The job of the pastor is not to make people feel better, or prevent their tears, nor is it to facilitate whichever delusion people need in order to alleviate pain. His job is to help SAVE THEIR ETERNAL SOULS. Nothing else matters by comparison. NOTHING. Our tears and blood and broken bones are meaningless next to eternity. Our hurt feelings are nothing next to eternity. If saving your feelings from being hurt on this Earth pushes you farther from God, then bring on the pain! If a metaphorical slap in the face from the pastor makes them all cry, but reminds them and others of the way to God, then let it be a bitchslap so loud and mighty that it measures on the Richter scale.

If you think Jesus would have avoided telling the Truth - forcefully and directly - just to avoid some unpleasant feelings,then you didn't read the same Bible I did

Amen Brother!

If the the family was intending on including the deseased son’s homosexuality as a part of the service, then yes, I totally agree that it would be wrong to allow the service at the church.
