Summary

This is a difficult subject for episode #2. It’s hard to miss the fact that it’s Pride Month. We see it in advertising on TV and online, and hear it in messages on the radio and in conversations. Many retailers even display “pride” sections in their stores and change their logos to display a rainbow for the month. This is a personal subject for me and many others and too often we are afraid to offend. We all know someone living in a homosexual lifestyle. They are our family members, co-worker...

Hi, I'm Cissy Graham Lynch. Welcome to Fearless, helping you have a fearless faith in a

0:08.6

compromising culture. Fearless. Welcome to be.

0:16.5

Beless. Welcome to be. Welcome to another episode of Fearless and today we're going to talk about a tough

0:26.4

subject and I think we're seeing a trend in our society where churches and pastors are not addressing social issues and

0:35.7

tough topics from the pulpit and there could be a number of reasons for that.

0:39.6

They don't want to offend anybody which I think too bad we already live in an easily

0:43.2

offended culture but if we're going to talk about Jesus and the gospel he came to take

0:49.1

the sins of the world away which we have to address the sin. And that's unpopular amongst a lot of

0:55.8

churches. I think maybe they misunderstand the nature of God. They don't want to

1:00.5

lose numbers in their churches. There could be a number of reasons why they're not addressing these subjects and we can talk about that at another time.

1:07.0

But we're going to talk about homosexuality today because we see this being a very divisive subject even in the church.

1:17.0

So I believe we need to look at it, we need to see what scripture says about it,

1:21.0

because this isn't a political issue, it's not a social issue, this is a biblical issue.

1:30.3

As a Christian, I view homosexuality as any other sin.

1:35.0

I see it the same as my sin. I see it as the same sin as sex before marriage, adultery,

1:41.0

all that sin nailed Jesus to the cross. So their sin, my sin all nailed Jesus to the

1:47.8

cross. He took it all. That whoever believes in him will not perish but have everlasting life.

1:54.5

So when I'm talking about the subject of homosexuality, I don't see any different and I don't see

1:59.6

my friends send any different than mine.

2:03.2

And I think it's in our culture we see a lot of churches, pastors and faith leaders not wanting

2:10.6

to talk about this subject. Because I think the subject in 2019 has become

2:15.1

personal to us.
