I’m from an evangelical church in MN. Sings the usual contemporary praise songs, talks about Christ being the only way to heaven etc. But I have to say I’ve been disapppointed how they’ve never said a peep about issues like abortion or homosexuality.
I seem to see the same with Rick Warren’s, Olsteen’s, and most evangelical churches.
Maybe I’m not looking in the right places, but almost seems to be a myth that Christians are so anti-homosexual. I’d be curious to hear of others’ church experiences.
‘Rainbow’ churches aren’t against homosexuality. Bible-believing churches are (and have no choice but to be) against that sinful behavior. Check out ‘holiness’ churches.
That's a great observation. I've noticed how the church is afraid to preach issues such as these. I remember attending one service and the pastor apologized that the Bible talked negatively about sin. We didn't stay.
There are degrees of sin to be sure, homosexuality being one of the most corrupt. But sin is sin in God's eye and it's something He wants us to recognize in us. The trouble isn't that Christians emphasizes homosexuality more than any other sin. Rather it's that we don't emphasizes other sin as much.
