To
truly "love" others we must first love God and His truth — that's the foundation
(cf. Matthew 22:36-40).
Does
loving someone mean we approve of their lifestyle? Or does it mean that we love
them enough to share the truth? If a person is more worried about being liked
than being truthful, do they really love those caught in sin more than those who
are willing to speak the truth in love?
The
answer is obvious: Authentic Christians love the truth and others to the degree
that they are willing to risk the consequences of confrontation in order to help
others. This is genuine love, not hatred. The greatest gift LGBT parents can
give to their children is love and truth rather than reinforcing a destructive
lifestyle. Shane Idleman.
