We love; we carry hope and not fear.
We are and ought to be the furthest from being homophobes. There will be people who baselessly accuse us of being homophobic or homo-focused (overly focused on homosexuality as a sin) and as long as we live according to His Word, we have nothing to fear.
We can avoid playing into our accuser’s hands through genuine display of humility and commitment to love.
The Church is imperfect because it’s made of imperfect people (you and me) saved by the grace of God. We don’t profess to be perfect and we acknowledge that we can all definitely do more to make the world a better place.
This is why we ought to be equipped and continuously grow as individuals. The Bible is God’s gift to us; some may even call it the ultimate guidebook to life. Let us grow, learn and press in more into its wisdom, adding professional knowledge to solid Biblical principles and be ready in season and out of season to give a defence for the faith and goodness.
Who is going to harm you if you are eager to do good? But even if you should suffer for what is right, you are blessed. “Do not fear their threats; do not be frightened.” But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect, keeping a clear conscience, so that those who speak maliciously against your good behavior in Christ may be ashamed of their slander.
— 1 Peter 3:13-16 (NIV)
