Given President Obama’s recent comments in support of gay marriage, we wanted to provide some resources for you to read and consider as you have conversations with others about this topic.
Since the Constitution of the United States says nothing about this subject, it is left to be resolved by normal democratic means, including the democratic adoption of provisions in state constitutions.
To give special status or rights to those choosing the personally and socially destructive homosexual lifestyle is to approve and endorse that behavior, and inevitably to spread it.
One thing I know about the struggle with lust is that the more you feed it, the more it will desire to be fed and the more it will consume you.
If we do not press back against that which is evil, and if we do not lovingly and compassionately confront the darkness with the truth, we (our marriages, families and children) will be preyed upon by the very evil that we were meant to conquer.
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 ...
On the question of monogamous homosexual relationships, this is my opinion, based on my understanding about what the Bible teaches: promiscuity is always wrong, but lack of promiscuity does not make sex right. An unmarried man and woman can have sex only with each other, but if they're not married they are committing fornication. A single man may have sex only with the same prostitute, or only with his sister, but it is still wrong for him to have sex with her even if he has been monogamous in never having sex with another. A homosexual couple can have ...
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 ...
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 ...
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?
