We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

First; recreation may not be in the use of holy things, that is, in the use of the Word, sacraments, prayer, or in any act of religion... Second; recreation may not be made of the sins or offenses of men. They ought to be unto us the matter of sorrow and mourning... Third; we may not make recreation of God’s judgments, or of the punishments of sin.
William Perkins

The issue of homosexual orientation is where the church must engage the homosexual community in biblical discussion. The problem, however, is that the idea of homosexual orientation does not rest on any foundation that can be discussed. It relies on neither biblical data nor medical research. Instead, it is a political premise for gaining homosexual rights and is rooted in personal experience. Therefore, neither biblical data nor refutation of the medical literature will persuade most homosexual advocates. Ultimately, most homosexuals appeal to their own feelings and the experience of their homosexual brothers and sisters. “Homosexuality feels right to us, so it is natural. It is part of our created constitution.” But that should not keep us from examining their arguments biblically and engaging them in as much careful discussion as they are willing.

    INSTRUCTIONS

    Put bulgur in a heatproof bowl. Bring water to a boil and pour over bulgur.
Let bulgur stand 1 hour.
While bulgur is soaking, in a large bowl, stir together onion, salt,
allspice, and dried mint, if using (do not add fresh mint now), and let
stand 30 minutes. Drain bulgur in a sieve, pressing hard to extract as much
water as possible, and add to onion mixture with remaining ingredients,
including fresh mint, if using.
Toss salad well and season with salt and pepper.
