Value Christ More Than Self

A few weeks ago, I started a bit of a storm on my Facebook page. Now, I'm no one special and so I don't have that many followers, but I posted something that led to much discussion and even some blog posts. I had recently read the story about Trey Pearson , the Christian music artist who came out of the closet as a homosexual. In the article, it mentioned that he had to come out to his wife and children and in his words, he had to be healthy to them by being true to himself. As I read the article, I saw many, many posts congratulating him on his decision, encouraging him and praising him. As I read these posts, something occurred to me: why do we praise a decision to break up a family? So I posted the following: So seriously, if a man comes out as gay and leaves his wife and children behind, he is celebrated. If a man has an adulterous relationship with another woman and leaves his wife and kids for her, he's vilified? Am I the only one who sees the disconnect?
