Congregations never more awake during sermons
Who knew biblical times were so decadent (not to mention ruthless, carnal and violent)? Well, most people, actually.
But did you know it was possible to proudly proclaim your love for a same-sex partner then? Didn't think so.
The Jesus Metropolitan Church didn't think you did, either, but they're getting out the Good Word in a big way all around Indianapolis, Indiana with billboards proclaiming that Jesus affirmed a gay couple, David loved Jonathan "more than women" and three more fun facts.
http://wouldjesusdiscriminate.com/Even better than the billboards themselves is the fact that each one cites sources—biblical sources, no less! And you know what that means: it has to be true.

The same Hebrew word that is used in Genesis 2:24 to describe how Adam felt about Eve (and how spouses are supposed to feel toward each other) is used in Ruth 1:14 to describe how Ruth felt about Naomi. Her feelings are celebrated, not condemned.
And throughout Christian history, Ruth's vow to Naomi has been used to illustrate the nature of the marriage covenant. These words are often read at Christian wedding ceremonies and used in sermons to illustrate the ideal love that spouses should have for one another. The fact that these words were originally spoken by one woman to another tells us a lot about how God feels about same-gender relationships.
