For almost 20 years now, I have been guided by this principle when it comes to LGBTQ people and issues: reach out to the people with compassion; resist the agenda with courage. But how, exactly, is this done? And how does it play out in terms of the people we are called to reach and the agenda we are called to resist?

Pride goeth before the fall.
Won’t be long now.
The only way a “loving Christian” can support the trannys is by also being a pedo. Tran is all about grooming, always has been except for the vanishingly small %age of poor folks who really have gender dysphoria — not the wannabies screaming about rights.
If you support LGBTwhatever without taking exception to the active grooming you cannot be any form of a Christian.
“inciple when it comes to LGBTQ”
so ... admitting you are part of the problem eh?
well a first step i suppose..
If you don’t love evil, it’s not a predicament.
I find it weird how some Christians feel the need to bend over backwards to tell society how much they “love” homosexuals.
Do we do the same gymnastics for car thieves? people engaged in extra-marital affairs? Porn stars? Alcoholics?
Its all sin, its all self-destructive to oneself, and others. God may give you the grace to repent and we pray that happens. Wonderful!
If not, suffer the consequences.
Antifa is always ‘reaching out with compassion’ to us... and the rest of the liberal goons and thugs do the same...Yeah, we’re used to compassion..
Who write this crap>?
Loving Christians hate sin.

Who writes this crap? And how stupied do they think we are?I
If the ‘gay community’ wanted to ‘reach out’ they should tell their drag queens that humping and grinding in front of other people’s children is NOT acceptable EVEN IF THEY’RE ‘MARCHING’ IN A PARADE OR PRANCING AROUND A BASEBALL DIAMOND.. NO, sexual weirdos can not mutilate our children so they can have fresh sex toys.
There is no “predicament” for those with clear morals and sufficient internal fortitude.

Many who call themselves Christians and some who are, have a strange worldview and expectation of what that love should look like and manifest.
No Christian can condone sin or brush it off.
Calling it out as sin is NOT unloving, as the left likes to accuse Christians of being. Loving the sinner, IMO, is treating them with the dignity and respect due to all human being because of their inherent worth of being made in the image of God. However, it does not include condoning sin or capitulating to their demands. Their sin needs to be called out and they need to be called to repentance and faith in Christ.
Jesus was perfect love, but still had strong words for the Pharisees (Matthew 23) and cleared the Temple of the money changers in quite a display of physical action.
He never compromised on sin even when He brough the message of the gospel to the sinner.
I don’t really see the conundrum. I work with some homosexuals and we work well together. If they were to choose to “marry” another guy, I could not attend the ceremony because wedding attendees are in essence granting their approval by their presence.
Churches need to have some standards, preferably written in their bylaws that equally treat open sinful behavior. A member who is in an affair should be removed from membership. (I’ve seen it, always with the goal of reconciliation, which I’ve also seen work)
Couples living together are welcome to attend but not have any participatory role. Same for homosexuals.
A tranny with aftermarket modifications, then repents and becomes a believer presents an interesting case. Not sure how to handle that one.
I have two beautiful nieces and a personable nephew both claiming to be “gay.” What am I to do? I hate it for them. I hate it for their parents. But I continue to interact with them. Of course. Send them card and texts.
There is objective moral truth. You may not like that but your opinion doesn’t change it. You can deny that a safe, pushed off a building, is about to land on you but your opinion or how you ‘feel’ doesn’t change reality. Real love tells people the objective moral truth. Repent - or the safe will flatten you. As will a Holy God in judgement.
Of course... no one believed Noah and his family either.
I bet they are quietly (if not outright) miserable. They may reveal that to you. Don't hide from them, and don't hide your own beliefs. That's all I can suggest. God bless you.
Excellent article. I agree that these folks cannot hear you say that you love them if you do not also condone gay sex or gay marriage. It is a very difficult issue.
Why title an article with an absurdity?
Why not "The Perverted Side of LGBTQ Pride..."
Or
"The Evil Side of LGBTQ Pride..."
The Unholy side of Queers
