1st Timothy 2:1 I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men. 2 For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. 3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior; 4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
It’s all around us now, we cannot avoid it any longer, and legislators in high and low places are putting all the pieces of the puzzle together. Whether we like it or not, we will find ourselves having to interact with gay, or LGBTQ family members and friends, some more, some less, in many cases, sooner or later.
And, what we do, what we say, and our approach to such a sensitive issue within the church, and within the family circle, could go a long way in paving the way for redemption in such instances, for the tenor of the Bible, is to try to save to the uttermost. Thus, we will need the Scriptural approach in handling the issue in a Christlike manner.
Not only have gay marriages been legalized by the highest courts of the land, but the clergy in high and low places are coming on board with what could be described as the new normal. The prominent church leaders of the day have all but endorsed it, and now, as the pressure mounts in public, and private places, it becomes even more important that we address it.
2nd Timothy 3:This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
