O Father of mercies, the God of peace and
comfort, of rest and pardon, grant me, Thy
servant, patience in my sickness, comfort in
my sorrows, and restore me to health, if it
seem good unto Thee. But if it be Thy will
to call me hence, receive my soul into Thine
everlasting rest; or if it be Thy will to spare
me, give me grace to amend my life, to the
glory of Thy name: through Jesus Christ
our Lord. Amen.
“But it is clear that those two women love each other. Why should you say that is wrong?” We must accept God’s definition of love. And according to the famous “love chapter” in 1 Corinthians 13, love “does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth” (1 Cor. 13:6). The Bible repeatedly calls homosexuality, unrighteous. God is love and we must stand by God’s definition of love and not society’s definition. Furthermore, it is in love for the homosexual that we warn him or her about their relationship. First Corinthians 6:9-10, “Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God.” How can we believe this verse in Scripture and then tell a gay person everything is fine? I’d say that’s extremely unloving!
