For The Bible Tells Me So


So this guy found out that one of my friends is a lesbian and he began to throw the Bible at her (figuratively speaking of course) because he said he was a minister so he felt like he "had to". Now mind you buddy didn't have any exact quotes, all he could say is that God punished the gay people in the bible.

Here's my issue:

If you're going to be an effective minister PLEASE know the word or at least have it with you so that you can reference it if need be!

Also, The most effective ministry is the one that we live daily. Meaning, you can throw Bible at people all day, but what are you SHOWING them about living righteous? God is love. Instead of telling people how they aren't living right, be the example of righteous living. You think being gay is wrong, so is being in a loveless marriage; exemplify how rewarding and blessed a heterosexual marriage can be. You want to stop people from fornicating, show them how rewarding saving yourself for the right person can be. Think having a glass of wine is a surefire way to end up in hell? Show people that they can relax or have fun without it.

The Bible says in Psalm 119:11 " I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you." The word of God is not to be slung around like a machete, but rather to be hidden in your heart. The way you spread His word is to live in a way that inspires people to want to read God's word and hide it in their hearts so that they themselves will choose not to sin against Him.
