PREFACE SUMMARY

Dear reader, I begin this message with a burning desire to reach out to the gay community with the Love of Christ, and beloved, the truth is that I have not walked in their shoes nor have I braved their storms but one thing that I know that allows me to sleep at night and that is the very fact that God's Son Jesus died for them and deeply desires that they may find him in the power of his resurrection.

Yes, dear reader, God declares in his word found in (Psalms 8:4) that he loves mankind his greatest creation so much that he has a mindful of him.

Beloved, to answer the question about people that feel they are born gay and how that difference will affect those around them is what this entire message is about and it will require a lot of research to better understand how to reach out to those that are different with the love of God which is shed abroad in our hearts.

Dear reader, it is a sad fact that some of the church world today seem to look down on others with harsh judgement as if they are defending God!
