In light of the United States Supreme Court decision to allow same-sex marriage in all 50 states, this question is becoming increasingly more relevant for a biblically-minded Christians. In this video, Sam Allberry offers a wise response that allows believers to maintain a friendship without compromising our Christian witness.
Is God Anti-Gay?
by Sam Allberry
The polarizing debate about homosexuality has consumed our modern culture, not only in the secular space but within the church itself. Denominations are splitting over the issue, and concerned Christians are struggling to articulate their position on the issue with clarity.
This is a must-read for any Christian desiring to be “in the world and not of the world,” as it ably defends the standard of God’s Word with insight, compassion, and grace.

I’m a little disappointed. I don’t feel as though there was a definite answer given. The speaker didn’t say yes you go so you don’t offend or no you don’t go bcuz you don’t want to give the wrong thinking????? What’s the answer?
Hi Linda,
Sam cautions the believer not to attend a same-sex marriage, since it is often seen as an endorsement. However, the emphasis of this video is to also focus on communicating to the person who invited you in a loving way, so that you can deepen and preserve your relationship, rather than seeming offensive and cutting ties. It’s certainly a complicated issue that brings about varied Christian responses.
I hope this helps!
