Here is a popular song that is currently playing across Christian radio stations across the country. I think its message is a clear one to Christians, and non-Christians alike- instead of judging others, we should be welcoming them, and helping them.
Christ loved all sinners and every human is a sinner. This means Christ accepts and love gays and the Christian community needs to remember that. My Methodist church has opened its arms to gays.
If We Are The Body
(Casting Crowns)
It's crowded in worship today
As she slips in trying to fade into the faces
The girls teasing laughter is carrying
Farther than they know
Farther than they know, Lord
But if we are the body
Why aren't His arms reaching?
Why aren't His hands healing?
Why aren't His words teaching?
And if we are the body
Why aren't His feet going?
Why is His love not showing them there is a way?
There is a way.
A traveler is far away from home
He sheds his coat
And quietly sinks into the back row
The weight of their judgmental glances
Tells him that his chances are better out on the road
Jesus paid much too high a price
For us to pick and choose who should come
And we are the body of Christ
Jesus is the way
