Responding to LGBTQ issues by “speaking the truth in love”: Four biblical principles

From The Daily Article by The Denison Forum

About this episode

The episode discusses how to address LGBTQ issues with biblical principles of truth and love.

I should never write or speak on a subject without considering those for whom it is highly personal. This principle applies especially to the Pride Month article I published yesterday. However, there wasn’t space to offer reflections on the inherent balance in “speaking the truth in love” (Ephesians 4:15), so I’ll attempt to do so today. How do we take biblical stands on moral issues in ways that help rather than harm? How do we offer truth with compassion? How do we address divisive issues out of love for our Lord and our neighbor (Matthew 22:37–39)? Today, we consider four biblical principles.
