"I love God and this is his church, and God can't be happy with this situation,"

It's not really a "situation", it's an opportunity.

If they are a true church of God, a church that uncompromisingly teaches and preaches the "two-edged sword" otherwise known as the Word of God, then all they have to do, Sunday after Sunday after Sunday, is welcome each and every person who comes to the services, preach the Word, do not accommodate those who come to church thinking that they are going to have their God-cursed, perverted lifestyle choices validated, love everyone with a Christ-like love, and the "situation" will take care of itself.

The homosexuals will either leave, unable to withstand the absolute truth and unshakable, steadfast infallibility of the Scriptures, or they will be brought to salvation by those same Scriptures.

The main thing, the most important thing, is to preach the Word, do not deviate from that, and let the chips fall where they may.

Well said, excellent post!

God gives us numerous opportunities, yet too often we see only problems.

Some see being gay as a disease, others as being imprisoned by sin. Either way, we are to minister to them, and ministering to them includes telling the truth through the Word of God.

When we minister to alcoholics we do not exclude drunkenness from being sin; when we minister to prostitutes we do no exclude prostitution from being sin. Why is it that some insist that in order to minister to gays we must excluded their sin?
