Homosexual Movement Updates

In my book Christians in the Wake of the Sexual Revolution, published in 1985, I have a chapter entitled “The Homosexual Movement.” Here’s just a partial portrait of the homosexual community:

In gay baths men meet and copulate with total strangers and often have sex with multiple partners. Government official Dan Bradley described his first visit to a gay bath: “I must have had sex with ten different guys that first night. I was like a kid in a candy store.” The baths allow sexual relations in front of others or in private cubicles, often without even the exchange ...

How can I overcome masturbation?

The problem with masturbation isn’t that the body is wrong or the sex drive is wrong (God created both), but that masturbation involves lust, which Jesus specifically condemned as a sexual sin.

How can we lovingly decline attending my sister’s lesbian wedding?

Question from a reader:

My sister, who is a lesbian, invited me to her wedding. I have been the “black sheep” of the family because I am a Christian. We want to show grace and love but we also stand firm in not attending. We don’t know how to decline in a way they won’t hate us and exclude us from the family. How do we decline lovingly?

How do I relate to my daughter who moved in with her boyfriend?

How do I relate to my daughter when I see her now that she has chosen to move in with her boyfriend instead of abiding by our house rules?

My heart goes out to you and the pain you are experiencing. You are grieving a loss right now and I’m sure you have many mixed emotions. There is no better answer than to wait on the Lord and be immersed in His word and His promises to you.

It would be good if you could sit down with your daughter and her boyfriend and lay everything out on the ...

How do I relate to my new neighbor friend who is gay?

It is very hard to communicate on this subject with both grace and truth. We are concerned for a person’s soul, and not wanting to be harsh, but it is also critical not to back off from the truth that any sex outside of the biblical marriage between a man and woman is wrong. I oppose gay marriage, but not only as a matter of righteousness, but also because it is deadly to those involved in it. It is always deadly for all of us to choose the path of sin.

How do you handle writing on purity and other sensitive subjects without being explicit in a way that’s tempting to the reader?

I never create any mental pictures that could tempt, as I have strong convictions against that.

How do you know whether or not someone who is homosexual and claims to know Jesus is truly a Christian?

Question from a reader:

How do you know whether or not someone who is homosexual and claims to know Jesus is truly a Christian? You say at the end of your article about the End of the Spear controversy, “How I would love to one day embrace actor Chad Allen as my brother.” How do you know he is not your brother already? Because he is gay? I am a Christian and am gay myself. The fact that he happens to be gay is so incredibly insignificant.

P. S. I’m also always perplexed by the term “gay activist” since ...

How should a married couple deal with differing sexual needs? (video)

In this video clip, Randy Alcorn answers the question, "How should a married couple deal with differing sexual needs?" Filmed during a Q&A session for Good Shepherd Community Church's Mom 2 Mom group.

I am a Christian homosexual who has always been in a monogamous relationship. Why can’t this be as acceptable as a heterosexual married couple committed to only one person?

Now, even when and where society legalizes homosexual marriage, this does not mean God recognizes it as a marriage. If society legalized marriage between an adult male and a six year old girl, God is not bound to recognize it as marriage and withdraw his judgment that this is perverse. If society legalized marriage between a man and his sister, this would not thereby change God's revealed will on the sin of incest.

I have a burden to witness to my homosexual friends. How do I go about this?

I have a burden to witness to my homosexual friends. How do I go about this?

I know, first hand, of your desire to witness to homosexuals. My brother, Dave, died of AIDS several years ago after living for many years in the “gay” community.

Here are my thoughts about witnessing:

We should steer away from thinking of a group of people and instead see people as individuals. Although there are common threads in homosexuality, everyone is a unique person with unique motivations and thoughts.

The idea that “I am born this way so how could I change” is not ...
