As Christian believers, it is important for the world to know us by what we are for more than by what we are against. We are for spreading knowledge, excitement and life in and through Jesus Christ! We are against sin, yes, but we are against sin, not because we enjoy being against things and/or people, but because we don't want it to cloud the goodness and glory of Jesus.
Within this mindset, I believe it is important for Christians to understand the culture as it relates to the issue of homosexuality. The reality is that popular opinion and perception of homosexuality has changed incredibly in recent years. The following blog entry by Albert Mohler offers important insight into the current cultural climate on this issue. You can read it here.
As we seek to share the life transforming power of the Gospel with those who commit homosexual acts (yes, their lives do need to be transformed, as any sinner without Christ), we should have accurate awareness of the issues we will face in this process. I pray that we will not be disheartened by our changing cultural climate. I pray it will heighten our awareness of our need to sacrificially and lovingly share the Gospel with those who are lost.
