Jan 19, Andrea rated it it was amazing Shelves: This is the book I have been waiting for on this subject! I have long held out on the discussion of the church and homosexuality because I didn't hear anything like my opinion being said. I have heard hurtful comments from both sides. I have heard many clamboring to be right.
I haven't heard someone from the middle trying to help both sides heal, that is until now. Christy shares her personal battle. Her parents share their battle. They also share their healing. She is not shouting to be heard. She is clear about the purpose for the book. She is not confrontational. Dec 24, Pilar rated it it was amazing. Christy McFerren lovingly offers advice, information and biblical wisdom on how to approach family members properly, effectively and most of all, lovingly. This book is an excellent, non-judgmental, helpful and informative resource for the Church at large.
I truly believe every Christian should read "First Steps Out" was written for family or friends in the Christian community who has a son, daughter, sibling, cousin or friend who is struggling with not wanting to be in a homosexual relationship. I truly believe every Christian should read "First Steps Out". I highly recommend it. You can read my full review here: Sep 12, Ian Rees rated it liked it Shelves: Account of one young woman's battle to overcome same-sex attraction. There are a lot of helpful insights into her own battles, but perhaps almost as valuable are the contributions from her parents and material which details the shame and guilt they feel too.
Every person's battle is unique, so not everyone will benefit from it. Her own story is that she wanted to overcome homosexual feelings and succeeded in doing so while still quite young twenty-three , and got married too. Jan 08, Sundi rated it it was amazing. This book needed to be written 10 years ago. I'm so grateful for the boldness Christy had in stepping out and writing about this topic.
It's a must read for any family member struggling with their loved ones in regards to homosexuality. Nov 13, Jasmine rated it really liked it. Appreciated the insights from Christy's parents too.

Good shows His attitude toward the lost in three stories in Luke Jesus did not come into the world to condemn anyone, but motivated by incredible love, to reconcile us back to a love relationship with God by taking upon Himself the punishment for all sin, which happened upon the cross. He died, to pay the penalty of all sin which is death for all mankind, and when He rose from the dead 3 days later He won the victory over every sin and all of our ultimate enemy If Jesus did not rise, the Bible states that Christianity would be foolish.
People in their short life can form opinions, but those opinions will die right along with them. There are only 2 eternal things in this world, a person's soul and the inspired God breathed word of God. Nobody has to believe in God. The fallenness I dealt with in my life included many different sinful behaviors, including, homosexuality which is not an identity but a fallen sinful Behavior When Jesus started His ministry He said He was proclaiming good news, that His heart was to heal the brokenhearted, and to set captives free.
I could care less about the opinions I or anyone else comes to believe in one short life time. There is spiritual activity going on all around us, there is an enemy of man, the fallen angel Lucifer who loves to lie,steal,kill and destroy, just look around.. I am so thankful that I tasted and saw that God is good and love, and so kind. His loving Holy Spirit has opened my eyes to no longer be blind to the good news of the finished work of Jesus in His sacrificial death on the cross,burial and Resurrection and how that relates to me personally.
I am a new creation , alive with hope for today and eternal hope I could go on and on about how good God is but I will end my 2 cents with 1 verse from Romans 2: So many of us Christians have misrepresented the goodness, kindness and holy Majesty of our loving Lord. Any who do not know Him, I hope you call out to Him someday, He longs to be gracious to you also!!!! Humble yourself, draw near to God and He will draw near to you.
God resists the proud, He gives grace to the humble. Peace, hope and love are available to whosoever chooses, God will not override free will. Repentance is having a change of heart and mind towards what God calls sin, and turning to God who loves you more than you can ever fully comprehend until we see Him face to face when this short life is over. Genesis February 13, at 9: The word also tells us to love the sinner not the sin. It also tells us that we battle NOT against flesh and blood but against principalities.
The word also tells us that the devil is prince of this earth so naturally when we stand for Gods truth we are persecuted or labeled as bigots or being judgmental. One thing I take away from this post is that man kind will begin to shun Christians duh in the attempt to shut out the word. Christ was persecuted and so will those who follow Him. With all that being said love is a commandment, and Jesus hung with the sinnners.
How Should Christians Respond to Gay Friends or Family Members?
Mae February 26, at 9: I definitely appreciate your sentiment in writting this article. For example, your question to your mom, asking why she still identifies as lesbian if she doesn't have sex anymore. It honestly never occurred to me that some people would view same sex relationships as primarily sexual in nature. Personally, I really don't have any desire for sex with men or women, but I do want to be in a relationship with a girl, because that just feels right. I just get warm fuzzy feelings when I think about it. So, same sex relationships are the same as opposite sex relationships in that sex can be a part of them, but the main part of the relationship is love.
I personally have a hard time understanding why you or God would think that is wrong But I do understand that you are trying to be the best person you can be, as we all are. Eric April 1, at 9: The word is enough and true my brothers and sisters. Do not doubt it or equivocate on it. Love the sinner, hate the sin, including your own and repent constantly and sincerely as a humble way of life. But do not bear false witness on the word as you know better, and our God deserves no such scrutiny!
Beverly April 7, at 9: Jude says to "contend earnestly for the faith. He does not waver in what he speaks. I believe Jesus would have us love the gay person, but He would not neglect an opportunity to tell them to repent, "go and sin no more" and to be careful not to sin again, because a worse thing could happen to them. I believe many Christians are fed up with the militant gays, not the ones who are hurting and just want to be loved.
It's important that they understand that we don't agree with their choice, but equally important that we let them know that we value them and that God wants the best for them. What isn't addressed is that we have blood on our hands if we're afraid of being called homophobic, and don't speak the truth. But as Paul said, "Speak the truth in love.
Muri April 27, at Heather April 30, at All this is interesting but does not solve my diemma. My grandaughter is gay and has known her partner since she was When I found out I knew this would be a dilemma if they would decide to marry. As a Christian I do not believe in the gay life style and have often said I would accept a ceremony with another name and same rights as marriage but believe the definition of marriage should not be changed I have never discussed my feelings on this with my grandchildren because we live far away and I have only seen them about 10 times.
However Im sure they know that I am a serious Christian. They now are planning to marry and I dont know what to do. To my friends I immediately said that I could not attend the wedding without being a hypocrite and did not know how to tell them. I have met my granddaughters partner and spent a whole day with them. We had a lovely time surprizingly because they were in their early 20's and Im in my 70's.
I love them both and know it would hurt my granddaughter very much not to attend. Recently I talked to a friend who told me how much it hurt her for her brother not to attend her wedding for other reasons. She then asked me 'what would Jesus do' This really made me think. I also realized that I did not seek the Lords advice and just assumed I should not go. I am now leaning towards going but another friend suggested that I still must let them know that I do not approve of their lifestyle.
All I do know is that I must let them know that even with my beliefs I still love them very much. Please pray for wisdom for me in this decision. Jason May 17, at 3: Because I have just one huge question for you regarding to him, will religious freedom be the civil-rights issue of the next decade? Paul Fishman June 1, at You have some good points. A declared Homosexual person cannot of their own volition become a heterosexual BUT can by the power of Christ abstain from the behavior and lifestyle to live a pure holy life.
The power of Christ if allowed in their life to change and function can bring fullness of joy and purity. Freedom from pornography and sexual addiction of any type is the best way with constant pure thoughts. The homosexual lifestyle and behavior has its foundation much in pornography. They must live life in Christ to have a new identity.
There is NO such thing as being Christian and being gay. If later on they become hetersexual and marry that is up to God.

Renee June 17, at 6: Now I know a lot of people are going to jump up and down and get all over me for this; but sometimes love has to be tough. There's no excuse to condone sin and i don't care who's sin it is, or what sin it is. Discipleship has a price. People have and in some places today still do lay down their lives for the sake of the Kingdom.
And yes, the truth brings division. That's part of life. People change all the time and people's "orientations" change too. Change your thought process, you change your behavior. Now it's not usually something that happens overnight; especially if someone is entrenched in a particular ideology. Yet it does happen and more often than people with an agenda would be willing to admit. In a good percent of cases it happens without any intervention and "no body ever knew". And here is another idea I think is a misperception.
I've heard in many places about accepting the homosexual as a whole person; yet how many times to you see the "orientation" itself becomes an identity crisis obsessed over by the homosexual person? Individuals of certain ethnic minorities have the same problem. They are all caught up in "identity politics". Your not "black" or "gay" or even gender orientated before you are a human being.
That's the big picture that all of humanity faces. Now the whole question of "What would Jesus do? Yes, Jesus "sat down with tax collectors and sinners"; yet if you look at the context of all of every single one of those interactions - none of them - either of the people in those categories that invited him, or Jesus himself ever condoned or ignored the sin. Were there places, situations or even people Jesus avoided for the sake of understanding, "There's certain things I don't want in my head.
He probably never went in a Roman bath house; or at least not the sordid ones and I'm sure he never walked into a brothel either. There were plenty of those in the ancient world too. There are events recorded in the Scripture where Jesus didn't "stick around" because he knew there were people who meant him harm. So although Paul does say "All things are lawful for me And most importantly "I will not be a slave to anything. He turned right around to the deceptive individuals and pointed their sin out to them.
Ya know, people who are "accepting of everyone" don't get crucified! Maybe you worry that if you change that belief, it would call into question many other beliefs and then pretty soon, your whole foundation is ripped from underneath you. That would be scary. But courage is bravery in the face of fear and I believe your Christian foundation will be just as strong if not stronger if you display that courage and if you have enough faith in the core of your religion to know that you can look deeply within it without having it implode.
I believe there is a way you can change your belief about homosexuality and still maintain all your others. Some bits of the Bible are a bit outdated - mixing fabrics, eating shellfish, eating pork etc - reason being that at the time, those things posed a practical threat. Maybe at the time, the world needed more people so the idea of a marriage without children could be threatening to the future of the world.
A lot has changed. The core though - the basic principals - those were created to withstand any change and they should. Could you fake it? The options here are unbearable. Please genuinely close your eyes and imagine yourself in our shoes. Imagine the only way you could be a good person is if you only had sex with and married someone of the same sex. Or if you never had a relationship at all. They need you badly.
I feel pretty strongly that God knows the only way to combat hate is to promote love, and that love is not something to fight against. Steve July 28, at 5: Here's the biggest problem we have Gay is a term used by the left to rationalize homosexual behavior. It's a calmer word the left uses to make it seem normal and innocuous. When you hear the word "gay" you don't hear the word "homosexual", so it seems nicer.
It's the same way the left uses "pro-choice" instead of "abortion". Being "pro-choice" and "gay" doesn't sound harsh and intolerant. Using those terms make people feel okay about doing something wrong. And it's become so strong they actually believe something wrong is not wrong any longer. We can't get caught up in using those terms or we fall into the trap of compromise.

If we even use those terms we give credence and legitimacy to them. God didn't, doesn't, and will never create "gay" people. So we shouldn't use that term because it's a compromise. However, we also shouldn't condemn. We should just share the Gospel because that's all we're supposed to do. We're not supposed to change people. That's God's job, and we're not God. They are the intolerant ones. They are the hateful ones. We just share the gospel and allow God to use His Holy Spirit to convict unsaved people. And anyone who openly and proudly practices homosexual behavior is unsaved. A true believer will can secretly practice this behavior, but will be miserable in their sin, just like any truly born again believer is miserable in our sin.
As believers we are most miserable when we are living in sin. So we should avoid condemning any individual sin and just share the death, burial, and resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. The Gospel saves and changes lives, not us.

Jessica August 2, at 2: Whatever it is, I love Jesus more. Identity is no longer in myself. I am found in Him. My life is worship to Him. Really love Him and obey His commands w His help. Jeannine Holmes August 8, at 7: The issue is ones Spiritual nature. Everything that this man says and anyone else, is going to irritate you because it goes against the grain of what you want you want to do. E August 27, at I appreciate this conversation- it sounds like an interesting read.
As a Christian, I struggle with finding the balance between my spiritual beliefs and demonstrating love. I have friends who are gay, and I love them for who they are inside- not their gender expression or sexual orientation. It's unfortunate that if you are not affirming, then you are considered small minded, hateful, prejudiced, and homophobic. I chose not to share my beliefs outwardly because I don't want to hurt others or be hurt for my own beliefs. I have to lie about my religious beliefs at work and I have been confronted , most recently for forgetting that I had poured my morning coffee in a mug with a Bible verse and then took it to work because if I dont, then I will be fired.
I think that I only truly discuss it with maybe other people. I wish that there could be a balance. There are so many beliefs in the world. Trying to force one on everyone isn't helpful. I try to think of whether it will be more harmful than helpful. Contributing to someone's despair, depression, and possible suicide is never worth it. I may not always be in agreement, but I still want to show love. It's sad when any group is protested, called names, and abused. Qrst September 1, at E, I would highly suggest that you find a way to leave your place of employment.
What does Jesus say will happen if we deny him? Or even be harassed? Antonio September 8, at 7: If one is not following in God's true ways, the sin is sin. Man just wants it his way, not God's way. T September 12, at Even in the two years since this article was written and three since "Messy Grace" was published, it has become more a more political and polarized issue. As a 21 year old Christian, I feel this wholeheartedly.
I recently did a 7 month stint in LA and this is especially true in LA that if you're not for you're automatically a bigot and labeled simple minded. Yet still, in the midst of all this choosing sides, I have become obsessed with this idea of keeping my conviction yet being still loving I don't know if they're just silent or people my age really just don't share the same stance on this issue To be quite frank and honest, I haven't really found compelling arguments against homosexuality in regards to the original translations of the Bible To be honest, from my research, even now, the Bible doesn't seem explicitly say anything about homosexuality in regards to a loving relationship Carson Ball September 18, at Barber, II said it well on October 12, I'll paraphrase below as he listed a number of values that must be supported.
Teco, by saying the following, 'I have a dear friend who's daughter has decided she was really meant to be a boy. First, you referred to the child as your friend's "daughter" even though they are a boy. Secondly, you said, "decided she was really meant to be a boy. Thirdly, you put the word son in quotation marks which implies that he isn't really your friend's son. I'm glad that your friend is cutting negativity out of her life in order to protect her son. Too many trans people encounter ridicule, hatred, and violence. Your friend seems like a great parent and I hope that you learn how to be a better ally to her son.
Greetings to every one that is reading this testimony. I have been rejected by my husband after 10 years of marriage just because another woman had a spell on him and he left me and the kid to suffer. Tessa September 27, at 2: I am a young 20 year old bisexual girl who is cathholic.. I have had not even realised my sexuality until I realised I was in love with my best friend whom I had known for five years and she could not love me in the same way.. That if I fell in love with a woman now I would not be able to marry before the God that loves me and have his approval..
To hate a part of who you are is to hate God as he created us perfect in his image.. I didnt learn this "behaviour" or even known what it was called.. When I called myself bisexual it felt right and good.. I felt the holy spirit in me saying it is okay.. Gender doesnt matter to me.. Man and woman are created from his image.
So he and she is both.. God's plan is for us to be happy and find real true love in Him and in the world. Dewayne Bryan September 27, at 7: I scrolled to the bottom after reading true believer's words. Personally, I plan to read the book and for a few years, have wrestled with how to best be a minister to many nobody else will give the time of day.
This was a long while before my daughter, who lost her mom way too soon, told me about her life choice of a relationship with another woman. Was I a bit shocked? Do I love her no matter what? Have I embraced her with love of a father Many of the self proclaimed Christians I know are the ones emptying the pews in churches because of our judgmental ways and use of the bible as our weapon of choice to condemn others, usually while engaging in our own sin.
Anyway, most of the back and forth here is very adult like and actually gives hope that true men and women after God's heart are capable of love for others; but, much of it is nothing more than the junk we can find on any social media feed. Thanks for the book. I look forward to reading it. TracyMom October 28, at 5: There is a balance here between every person who commented above; We can be right with God, love God, love Christ, follow His ways alone and still love other people who sin differently than we do. I don't care if they sleep with the same sex, or use drugs, or have committed theft or abuse their child; each deserves love and forgiveness.
I am no better, although some days I'd like to believe that because I am a good person, or because I pay my taxes and work hard or because I'm a good mother, that I'm somehow less in need of saving.. I have sinful thoughts every day, and I ask God for forgiveness every day. Yes, love the sinner, hate the sin. I can love others and not agree with their decisions, which goes for every single person you and I both associate with, Christians or not.
Just be kind and quit worrying about others' heart towards God. Pray for them, but let God do the work He does so well without interfering in His plan. Witness but don't judge. The Bible instructs, love your neighbor as yourself. Whether you agree with them or not, like them or not.. What really makes you more Christ-like is to love without judgment. Irene November 12, at 4: Christians shouldn't have gay friends. Christians need to stick with legitimate Christian friends.
Just look at how twisted Lisa Whelchel's thinking has become as a so-called Christian having gay friends in her circle. These are quotes from her below. Lisa Whelchel pro gay quotes: Jesus taught acceptance and love and grace. The truly sad thing is she isn't referring to hateful racist fake Alt Right Christians.
Dedicated to Estelle Lobel who Loved to Read
She's including racially harmonious God-fearing Christians of all colors who don't hate gay people but simply do not agree with their lifestyle because it goes against God, the gospel and the teachings of Christ. It's either God or gays. Can't have it both ways. All because we FEAR persecution. I'd rather be persecuted for teaching the truth in love now than lose my soul trying to gain the whole world.
Sister Lisa has either forgotten this or has never been taught this truth. Pray for Lisa and for all the lost gay souls she is misleading. A real friend cares enough to gently warn those who are in trouble. Faithful are the wounds of a friend. Deceit does not get anyone through the gates of Heaven I'm sorry to say. Another pro gay anti Christian quote from Lisa Whelchel: Samuel Low November 13, at 9: I know that there is a lot of controversy over this topic, and I indeed as a year old am suffering from anguish because the Holy Spirit is guiding me to help a few LGBT friends. I think the main thing that bothered me on this comments thread was the hate.
When we are to correct each other, just like 2 timothy 2: What I see a lot happening is people trying to correct each other, just to be right. I think we should focus on the issue at hand, and make sure that we are right with God and our facts come from Him, so we aren't being hypocrites. I am 15 year old boy. I have struggled with gay attractions since I can remember.
It started at a very early age for me. However at the time I wasn't aware of what homosexuality was and I brushed it off. But as I progressed and went through I noticed what I was. I felt the gay feeling inside me. Now to be honest this hurts me alot to say but my parents will more than likely hate me for the rest of my life if I ever came out.
3 Steps to Getting Your Walk with Jesus Back on Track
I came across this article after over months of research for hope. My hope is that god will accept me in the afterlife. It hurts knowing a mothers love wont last forever. Without love I would kill myself. It gets very lonely. And reading how god describes gay people makes me even more depressed. Knowing that if I find a man that I love and one day die god will seperate our two souls or even worse put us in hell. Its hard to imagine that. Crying every night because you want to be with a man and have a healthy life when you get older but in the end you burn in hell. And knowing that when your in hell your pretty much doomed and there is no hope and YOU are now a forever sinner buring with the one you love until god completly boils us into the lake of fire.
The love we had will be separated and no more. I want to be in a relationship and have kids when I get older. Maybe even have a farm behind my house? It sounds crazy to me because I know god won't accept my gay relationship. Thats why I locked myself. Locked my mind in a place that tells me I have to go though my life alone and hopefully god will open the gated to heaven for me. The pain I feel from knowing I will have to go through my life alone is saddening.
I can't be with a women because that would only me unwise since I am not attracted to them. That would be a betrayal to both her and me. I'm not trying to betray or hurt anyone. But its hard reading articles like this knowing no hope will be found. I prayed to god for years.
I tried to change myself. I have now only grew more distant to the word of God. Because I would be putting myself in mortal pain. I can't follow something that clearly condemns me. And if I do follow it.. Its hard to say this. I don't want to leave the word behind. But the more I follow the less and lower my hope grows. I have read the bible in depth. I always thought god would forgive the sin no matter if you acted on it or not but all he wants is your belief in him,your trust,your deviation because god does state that the only unforgivable sin is NOT Believing in him and accepting him.
He dosn't say if you act on your sin you will parish in this area of the bible. And if he did won't that make it impossible to go to heaven? God died on the cross for a reason. For our sins so we won't have to face judgment by sin. He judges by law. If he judged by sin we would all go to hell. No matter what sin acted or not if god judged people by sin no hopr would be there. I find it hard to belive how he says homosexuals should have their blood shed.. And claims he forgives all sin?
It maked you feel like your the problem. I feel like I am. Because even though he says he forgives all sin through repentance, if your homosexual and engage in a homosexual relationship you are not forgiven. Instead you should face brutal punishment. It makes no sense to many. I know some may dissagree but it hurts to know that even though the bible says the word is for everyone and ANYONE can receive salvation by following his word he excludes this for homosexuals and homosexual relationships.
I had to continue my story on a separate comment due to the character limit. Im not wise but thats the best I can explain myself. Thank you for reading. Lynne Sczruba November 24, at 3: I have one question. How is ignoring the fact that sin leads to death, eternal death, loving a person?
How Should Christians Respond to Gay Friends or Family Members? « Biola Magazine
I wonder how many of you that are listing Bible verses and talking about what the Bible says have actually taken the time to get to know a gay person and really journey with them?? How many of you just spew words of hate and go on with your day without even a thought on how an individual might feel after reading the words in these comments! It's easy to talk about what is right and wrong until it becomes your personal reality and you are touched by it on a daily basis. If someone you would die for tells you that they are gay, you would not bang them over the heard with Bible verse and what God thinks.
You would love them and live a life that is genuine and loving towards others. THIS is what we are called to do. IF homosexuality is a sin, then you better take a look at your own sin before you go pointing out others! Christie November 27, at 7: Chuck November 28, at 7: Kim November 29, at 9: The intolerance on this thread makes me really sad. It may be clothed in kinder rhetoric than usual. Love the sinner, hate the sin sounds kinder. But in reality it is just as judgmental and and destructive.
If there are people in your life that have trust you enough to share the truth of their lives and their love, you are called by God to love them, defend them, create safe spaces for them because hate is NEVER in God's plan. It is you that needs to repent.
The only way this world is going to survive is through love and grace and compassion. Rip the scales from your eyes - and understand that God created you and me and them in God's image. Jesus came to preach a radical message of love and inclusivity. And you lose out on those beautiful relationships and take cold comfort in your convenient faith. God is a loving God. Hate has no place in the kingdom. Margaret wyne December 7, at My Husband divorce me for no reason, Thanks to Dr. I tried all my possible means to get her back,after much begging,but all to no avail and she confirmed it that she has made her decision,and she never wanted to see me again.
Then he gave me the email address of the spell caster whom he visited. So the next morning,i sent a mail to the address he gave to me,and the ,our relationship was now stronger than how it were before,by the help of a spell caster. So i will advice you out there to kindly visit the same Doctor ,if you are in any condition like this,or you have any problem related to "bringing your ex back.
Thanks you sir, for bringing back my husband,and brought great joy to my family once again. Good luck as you cantact Dr Freedom today because he is indeed a problem solver. Emily December 8, at I am in my 20 and straight. I grew up in church and am a Christian.
I do believe that same sex marriages are a sin. Though I find my self now in situation were I face people who disagree with this view. I need gudence on how to deal with my moral and spiritual beliefs without offending others. Also I recently started watching a kids cartoon that openly repersents gay relationships.
I like that the show repersents different body types and how to deal with judgment from others coming from on how one looks or where they come from. Should I still watch a show like this? How should I live every day with people who I strongly disagree with? Thank you for any help, young adult needing gudence.
I used to doubt spell casting until I was really desperate to get back my husband, after he left me and our 4 kids for his colleague at work and threatened me with a divorce. I had no choice than to seek for help, and behold I found Dr. Being really skeptical I was surprised to see how spells really work and I am so glad that I meant and I highly recommend him.
If you have a problem and you are looking for a real and genuine spell caster to solve the problem for you. Ellie December 11, at Caleb - As a transgender woman who is trying to navigate the Evangelical space, I thank you for this article. I have sat with too many parents of kids who have committed suicide because their parents, church, or community didn't embrace them and love them. I read Amber Cantorna's story of how her parents - her dad is an executive with Focus on the Family - still refuse to talk to her because she came out as Lesbian. Lives are being lost, and I HAVE to believe that no matter what, God values those lives so much more than being right or wrong on an issue.
One of the things I struggle with as a trans woman is trying to navigate where do I fit in? Where does the church hold to their truth? I am wanting to find community, believing that as I draw closer to God among others, He will show me and convict me if my decision to transition was in error. I don't think it was.
