About this listen

More people are LGBT than ever before—including in the churches. Gay acceptance is now an issue in historically conservative congregations. Christians must face the Biblical and pastoral implications. How does the Gospel answer the gay challenge to the church?

In this challenging and helpful book, Presbyterian Pastor Shawn Mathis calls the church to take this moral crisis head-on. He faces hard facts that many Christians are afraid to face. He focuses on those who confess LGBT attractions and want to be an active part or a leader in the church. He ties all of this to the duty of mortification and provides an outline of how a faithful church can respond to this pressing issue.

Shawn Mathis served in the Air Force and worked as an electrical engineer before ministering at Providence Orthodox Presbyterian Church in Denver in 2006. He is passionate about applying biblical truth to the pressing concerns of today's Christians. His writings are at PastorMathis.com and social media.

"Weak pastors, some of whom are wolves, are commandeering evangelicalism today, and many of us wonder how this happened so fast. Churches can’t major on the majors because the ABCs of the Christian faith have been replaced by LGBTQ+. Slogans replace doctrine, and category mistakes replace trusted catechisms. Seemingly gone are the days when born-again Christians, new creatures in Christ, live in the victory of deliverance from sin. The reigning idol of our land–LGBTQ+--demands the church bend the knee. Enter Pastor Shawn Mathis’s book, Is the Church Pro-Gay? Pastor Mathis shows how in recent decades “winsome” slogans replaced the sacred and powerful Word, the means of grace, the love of the church, and the hope of the Gospel. His critiques are incisive and necessary.

"Pastor Mathis’s treatise on concupiscence, mortification of homosexual sin, cultivation of heterosexuality and biblical marriage, and other politically incorrect virtues is pure gold. But the heart of this book is the heart of the pastor who defends his flock. He exposes as rank heresy the reigning idea that “being LGBTQ+” isn’t morally culpable if you aren’t having sex and rightly calls out anyone who would believe this is conservative, theologically biblical, or even logical. Christian readers will come away from this book emboldened, thinking “on the one hand, yes, the evangelical church is pro-gay, and on the other, not on my watch will this heresy be allowed to proliferate”. This book is dedicated to the children of this faithful pastor’s church. May the wolves read that and be put on notice. This book is a must-read."—Dr. Rosaria Butterfield, Author, The Secret Thoughts of an Unlikely Convert
