2 Thoughtful Articles About Christians and Same Sex Marriage

I’m in many conversations right now about gay marriage.

As one who is passionate about the next generation, I seek to be attentive to issues that involve marriage and family.  Here are a couple of articles that may help frame discussion if people are asking you about it.

May we be those who thoughtfully consider how the gospel interacts and transforms the world around us.  It’s a great time for truth, grace and balance.

  1. A good friend of mine put it best.

    "What if the government managed Civil Unions and manage the requirements for those? And Churches and other religious institutions would manage sacraments and marriage and manage requirements for those? That way the government would not have a particular theology forced upon it and churches would not have anyone's theology forced upon them.

  2. Hey Will, I find that what your friend said is more and more where I'm landing. The reality this is a complex / difficult issue. I long for us (whoever that is) to respond so well.
