I thought this was well done. One questioned asked near the end of the article:
Christian, what did you have to give up to be here?
I think that hits home for many.

"Christian, what did you have to give up to be here?”
Great question. If the answer is "nothing" you have some soul-searching to do.

it proves the studies that show friendship evangelism is by far the most effective way people come to Christ.

Jesus Himself employed various means of evangelism.
That said, so-called “friendship evangelism” (building relationship with non-believers) is an excellent way to communicate the truth of Christ.

Zebra. Stripes. No way to change that. I don't see your point... if you're saying that she's a homo and will always be one, then are you not also saying that God cannot save from sin?

Problem is many have the friendship part down pat. They just forget the evangelism.

Well, there is a difference between being a buddy - and being an actual, loving, friend...

"Christian, what did you have to give up to be here?” I am reminded of a story I was told by someone who was involved with Alcoholics Anonymous for many years.
A new, younger woman was telling the group very passionately about how she "deserved" to be free of her addiction, God must make it so, we all "deserved" it, etc...
A longer-term member, who had once been a drug-user, gang-banger, did time in prison, etc... replied: "I pray God does not give me what I deserve!"

Also, a lot of people including me don't think lesbianism is a sin.

Some people can and do change. Look at the lives of Bernard Natanson, Carol Everett and Norma McCorvey. Bob
