LGBTQ Stays Outside

"LGBTQ Stay Outside"

The core message of the gospel is inclusion.

When exclusion is exercised, it violates this gospel.

That’s when we start redefining what “core message”, “gospel”, and “inclusion” really mean.

Then we deteriorate into word games that actually commit violence against certain groups of people.

Those claiming to preach and exemplify the gospel become those the gospel came to challenge and break open.
