Some of us have a plank of a cold heart. We feel no compassion for those with SSA. “The Bible is clear,” we reason. “Homosexuality is a perversion, and that’s all there is to it.” But to tell a young man or woman that God’s best for them is a lifetime of celibacy and denial of feelings that seem so natural, and to tell them so without the slightest sense of compassion, is terrible. Such coldness cries out for our own need of cleansing and change.
