Podcast #46 – Follow-up to the Chat about Homosexuality

I think we’ll actually be continuing this conversation once more this coming Sunday. If you happened to be with us this past Sunday you know that Homosexuality became a topic of discussion, when one of our very own admitted that while he was not homosexual he didn’t see there being anything wrong with Homosexuality. I was very pleased with the way our ap2t family handled this chat. More than one person publicly praised him for honestly sharing his thoughts and asking the question. In addition, others shared their confusion with this issue. When we sounded judgmental others stepped up to point out the sound, tone, or implication behind our words. I don’t think anyone was offended, but everyone had an opportunity to voice their heart. While most agreed that homosexuality wasn’t the plan of God for anyone’s life, many had friends and loved ones who they continued to care about who struggle with or submit totally to their homosexual urges. This caused us to seek wisdom about how to love, beyond disagreement. Should we love and treat those with different beliefs tenderly careful not to offend or should we “shun the non-believer” as was made popular by the Charlie the Unicorn You Tube videos? I think we sometimes have to treat those who disagree with us just like we would treat anyone who doesn’t believe… with love and grace. Haven’t we learned yet that “..it is the kindness of God that leads man to repentance?” Enjoy the chat and join us Sunday as we continue this conversation.
