Is God...: Part 3, Homophobic?
November 4, 2006 (Weekend Service)
Even though we don’t understand all the complex dynamics that lead to same sex attraction, we have an omniscient God who is smarter than we are and who does understand. God’s Word teaches he designed sexual expression to be limited and ultimately expressed between a man and a woman in the commitment of marriage. All people are made in God’s image, and truth is that God’s plan for sexuality makes our lives so much better when we cooperate with it. Homosexual activity is ‘a’ sin in God’s eyes; it’s not ‘the’ sin, and God is in the business of transforming the lives of all morally imperfect people. A Christ-following church needs to be a safe place where not only homosexuals, but all of us moral foul-ups, can find love and support and can grow spiritually as God works in us and as we apply his truth.
