family feuds
As we gather with our families to celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday, many of us face relationships strained and even broken by sin . . . . our own and others.
Homosexuality is becoming more socially acceptable and more and more common in many of our extended families. So many have shared with me their struggle with a family member involved in the homosexual lifestyle. What is the proper Biblical/Gospel response to these loved ones?
Here is one perspective from John Piper that I think provides some helpful guidance in these challenging relationships. . .
Letter About How to Relate to a Relative Who Is Homosexual

Joe, great post. What an amazing opportunity we have to share the love of Christ by being loving and gracious with gay family members/friends, as we would be with anyone else. With anything I think it is SO important to remember the humanity of others and to see them as having been made in the image of God.
I'm no Bible scholar but I think I would differ from John Piper in my approach to the situation--is that allowed? :) Definitely a relevant topic, how we as believers relate to those around us.
Brianna, you may howaver, its a really bad thing to disagree with John Piper
