Interesting words from Pastor Andy Stanley It rocked Christians on social media, though leading with love and grace shouldn’t rock anyone. One would have to have a hard heart to disagree with him on this, especially as delicately as he stated it. Swap “gay” for “Democrat” and that’s exactly how I felt in the Baptist and evangelical church. Heck, it forced me out of those churches as I felt I was always walking on eggshells. And, it was how I felt every time I interacted with any in-law (except for the gay uncle).
“A gay person who still wants to attend church after the way they’ve been treated… I’m telling you, they have more faith than I do.”

“Where do you go that you are not sure you are going to be accepted and you go over, and over, and over, and over. Only your in-laws and that’s because you have to.
That’s the truth, and thankfully those toxic people are out of my life.

“We have some things to learn from a group of men and women who love Jesus that much and want to worship with us.“
