Our Tuesday night study group is discussing ways that Christians can minister to homosexuals. I found this article tonight while surfing and it really struck a chord with me.
instead of putting all of your hopes in this legal basket, create or get involved in a ministry that reaches out to homosexuals. That's right. Show them, with a sincere concern, that Christ not only created us, but He saves us. Christ came to die for homosexuals, too. Stand up, be salt and light. You do not need to bash. Christians should not bash a person. Show them sincere concern for their soul. This does not mean you bring yourself down to their moral level to reach them; but you can reach them while remaining distinct and sanctified.
Also, in your marriage, live the godly example and testimony that you should. Make them jealous. Husbands, love your wives as Christ loved the church (Ephesians 5:25, Colossians 3:19); and wives love your husbands as the church loves Christ (Ephesians 5:23, Titus 2:4).
Resources for the Christian/Ministry to use in witnessing to homosexuals
- without 'bashing'.
