“Wanting Christianity, but not without sexual expression.” “Rejoice, inasmuch as you are partakers of Christ’s sufferings” (1 Peter 4:13). Have you noticed that today we have a score of men and women willing to be forgiven but not obedient? The root of this tragedy just may be that there are believers… and then there are […]

It has been and remains a journey I never expected to take… Christian perfection has never been, nor will it ever be human perfection. Christian perfection is that state of being in a real relationship with God which then manifests itself among the many twists and turns of life and certainly the many irrelevancies of […]

I may never fully understand why God chose to write my story this way… My decision to leave ‘gay’ and all that it seemingly promised but never delivered, was made as quietly and uneventfully as my decision to enter it had been. The month of June is now celebrated by many individuals and churches that […]

“There’s something I need to tell you…I’m gay.” These are hard words to hear from a beloved family member. But as hard as they are to hear, they are usually just as hard for the same-sex attracted person to utter. No matter the relationship – parent, child, grandparent, spouse, sibling – that admission will likely […]

“I did not become a Christian to leave homosexuality.” I became a Christian very late in life, and as a result, I came to Christ with a whole lot of excess baggage. You know, stuff! Not unlike a multitude of others, I thought (at least to a degree), that a lot of my “stuff” would […]

So grateful for friend and pastor, Pastor Brandon Holthaus. The Oxford American Dictionary defines “silence” as, “absence of sound; avoidance or absence of speaking or of making a sound; the fact of not mentioning something.” Today, while a segment of the Church continues to consciously and deliberately avoid the subject of homosexuality, God, however, is […]

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 […]

No one hates the LGBT community more than the devil. John 10:10 says, “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life and have it to the full.” God is the God of all creation, and the devil does not have the power to destroy the […]

How can we be Overcomers (Rev. 12:11) if there isn’t anything to overcome? “And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.” (Romans 12:2) But, practically speaking, how is […]

“It is better to be divided by truth than united in error.” – Adrian Rogers Many people try to excuse their sin by saying, “I was born this way.” Which is why Jesus said, “You must be born again” (John 3:3). Dr. Robert L. Spitzer, who passed away on December 25, 2015, at the age […]
