The Lepers Among Us sends a
call to the Evangelical Church to stop
treating believers who struggle with homosexual sin as lepers. The call is
for the Church to be and become Family for all sinning Saints, including
those who struggle with same-sex sins - to stop dispensing a hush-hush
shame and begin mediating grace openly to all believers who struggle
with gender identity issues. Like all of us, same-sex strugglers from
time to time need professional counseling or a para-church group, but
neither can possibly do the work of publicly and openly redeeming a life
for a lifetime. Only the Church can do such a great work! It is time for
the Church to host parties for those who come home to Christ’s Body,
declaring their desire to be healed and their willingness to repent.
