Today, the battle that rages, is not over just a person’s sexuality, but rather over which spirit will claim that person’s allegiance. There is no doubt, the cultural and political battle over homosexuality has become in many respects the defining moment for our society.
The more important aspect of this battle is not the political one; it is the one for the individual human soul.
“Love, and the unity it attests to, is the mark Christ gave to Christians to wear before the world. Only with this mark may the world know that Christians are indeed Christians, and that Jesus was sent by the Father.” – Francis Schaeffer
By speaking truth, you can impact and change the future for many.
Be a professing Christian who adheres to and applies the truths of Scripture to our world as never before.
When you and I became a Christian, we began a transformation process not just of what we disapprove, but also of how we disapprove.
The disapproval of any particular behavior including same-sex practice(s) does not particularly identify one as Christian.
Being a Christian is far more profound than changing and voicing what we disapprove of.
The Apostle Paul said, “I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the barbarians” (Romans 1:14).
There is no doubt Paul understood and lived his life as a debtor to “everyone” on the face of the earth because of the Gospel of Jesus.
Do we, as Ambassadors for Christ, realize that same debtedness to every unsaved soul which includes the vast, enormous and virtually untouched mission field called “the gay community?”
Yes, the Bible is clear that homosexual practice is against God’s pattern for humankind, which should be all the more reason to be the bearer of good tidings to those with unwanted same-gender attraction and not just announce that a certain lifestyle is sinful.
The homosexual, along with many other people, do not know love, yet it is love that they seek more than anything else, by and large. If you and I can be vessels of God’s love, if we can be compelled by that love, that will get their attention, because it will be so starkly different from all of the counterfeit loves that they have experienced, that if there is a genuine desire in them for God, it will draw them to Christ.
The shedding of the false, “gay” identity will be a natural fruit of having discovered where love, true love truly lies.
Look beyond the “gay” or “lesbian” label to the whole person inside and share the transforming power of God’s love and forgiveness without compromising the truth.
