I'm hearing plenty of good feedback from last night's discussion.........I so appreciate everyone's willingness to talk about/be open to the subject of homosexuality, and handle it in a mature way. It became obvious in our group that the perceptions homosexuals have of Christians rings true right here in our community...that we automatically shut them out, or hate them.
So, how do we, as loving agents of our Father deal with this issue? First, see that we are all sinners-and as Billy Grahm said-all in need of God's forgiveness, regardless of associated sin issues. Stepping out and befriending, building relationships and understanding people who struggle with this issue is the only way to overcome the perceptions that Christians hate gays.
And probably disassociating ourselves with those who like to hold signs and yell this.....as Lizziey described.
Next week's topic from UnChristian is........the perception that Christians are sheltered. Are we?
