Here is an awesome article written by Madison Trammel about Christians and how we should treat those who struggle with homosexuality. This is such a controversial subject now, and my feelings are torn. I think the feelings of many Christians are torn, or they lean towards the extreme left or right. For instance, this article gives an example of a pastor “railing” against those who struggle with this sin. This type of attitude really bothers me, as in God’s eyes, those who struggle with homosexuality are not any worse than than someone committing adultery or struggling with pornography, etc. Yet I agree with one of the people who left a comment regarding the article that “Let us also not forget that the way liberal churches have handled this matter is no more loving than that church you visited. Telling people there is nothing wrong, when in reality there is, is just as much a disservice as someone on the other extreme.” (No name was provided or I would give them credit where credit is due for such a great comment…)
Anyways, what a fine line this is for Christians to walk! I think the best answer, and the one that I want to pursue, is to love someone struggling with this issue the same way I would love anyone else. This doesn’t mean I have to agree with or affirm their choices, but we are called to love others as Christ has loved us.
