Soulforce which is a Gay/Lesbian rights group are making their rounds to faith-based colleges. A couple of weeks ago, they kicked off their tour by visiting Liberty University and recently made a visit to my alma-mater –Columbia International University. While CIU Administrators did not allow Soulforce on campus property, CIU faculty and staff along with some students met them at an off campus location. While I do not know the details of their meeting, I have no doubt that their was some in-depth debating that occured. However, if Soulforce expected to meet a group of people who would instantly judge them, I can assure you they had the wrong perspective. CIU may disagree with their present lifestyle, but I feel sure that they listened to them and answered their questions honestly while presenting them with a loving example of Christ. As Christians we need to remember that homosexuals are in need of forgiveness just as much as you and I. Because of that, we need to present them with a balance that lets them know we do not affirm their actions, but at the same time let know about the love of Jesus.
While Soulforce’s tour continues, I pray that seeds are planted in their hearts and that someone decides that they want the same love of Jesus that their “opponents” share.
