My wife and I are spending more time with him and our relationship is better. We do realize that he is at least question in his sexuality and that he is not cemented. We encourage him and let him know that he is a wonderful son that any parent can have.

It is quite common for young teenage boys to be confused about their sexuality and I’d encourage you to help him believe that his feelings are not fixed, that teenage years are times of extreme mood swings, and that what he is presently interpreting in this way may well pass away and he’ll look on this time in a different light.

After he explained his feelings to me I told him what God says about marriage, about the history of societies that fall when homosexuality is widely accepted and that medically speaking it won’t work. I realize that I can’t change him from having gay desires to being straight. I pray that he keeps Christ first.

One more thing, it is frightening that so much hatred towards Christians is being spewed every day. If my son chooses to come our and accept being gay, I hope that he does not become like those hate filled people who accuse Christuans of being bigots.

Because love means compassion and understanding, but not amenability. Yes, God loves the sinner, but hates sin, and sin is incompatible with him. Homosexuality looks like a neutral power until it is awakened. Then becomes dangerous. God’s creation was perfect until sin polluted it. Homosexuality is a deviation from the right line and Jesus does have an interesting answer about it (Mt. 19:12).

Your honesty and *actual* Biblical perspective is refreshing! I’ve come across a few other posts in the blogosphere that have troubled me concerning this very issue.

There seems to be a blurring of lines when it comes to homosexuality. It seems like some Christians (or those who only call themselves Christians) get confused about what it really means to LOVE someone, regardless of their sexual tendencies. It doesn’t mean we have to say the sin is OK. We need to love them, yes, but not agree with them. I hope this doesn’t seem too pious–I’m a only a sinner SAVED BY GRACE!

I’ll certainly give that some thought.

Evans continues to baffle and frustrate me. I often think she should write her own book now called “Liberalism wins” or something of the like seeing as she seems tone picking up the mantle of Bell as he fades out.

As for the issue at hand, i wonder if you could speak to the time before this day comes as a parent (perhaps you have posted on this before, as if so forgive me). How would you counsel a parent who is raising a child in this hyper-sexualized, anything-goes culture to inform and protect their children before a day like you describe ever comes? Basically, how should we talk to our young children now about God’s good design for sexuality and the very real pressures they may feel and temptations that may come to protect them from being deceived and trapped in the future?

I am seeing everyday the terrible dissolving of what the word of God says when it comes to this subject. The LGBT agenda is saturated with lies that must be addressed but we must also know how to take a strong stand but with compassion, NOT compromise.
