Dear Linda God gave you to your children and He gave them to you . Please don't push them away from you , remember that people do change and don't give up on your kids . Look back at your own life and see how much you have changed over the years , I bet you are not the same person that you were five , ten , fifteen years ago . Be patient , pray for them and be a good example to them without being their harshest critic ,you may be Christian but you are also a Mom and your children are God given . You can be both , God knows your heart and your love for your children , He loves them and you and has put you all together for a reason . Just try to be the best Christian and the best Mom , I know you can do that and so does God .

Hi Linda, If it were my children, I would say that I do not accept their orientation as being godly and that it is a serious sin. God hates it. I would also I love them very much, but I love God above all and will reflect His thoughts on this matter. I would tell them that I will call them by their given birth name and according to their biological sex, as that honors how God chose to make them as a male of female according to their DNA.

This would be difficult to come to say to those we love, but we must stand for God and be willing to lose these people from our lives if our stand turns them from us. They are already out of fellowship with God and we are perhaps the one they will turn to with honest spiritual questions one day. We cannot have compromise ruin our witness and veracity of God's claims.

I have had to have difficult conversations like this with my sister who is lesbian. Two of my other sisters also are lesbian. They have never wanted to speak to me concerning this. But my one sister did, and I was candid and honest. She respected that and we have a somewhat better relationship since we had a chance to discuss these matters at her initiative.

Since these people in your family have let you know their orientation and preferences, the door is now open for you to speak freely to them. I suggest you seek the Lord's guidance so He will give you the words you are to say to them.
