       We as Christian leaders cannot back down and are not going to back down on saying homosexuality is wrong, not now, fifty years from now, or a hundred years from now. God doesn’t change his Word. And hopefully we will stay true to this regardless of the consequences, whether they infringe on are own personal peace or rights to freedom. But what do we, as Christians, do about the scares and evils in our world? In its most basic sense, we are to pray. That may sound like a simple answer, but prayer can and does make a difference. The Apostle Paul gives us a good rule to go by. He said in Philippians 4:6-7: “do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus” (ESV). If you read the verse correctly, God says here that we are not to worry about anything—anything at all. This verse, undoubtedly, is very hard to comprehend in its true essence.
