Scriptures: Romans 1:26-27, Genesis 2:24, 1 Corinthians 6:9-11, 18

There has been a radical change in what our country thinks and believes about homosexuality. What was once condemned is now condoned and confirmed as an appropriate "alternative lifestyle". But is it? What does God have to say about homosexuality? How are we to respond to those in the homosexual lifestyle? Too often the church has considered homosexuality to be more of a sin than others. The truth is, every kind of sexual relationship that does not occur between and husband and wife is equally sinful in the eyes of God. Dr. Merritt tells us, through this poignant journey through God's Word, how we are to respond to homosexuality in a Christ-like way.

"There is not a homosexual in the world that has a monopoly on sin. We cannot cast the first stone, the second stone or even the third stone at the homosexual. We have to love him and we should love him, because Jesus loved him. We will love them, not because of what they are or what they do, but what they can be and can become in the Lord Jesus Christ." --Dr. Merritt
