Pride week

I was walking to Redifer to have lunch with a friend and I decided to cut through the HUB. No sooner do I walk through the doors then two guys walk up to each other and grab each others buttocks. Not the joking smack, but the lustful squeeze. Any other week I may have thought it bizarre, but not this week.



For those of you who don't know, this week is "Pride Week" at PSU.



This basically encourages some individuals to be more open about their homosexuality.



As usual around this time of year there are a series of opinion columns in The Collegian from homosexuals and Christians alike each one berating the last. While I did enjoy reading them most of what was said was pretty ridiculous.Especially what the Christians wrote. They all misquoted scripture or took passages out of context.



I just don't understand how people who claim to follow Jesus Christ can show such hate toward anybody. This is nothing new, Christians have been hating people for centuries.



Hate the sin not the person.



What better opportunity do we have to share the love of Christ with someone who isn't expecting it? What better way to break down stereotypes?

Jesus please force us out of our comfort zones and give us opportunities to show your love to the lost. Amen.

I hope you've heard this before, and you'll probably hear this again.

Because of his grace and for his glory.
