In today's episode of Ask Paul Tripp,

we'll listen to Paul explain how we can share and show the love of

Christ to our gay friends and neighbors. Here's Paul.

Well, I want to discuss with you what in our culture has become an important topic and a point of question for many, many believers.

And I don't know how else to set this up other than saying the question is this, okay,

how do I relate to my gay neighbor?

How do I relate this person who's living this lifestyle that I believe the scripture is very clear in saying it's outside of the boundaries of God's plan for human beings. It's wrong.

How do I have a neighborly kind of relationship with these people that are now living next door to me.

And I want to start with the negative before I talk about the positive.

Because I think there are mistakes that we make that need to be addressed.

First, I would say it this way.

It's wrong to treat anyone with prejudice because of a single sin.

Now, think with me.

Who could live under that standard?

If you took the thing that I struggle with the most,

and I want you to understand,

Paul Tripp is not yet sin-free.
