Homosexuality
Is Against God's Will – Like It or Not!
Some
Churches and their leaders are wrong to claim that the Bible does not speak out
against homosexuality. Indeed, the Scriptures are clear – even quite open and
blunt – on the subject. (see Romans 1: 26, 27; First Corinthians 6:9; Timothy
1:10) Simply put, homosexual thoughts or acts are against God’s will and
therefore sinful, period. This is not hatred, bigotry, or discrimination; this
is just a plain and simple Biblical fact, no more, no less. This teaching may
not be popular today in many circles, but it is the truth nontheless.
Of
course, this is also no different from any other sin. This too has been
completely paid for by the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the Cross and can be
forgiven. Homosexuality is not some kind of "unforgivable sin,” and
homosexuals should in no way be hated, shunned, or looked upon as hopelessly
condemned to hell.
However,
a person may only receive the eternal benefits God’s free forgiveness if they
acknowledge the truthfulness of His Word, and their sin, and thus repent and
believe the Gospel. And people are not going to admit they are wrong and repent
if they are told that what they are doing is not a sin. So – all churches that are doing this – cut it out! You're not
helping, you're actually hurting people! And that's the point!

Spot on with your short and concise commentary! You say:
".....And people are not going to admit they are wrong and repent if they are told that what they are doing is not a sin....."
Exactly! Christian pastors need to speak the truth in love and speak it regardless of the pressures of the political correctness culture.
May I share a topical message on the subject by providing a title and a link? There are some ideas in this message which may help other pastors speak to the subject:
Why Divine Revelation (Scripture) condemns homosexuality. Why homosexual activists become so upset when their lifestyle is called into question
