I can’t understand your thinking.
Just let others do it?
God already has people doing that job? (I know there are missions to reach gays)
There is only one way to reach out to gays?
I am waiting for God to tell me what I should do?
In a study I did once (I actually didn’t like it) but it stated, what I thought, was one profound concept.
“Find out where God is working and join Him”. (”working” meaning succeeding, not just doing)
God is working at my church bringing the “Good News” of Jesus Christ to “anyone” who will hear it. People are being “saved”. I don’t care if they are gay, felons, wife beaters, or drunks. If they get to hear the “Good News” of Jesus Christ, and turn away from sin, my God is pleased.
I don’t think God would be pleased with a mutual admiration society church, with their secret handshakes, secret code words and passwords. Where sinners (really “bad” sinners) who may be seeking salvation, are looked upon with disdain instead instead of pity.
“Sorry, sinners not allowed, only we the pious, the righteous, (by our own definition), can enter these sacred, hallowed walls.”
B.S. Short for BULLCRAP!
From your post you seem to think that we as Christians should be presenting the Gospel to everyone we meet regardless of God’s leading to those who has prepared for His great work. I disagree greatly. We are not called to step out on our own, for it is the work of His Spirit that prepares and moves the heart and mind of those He intends to reach..and in His timing not ours.
I have seen the effects of those, as yourself, who leave a trail of people behind them who were bombarded with the Gospel and made to feel less than acceptable to God...not to mention offended by the delivery...because it was done without the leadership of His Spirit. He does not just throw out the Gospel to everyone without having also prepared them, not to mention we are cautioned not give what is Holy to “swine”.....God prepared people to present the Gospel as well. Even the Apostles were “taught” by Jesus Himself before He sent them out.
Those who “wait on the Lord” to be directed where He leads will find their mission and their place of His choosing when they are ready and prepared by Him. Paul was wise to learn under others before He went to the Gentiles....we would do well to do likewise.
Each man is ‘equipped’ by God for their mission in His work...not all are evangelists, not all have the same abilities...but each one is equipped within the household of faith for the work He has for them to do.
So yes, there are those especially equipped to reach those within the homosexual community. It is not a matter of “just let others do it”, that’s a laxadaisy way of looking at it. Rather it is being wise enough to recognize what means is most effective and who is equipped for that....with results favorable and enduring.
Many have gone into mission work thinking it is enough to know the way of salvation. They go to another country, or into the cities on their own only to return battered and without the fruit they have hoped for. They learned the hard way that preparation is required.
I know don’t know of a single Christian church who would not be willing to work with repentant homosexuals who desire to know Christ...or for that matter any sinner reaching out to God.
So you are mistaken to think the Christian community would not help homosexuals. They are indeed reaching out and have been effective in leading these lost souls to Christ...and the hard work thereafter to leave their sin behind them.
