Instead of ministering out of God's love and compassion, the church has often ministered to the Queer community out of a deep-rooted fear. Why do we administer hatred instead of allowing the balm of the Holy Spirit's tender care to define our actions?
The integrity of the gospel message has been hurt by the way many of us have wielded the power we have been given....

Most believers don't give it a second thought now, but that is a dramatic change. Initially Jesus is the host...
