Subject: Homosexual are picked on in the church? |
Bible Note: Greetings Journey me! I can't speak for anyone but myself. At the church where I pastor, we take all sin very seriously. I preach against whatever 'sin' the text that I am preaching from happens to be mentioning. :-) If I am preaching on a passage that deals with adultery, I preach against adultery. If I am preaching on a text that deals with impure thoughts, I preach against unclean thoughts. If I am preaching from a text that deals with homosexuality, I preach against homosexuality. But, I do more than just preach against sin. I also preach the good news of freedom from sin. Adulters don't have to continue in adultery. Neither do homosexuals have to continue in homosexuality. From the years that I have been involved in the church, it has been my experience that anyone involved in a particular sin always thinks that the pastor only preaches on that sin. :-) That is called conviction, and it is a good thing.
