Our culture’s celebration of Pride Month has become an opportunity to attack Christianity, saying it is a religion of hate. To say authentic Christians hate or fear homosexuals or the transgender community demonstrates a gross misunderstanding of our faith.
One of the marks of true Christianity is the ability to relate to people at their level and demonstrate genuine love and concern for them.

Speaking the Truth in Love
I have nothing but compassion for anyone trapped in sexual sin. The Bible is crystal-clear on this topic, including homosexuality. Christians who strongly believe the Bible reveals God’s will regarding sexual behavior also strongly believe in His love and forgiveness through Jesus Christ. To “confront in love” stems from a desire to honor God by loving and caring for others.
Sadly, Christians who choose to uphold God’s Word are now labeled as judgmental, bigoted and intolerant. But how can we warn if we won’t confront, correct if we won’t challenge and contend if we won’t question?
Sexual Sin and the Moral Law
Jesus confirmed that the moral laws in the Old Testament about murder, stealing, lying and sexual immorality still hold true. Leviticus 20:13a (NKJV) states, “If a man lies with a male as he lies with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination.” To suggest this verse or others like it are invalid today is to engage in the dangerous practice of redefining or deleting what God has said. In God’s sight, homosexuality will always be an “abomination.”
