Info

Unfortunately, Sonny picked a lukewarm church, thinking it would be soft on homosexuality. Aftera while he opened up to some members of the church and told them about his situation. Shortlythereafter a major donor in the congregation, fearful of catching AIDS from Sonny’s presence in thechurch, went to the pastor and told him that either Sonny was to be asked to leave or he himselfwould leave the church. The pastor asked Sonny to leave.At that time I was attending a “fundamentalist” church in Portland, Oregon which thehomosexuals hated for its devotion to Scripture, including that on homosexuality. Somehow Sonnyfound his way there. I heard the story about Sonny and the lukewarm church from my own pastor.He told it from the pulpit one Sunday morning to the entire congregation (without identifying Sonnyby name) and announced that he had invited Sonny to join our church and that anyone who had fearsabout AIDS could meet with him and a health worker to receive information and resources. Thepastor received a spontaneous outpouring of applause and as I sat there clapping I determined that Iwould seek out this man and befriend him.Little did I know that Sonny had been sitting directly behind me every Sunday for severalweeks, silently hating me because I was the spokesman for the Christian pro-family organizationOregon Citizens Alliance. I was a man whom he believed hated him out of bigotry, because that iswhat he had been told by Oregon’s “gay” leaders.Some weeks later I bumped into Sonny in the courtyard of the church and instantly realizedthat he was the man whom the pastor had described. Within the first ten minutes of our conversationhe told me that he was about to lose both his home and his job. He was being fired from his post asthe manager of a “gay” apartment complex because he had become a Christian and renouncedhomosexuality. I remember hearing myself invite him to live with my family if we could find a housethat would accommodate us both. Even then I knew it must have been the Holy Spirit speakingthrough me because I was so surprised to hear myself say it. However, the Lord miraculouslyprovided the living arrangements, clearly confirming that we were in His will.Sonny’s story embodies the three primary ways that churches respond to the “gay” agenda.The homosexuals who turned Sonny out of his house and job because he renounced homosexualityare like the “pro-gay church,” which will always act to silence genuine Christians, no matter howmuch harm results. The lukewarm church which seemed soft on homosexuality (because it failed toteach sound doctrine on the issue) is like the majority of mainline and conservative churches inAmerica today. They help neither the hurting homosexual nor the misguided Christians in theirpews. The fellowship that both Sonny and I attended is representative of the healthy church inAmerica today: compassionate toward same-sex strugglers like Sonny, yet fully committed to theactive teaching of Biblical truth about homosexuality.To which type of church do you give your allegiance?Redeeming the Rainbow 36
