In other words, how good we are at avoiding sin has zero connection with our being saved. This trend was noticeable not just in one denomination, but across Baptist, Catholic, Pentecostal, and many other churches. There’s a huge difference is struggling with sin, and flat out denying that God hates sin to the point of saying it’s what God wants.
Our call is to embody love and hope rather than exclusion and judgment.
Contrarily, this doesn’t imply that all paths are equal or that morality has no place in faith. Upon understanding the true essence of the gospel - that our righteousness comes from Jesus' actions, not our own - Mike was inspired to liberate believers from lifeless sermons and reconnect them with the genuine teachings of Jesus.
Boastful? Instead, we should recognize that every individual is in need of God’s grace. These communities maintain that faith in God, a relationship with Christ, and a commitment to a life of compassion and justice are what truly matter for salvation, rather than one’s sexual orientation.
Many LGBTQ+ Christians have found welcoming and supportive communities within affirming churches, where they are encouraged to embrace their sexual identity while deepening their faith.
1 John 4:7 encourages us to love one another because love is from God. Viewing each person as God does will help us see beyond their choices toward the grace available in Christ.
Moreover, God’s mercy is unfathomable as we see in Psalm 103:12, stating that as far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us.
And if our heart is to get others to walk in the Spirit and live a godly life, then the best approach is not a beat down sermon, but rather to remind other that it is only when we understand our true identity in Christ that we will live it out. It’s not our actions alone that determine our salvation, but rather our faith in Jesus Christ.
It turns out that it is grace that leads to repentance.

Mike Cynar was raised in a church setting where he frequently noticed that many attendees would eventually drift away. Many have struggled with reconciling their faith and their sexual identity, often facing rejection or discrimination from their religious communities. It’s crucial to view others through the lens of God’s love rather than focusing solely on rules.
One fundamental point to remember is that our sins do not determine our access to God.
The apostle Paul emphasizes in 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 that many who practiced sins, including sexual immorality, were washed, sanctified, and justified in the name of Jesus Christ. To their own master, they stand or fall—and they will stand, for the Lord is able to make them stand. We can be assured that harboring faith in Jesus, even amidst struggles with sin, does not disqualify anyone from experiencing His grace and entering His presence.
In conclusion, our hearts and attitudes form the foundation for how we respond to those who are different from us.
And thus, "Jesus Without Religion" was born. It’s about our identity.
