But we would do well to think of ourselves in the same way we used to think about the lost people of the mission field. We have become the new heathen. We Americans are the ones now in thrall to primitive superstitions, such as believing in the power of positive thinking and having faith in ourselves. We are the ones held back by a materialistic worldview that has little conception of the supernatural. We are the ones with brutal customs, such as aborting our infants, neglecting our children, and abandoning and sometimes euthanizing our elders. We have simple, pounding music, and we are uneducated about the realities outside of our tribe. With our limited mind-set, we have trouble grasping the truths of Scripture.

FORMER LESBIAN ACTIVIST

“Being lesbian wasn’t an issue for me. I was happy.But then someone changed my life forever.”

Having a lesbian identity was the best thing that had happened tome…I’d been rejected by men…ridiculed all my life for being atomboy. I was angry about being treated as “different” from othergirls, tired of the pain of rejection…I mean, as soon as I learnedwhat “homosexual” meant, I knew that was me. I had no interest inmen…and it just felt so natural, so I acted on it. As a lesbian, itwas great to finally have an identity that fit. I loved beinggay…but down deep inside, I wondered if living like this was right.Of course, I didn’t think there was any way out…I mean, I was bornthis way, right? So why did I feel the doubt? When I let Christ intomy life, He opened my eyes to a love I had never experienced before,but had always wanted. I learned how He had a different purpose formy life…and saw how His unconditional love helped me to heal thepain I’d covered for so long…I really thought I belonged before,but believe me, there’s no better life than being with God.
