the homosexual agenda

A representative from LoveSingapore, an informal group of churches in Singapore, is against the repeal of 377A, a law that penalises men for having gay sex. Even though I don't see how repealing of the law will affect heterosexuals, they had said that they needed to speak up because of the homosexual agenda actively pushed by gay activists. What exactly is the homosexual agenda? To me, there is no homsexual agenda. The only thing we want is to be happy and be able to spend our lives with the person we love.

I get extremely ministered worshipping to most Hillsong songs. Some people have come to me to tell me that Hillsong Church is the very church that posseses an anti-homosexual agenda. I had told them that regardless of what they believe in, God has anointed them to write powerful lyrics and compose beautiful tunes. Being anti-homosexual doesn't prevent one from being used by God. I didn't know why anti-hillsong people couldn't understand that distinction.

The church I accepted Christ and grew up in was quite actively involved in the Love Singapore movement before. I am not sure about now. In fact, the Senior Pastor was one of those who really believed in the movement. I love my ex-church and some of the leaders and the things they believe in. And I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to my straight friends. However, as I was reading the letter written by one of the representatives from LoveSingapore and the comments following the letter showing the ignorance and biogty of their followers, I had to pray to God for me not to harbour any bitterness towards my fellow believers in Christ, including that of my ex-church. Then I understood how my anti-hillsong friends felt. They must have felt so passionately about being discriminated against that their anger went beyond God's gifts of Hillsong Church, the gift of worship they bring to others..

In my reflection in the past few days, I somehow wondered if the evil one is waging a war amongst the children of God. Christians are now angry with Christians. What's next? I think the best way to pray is for God's peace and love to dwell in the hearts of his believers.
