If we're honest, the issue of homosexuality intimidates most church
leaders. It makes us feel helpless. When someone pulls us aside and
confides in us that he or she struggles with same-sex attractions, we
diligently put on our "leader face" while we shrivel on the inside,
feeling absolutely incompetent to address the situation.
Nothing could be further from the truth. If you believe God's Word
to be true, then you automatically have the needed tools for effective
ministry, since all Scripture is "useful for teaching, rebuking,
correcting and training in righteousness" (2 Tim. 3:16, NIV).
Therefore, we are equipped as the church to minister to anyone who
walks through our doors—homosexual or not.
