However, the overarching divine love context furnished by the gospel is the best medium (I unabashedly assert) for resolving any sexual perversion issue. True love begets true love. Indifference or hate begets more of the same.

I fully agree.
The real issue is not one that can be solved by more laws, nor is it a social issue (thought it does have social impact), but rather an issue of the heart — since no law can change the heart, all law is insufficient to address the issue. This is why we need a savior and, thank God, we have Him in the form of Jesus.

And this is why I have been such a bug here insisting that an ounce of evangelism is worth a pound of politicking.

Evangelism isn’t selling a “religion.” Even though I worship with Baptists, this isn’t about getting people to “go to a church of a certain denomination.” This is about introducing them to the Lord in such a way His power and grace is unmistakable and urging the embrace. If and when the embrace occurs, the church question comes up but that is secondary. The Lord can minister through an amazing variety of congregations.

The Lord is not stupid nor is He weak. Even as we see morals slide, they aren’t sliding in any old way. The snare of sin can double as the room in which Christ works His rescue. If God was proud He would never consent to anything like that; but God is not proud.
