#10: What is Love Anyway?


That guy sang that song in the eighties, "What is low-ow-ow-wuv, anyway.

The answer is something about a second hand emotion. Was that Tina Turner who sang that? No it was the 100 revs. This is what they say,

Indeed the church has often been profoundly unloving toward the GLBT community.

The 100 revs don't want love they want a second hand emotion. Acceptance, approval, something like that. How exactly do they think the church has been unloving? By not allowing practicing homosexuals to worship freely in our congregations? By standing up against the gay lobby? By refusing to allow homosexuality to be delisted as a sin because our deeply troubled society has allowed the homosexual lobby to redefine homosexuality as normal and happy? By insisting any person who comes to church be challenged about their sin whatever form it may take?

Love does what's best for someone. Even when they don't like it.

Why does a parent discipline a child?
Why does a friend pour an alcoholic's grog down the sink?
Why does a mate tell you to pull your head in at a party?
Why does the church correct homosexuals?

LOVE.
