If I were an individual self-identifying as a ‘gay Christian,’ I would at some point in all honesty and truth need to truly face myself and ask, “Am I more gay or am I more Christian?” Having a different point of view, a different understanding and belief, or deeply held conviction never has nor will […]

Today a relentless and often misguided focus of LGBTQ activists on being an ally in support of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning individuals due to bigotry, malice, ignorance and mean-spirited jokes often perpetrated against the LGBTQ community continues. I once sat on the receiving end of being clobbered with Scripture by well-meaning but horribly […]

Being a professing Christian who adheres to and applies the truths of Scripture to the world around us has never been easy. That said, how do we stand up to an increasingly hostile culture that demands our silence? How do we truly speak truth with love? How can a Christian relationally and effectively address our […]

An Inside View – Obedience vs. Success: Healing does not, nor has it ever meant an absence of struggle. Many, many years ago, at the very beginning of my discipleship, I hit a major wall.

With the holidays fast approaching, at the next Straight Talk, October 4, 2026 beginning at 8:00am… While the details of your situation may be different, I’ll bet your family and mine have a lot in common, which is why I can say I’ve been there.

The dam has burst, endeavoring to submerge basic Christian morality and ethics. At His Way Out Ministries/Rock Harbor Church we do not merely curse the darkness; we remain purposed to equip Christians in the art and science of conducting difficult discussions wielding the Christ-mandated gavel of grace.
