Respectfully, truth, God’s truth does not change just because you did. • You told me I needed to surrender my life to Christ Jesus and be born-again. I surrendered. • You told me I needed to forsake and repent of homosexual practice. I repented. I turned away. • You told me my mind needed renewing […]

When you and I became a Christian, we began a transformation process not just of what we disapprove, but also of how we disapprove. The disapproval of any particular behavior including same-sex practice(s) does not particularly identify one as Christian. Being a Christian is far more profound than changing and voicing what we disapprove of. […]

“I am a gay Christian” (Error is never made true by its popularity). Try and try as I have to get my head, heart, and spirit fully around the above statement, I cannot. I cannot because it does not make sense. If, within the statement, one is saying, “I am a Christian that struggles with […]

LGBT+ concerns and the church have become muddied over the years. We seem afraid to lift up Jesus, His love and how it changes ANY of our lives.

Many years ago, Rev. Franklin Graham rallied the Church to Washington DC believing the Church should lead the way in ministering and meeting the needs of those impacted by HIV/AIDS.

There are those that have stripped the truth away from grace creating a perversion of God’s person and plan for humanity. As a result, we now live in an age of reckless sexuality with raging political, economic, and theological currents that threaten to submerge the Church today. The Church fit to respond with grace and […]
