What is your own view of it? Do you think it’s wrong and are you seeking help to change and be delivered? Or do you think it’s right? Are you therefore planning to pursue homosexual relationships? Or are you in one already? How long has this been going on for? Is it possible it’s just temporary confusion about sexuality that some teenagers go through? What thoughts, feelings, and actions make you say that? Tell him that you’re asking them to help you both to understand this better. Some other important questions can be found here. Sixth, if your son agrees that homosexuality is sinful, and he wants to have victory over these temptations, then there are many Gospel promises you can encourage him with. Having our sins forgiven and our consciences cleansed of guilt is THE most powerful force in the world for battling temptation. Without it, there can be no lasting victory. However, if he says that he believes homosexuality to be okay and he’s decided to pursue it, then while assuring him of your continued love and care, you must lovingly warn him of the spiritual and physical dangers of homosexuality. Perhaps ask him if he’d be willing to discuss certain Bible passages with you. Seventh, I’d encourage the son not to see himself as a homosexual, not to define himself by his sexuality. Rather I’d want him to see himself as creature made in God’s image, a man with many parts to his identity, a person with many gifts, a son with a diverse character and personality, one part of which, at least for the moment, is to have a homosexual desires.Įighth, I would ask him to keep coming to church, especially as homosexuality is sometimes the result of worshipping self rather than God ( Romans 1:24-25). But I would ask his permission to let the pastor know about his situation because I’d want to urge the pastor to greater sensitivity towards those struggling with homosexuality. Like Rachel, I too have winced and cringed as preachers have condemned homosexuality as if it is an unforgiveable abomination that only weird and wicked people outside of church struggled with.
