I think if I were that Grandmother, I would handle it in this way…….

In a private talk with my grandson before the wedding day I would remind him that as a Christian I have no other choice than to renounce a sin that God so obviously points out in the Bible, so you must know that my heart is breaking to know what you are doing. That said, the fact remains that I am your Grandmother and my love for you is unconditional and forever. No matter what, I will always love you. That is something that we learn from our Heavenly Father, for He is like that. He sees us sin (me, you, everyone) and yet he still loves us. He hopes that one day we will want to ask his forgiveness for that sin and want to stop doing it. I want you to know that I won’t be coming to your wedding to condone or participate in a celebration of your marriage ….. I WILL be there to celebrate my deep and abiding love for you. I will probably cry, I always do at weddings, but this time let it be to remind you of that love and prayers for you.

>> I WILL be there to celebrate my deep and abiding love for you.

Well and good, but regardless of the “understanding” between Grandma and Grandson, all the OTHER attendees of the homosexual wedding will see Grandma as a Christian at a homosexual wedding to thereby *endorse gay marriage*.

In other words, Grandma will cause them to stumble... bad news and not in accordance with GOD’s Word.

Yea Jesus would have talked to them in private and then attended their pagan rituals , to celebrate with them .

Oops, yeah I would still not agree with her attending - I misread that at first

Joel Olsteen did similar in Houston a few years ago. And then there’s Andy Stanley. I don’t know how Charles Stanley ever let him in a pulpit.

Great comment...and a very “compassionate” way to handle the situation.

Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
