if it pains us or those we reach out to. I remember the brothers that studied the bible with me and who helped lead me to the Lord,there were a lot of hard painful questions asked,but it got my heart and life out into the open. I'm glad though because enabled God to deal with my heart. I would not be a disciple of Jesus Christ today if not. Are we willing to do the same today? I'm glad that God brought people into my life who were willing to do so. In Christ, lionheart |
