The LGBTQI Community and the Church

The LGBTQI Community and the Church Few issues have divided Christians further and raised more controversy in the church than the issue of how lesbian, gay, bi-sexual, and transgender people should be ministered to by the church. Most Christians would rather not talk about the issue at all. Ministers and church leaders only want to discuss their policy towards the LGBTQI community behind closed doors and out of the spotlight. Many others have completely capitulated to the secular forces of modern-day culture and opened their doors for all to come in without conditions. When it comes to human sexual behavior, some churches say God's grace and love abounds to all. On the opposite extreme some Christians rant and rave against the LGBTQI community and condemn them all to hell. In thought-provoking ways Frederick Osborn tackles this issue head-on without giving into hate or fear, and without compromising God's word or bending absolute obedience to His commandments. This book can help pastors and leaders in the church who are still wrestling with the issue of how to minister to LGBTQI people in a Christlike manner. It can also help Christian family members understand how to share the love of God with someone in their family who is LGBTQI. This book will also help anyone who is struggling to reconcile their faith with their same-sex attractions. No doubt, some of the things written here will be controversial; it is unavoidable because the issue itself is filled with controversy. Some on either side of this issue will not like all that is written here; that is unavoidable also because as much as possible, the author tried to understand and convey both sides of the issue.
