“Gay” does not accurately define and depict life for many, possibly most, same-sex attracted men and women. Initially, “happy, care-free, or lighthearted” defined ‘gay’ but ultimately became a widely accepted and adopted word referencing homosexuality, especially among homosexual men. Speaking as one once a member of the gay community for 17 years, I can personally […]

Equality? How is that defined and what does that look like? What many people forget, some conveniently, with regard to homosexuality and gay rights, is that it is possible (from a Christian perspective) to disagree with homosexual practice or as some state, the gay lifestyle, and yet treat individuals with respect and dignity. Since the […]

At the next Straight Talk, Sunday, March 1st @ 8:00am… Two words! Just two words and your life is changed forever. Do you still remember when you heard those words? Was it at a family gathering? Holiday? Going for a walk? Was it by phone? Letter? Were you e-mailed? No matter where you were or […]

At a recent Straight Talk Care Group/Class Meeting, a couple (a Mom and Dad), I had never had the pleasure of meeting before attended for the first time. The Dad handed me a copy of information about Straight Talk he had downloaded from our web site and asked, “Are we in the right place for […]

In today’s relentless barrage of words, images, slogans, and ideas that assault us from all sides regarding homosexuality, some have settled for short, simple and emotion-laden, one-stop conclusions. As a result, many are now caught in a crossfire and faced with answering a critically important question, one with eternal consequences. Each individual must choose: “Will […]

When it comes to homosexuality and the many related issues, is it possible we, the Church, have been and continue to be guilty of putting ‘a cause’ before The Cross? If so, is it then possible we have abdicated our moral authority to speak to the issue of our time? Clearly, the existence and high […]

Today, the battle that rages, is not over just a person’s sexuality, but rather over which spirit will claim that person’s allegiance. There is no doubt, the cultural and political battle over homosexuality has become in many respects the defining moment for our society.

Although originally presented and filmed in 2012, my concern and message now in 2026 remains the same… “The Church remains God’s vehicle to reach wounded, broken, hurting humanity which includes the LGBTQ community.” Jesus died in the past to forgive us in the future when we repent in the present.

Just about any behavior begins to look normal if you are exposed to enough of it. Does a pedophilia agenda actually exist? It is 1981, I am living in San Francisco and very much a member of the gay community. On a Sunday afternoon, I leave my apartment and walk down Powell Street toward Market […]

When God gives crystal clear clarity of truth, His Truth, it then becomes not a question of what He will do, but of what I will do. In Genesis 18:14, we are each asked, “Is anything too hard for the Lord?” Ideally, we each would respond with a resounding “No!” especially when Jesus Himself assures […]
