When somebody exposes their sin, especially to the world, it is important that we use love back, not war. Everyone is in their own part of the journey, and sometimes that trial may be destructive....this does not give us the authority to hate, put down, and raise war against the people. It instead is an opportunity to show love when nobody else is, to show them that there IS someone to accept them, and that name is the name of Jesus. How do you think people are going to see Jesus if we go out there and put them down, and talk about how much of a "monster" they are and degrading them. Your bringing Satan attention by doing that. Keep focus on the Lord, and remember the battle belongs to the Lord.
They are his child as much as we are his. So instead of us raging fists, and putting people down so much that they go deeper and darker places just to perform it, lets bring them out to the light, and show them the love that they are blind to. Let us show them the joy that they seek, and as for those confused or manipulated, lets GENTLY pray against it, rather than trying to storm the castle.
The enemy flourishes in attention, and even if it happens or not, at the end of the day, nobody is going to get "converted" by that. It is just a gathering of people in a specific part of a journey of finding what love is. And they just haven't found that they are accepted yet. My brothers and sisters in Christ, do you not see such a brilliant opportunity that awaits?
What if instead of rushing in, yelling at them, and causing a scene where they go into a dark other place of doing it, why have we not taken the time yet to say "hey, let me volunteer. Let me help them stay hydrated. Let me take this opportunity to talk to others who are broken. Let me take this time, to show them that yes, Christians are friendly. We are not their enemy. What if we showed them that we can be loving individuals, (While not being part of the sin itself, but rather, to help them!)
Scenerio one: We rush into the courthouse, scream and yell. A civic center takes them in, and armed guards are everywhere. Overall its a risk, its tense, and it becomes unlawful and if not dangerous and or deadly. They feel like they have to hide, they close off, and things get more dangerous, more desperate. More intense. More problems in schools, or in other locations because they dont have a safe place to do it. It puts many at risk.
Scenerio Two: We help them get involved, get them in a nice safe area, help out the security, help them have their fun for a day, pray over the stuff as we work, and for people we walk by. Talk to people and be a friend. Even though they sin, we are there for them, we are talking to them, sharing, and blowing
them away. They see the church shirts, and they feel accepted, and go to visit those friends because 99.99999% of churches dont allow for that. Next thing you know, they are giving their life to Christ and crying out for Jesus, and realize they found what they are looking for.
See the difference? So Am I SUPPORTING the sin? Of course not, but the battle is the Lords! Also, in the end of the day, I have to remember that I once was an Otokonoko, and because of love and kindness in Christ, was I able to set that life aside, and look to helping the homeless, and help pray for people who are feeling empty of Christ. It was because of others being friendly to me that I was able to see the real representation of what God was all about.
My life dramatically changed because of that day. So what choice will you make?
