An effective church should have all types of sexual sinners!

An effective church should have people struggling with all types of sexual sins! Because
of the love of Christ, the church should pursue
all sexual sinners. And through its exaltation of Christ in
preaching, corporate prayer and worship, the church
should attract all types of sexual sinners. It should minister the Word
to those who are already in church by flushing out the
self-deceived, exposing the dishonest, confronting the
rebel, offering forgiveness to the guilt-ridden, and giving
hope. The church should also welcome and hold the
attention of those who struggle with sexual sin but
have never been part of the church. With such people we
can add that the church should minister by surprising
them with love, a sense of family, and the absence of self-righteous
judgment. It should offer truth in such a way
that it is convicting, attractive, and radically different
from anything else the sexual sinner has ever heard. --adapted from Ed Welch
