It is a popular fad nowadays for preachers and pastors to claim how many homosexual friends they have around them. This is to show how gracious they are, how open minded they are willing to be. Some made a practice of their ministry, showing the world what a peacemaker they are that you can find very few if not hardly any enemies against them.
To this, my response is Matthew 10:25: It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them of his household?
Jesus didn't suffer for us to become successful peacemakers. He suffered for us to be courageous peacemakers.
