[Berardan]

I love all of my grandchildren intensely. My 23-year-old agnostic grandson admitted to me that he is "gay and attracted to men," which is clearly prohibited in Scripture. This was at a family gathering with my daughter (his mom), his sister and two of his three brothers, all of whom have already known about my grandson's "preferences" for at least a year but never told me out of respect to him. His mom and siblings there are all believers in Jesus, and they were all able to hear my grandson's statement to me. When he told me, at first I thought he was joking. So, my first response was "ha, you'd better NOT be!" But when I noticed that no one was laughing, I asked him "wait a minute... are you serious?" in a very calm but surprised yet non-judgmental tone. He said, rather matter-of-factly with a little pride thrown in, "oh yes, I like guys." My response was simply "well, just always remember that I love you forever, no matter what" and we hugged. His admission REALLY caught me by surprise. My grandson is an avid gun and target-shooting hobbyist, and he has never looked, dressed or acted like anything except a normal boy, and now, young man, that I have ever seen. His admission is breaking my heart, though, because (1) he's not saved, and (2) he's WAY off the mark as far as what God's Word says about a homosexual's eternal future. Ant ideas about how I should pray for him (probably first order of business), how I should approach him to witness to him (probably second), AND to discuss God's stated feelings about homosexuality (probably third)?

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
