More and more evangelicals are embracing same-sex unions. Isn't this an issue where we can agree to disagree? If not, why?
Our greatest responsibility is to point sinners to the cross of Christ and the promise of salvation for all who believe. Those with common sense on both sides of the issue reject the suggestion that there can be a third way or that some kind of neutral ground can be reached. There are many issues-same-sex marriage and homosexuality central among them-on which the answer eventually must be a yes or no. Every single church must eventually accept or reject the legitimacy of same-sex marriage. Every congregation, Christian institution, and religious organization will eventually have to make a decision on the issue of homosexuality. There is no integrity in the resignation to simply "agree to disagree" on an issue in which the gospel and the authority of Scripture and ultimately the eternal state of human beings-are at stake.
