Each Saturday morning beginning at 7:00am (PST) on KERI 1410AM, and live streamed at www.wilkinsradio.com, His Way Out Ministries offers a 30-minute broadcast dedicated to equipping, educating, and encouraging the Body of Christ to reach out and minister to individuals, families, and churches impacted by the brokenness of same-sex attraction.

Season 3, Episode 20
Pastor Brandon Holthaus, Senior Pastor of Rock Harbor Church in Bakersfield, California joins Pastor Phillip Lee for part two of their discussion focusing on the question: When a Christian upholds the Lordship of Christ and the Authority of Scripture regarding homosexuality, isn’t that “protecting God’s character and the authority of His Word?”

“Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness.” (Isaiah 5:20)

Today, especially in America, little is being offered which promotes the truth about homosexuality with the general public and the Church believing the many untruths and inaccuracies being offered. This did not happen by accident. This has been and continues to be a well-crafted strategic plan.

Phase One: Get society and the Church to ‘accept’ the falsehood that someone can be a gay Christian (it’s ok to practice homosexuality) which will then set the stage for the transition to Phase Two.

Phase Two: Revise Scripture to endorse and validate the homosexual disposition and agenda.

Hence, pro-gay theology: “the abandonment of Scriptural truth; scientific information, social changes, and personal experience become the cornerstone of how ‘truth’ is determined.”

For homosexual practice to be seen as acceptable and created by God, historic and traditional Christian teaching had to be discredited.

Phase Three: Since it’s ok to be a gay Christian (according to pro-gay theology), then God Himself supports, approves and validates homosexuality and same-sex marriage.

Herein lies the true problem (crisis). No where in the Bible does any Scripture, not one, approve of or support the notion or concept of gay Christian or same-sex relationships. Every time Scripture mentions homosexual practice it is always, without exception, mentioned in the context of a behavior in which no man or woman is to practice – not unlike many other behaviors.

The Church cannot ‘welcome and affirm’ what God Himself never affirms. Yes, Jesus welcomed and loved every person but He never, ever affirmed their sin – not once.

That said, permit me to take this another direction for a moment.

It is long overdue for many, including homosexual strugglers, to stop singling out homosexuality as the worst of all sins.

Today, many view the person engaged in homosexual acts to be unsaved. Why are not the same assumptions made, at least with the same rigor and emphasis, regarding other sins such as: fornication (pre-marital sex), idolatry, adultery, thievery, covetousness, alcoholism, slander, and deceit. An end must come to declaring those guilty of pre-marital sex as just, well, “disobedient Christians,” while declaring homosexuals definitely non-Christians.

As Christians, our relationship with God through Christ is the cornerstone of our identity.

Today, many are being told, “Accept yourself and follow your heart.”
However, Jesus says, “Deny yourself and follow Me.”

“By this we know that we have come to know Him, if we keep His commandments. The one who says, ‘I have come to know Him,’ and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him; but whoever keeps His word, in him the love of God has truly been perfected. By this we know that we are in Him; the one who says he abides in Him ought himself to walk in the same manner as He walked.” (1 John 2:3-6)

The ‘gay Christian’ identity does not exist in the Kingdom of God.

“Concerns About the Revoice Conference” is a must view and listen by friend and ministry partner, Dr. Michael Brown. Dr. Brown offers and puts in crystal clarity where we are today with regard to “Gay Christian?, Pro-Gay Theology, etc.”

The video is a must watch for anyone and everyone concerned about the many misguided attempts to revise sexual morality.

What about those who are practicing gays or lesbians yet proclaim Christ? Did God really make some straight and some gay? What exactly does it mean for any of us to proclaim, “I am a Christian”?

California has proposed a new law that would make counseling services, conferences, books, and resources that seek “to change an individual’s sexual orientation… [including] efforts to change behaviors or gender expression, or to eliminate or reduce sexual or romantic attractions or feelings toward individuals of the same sex” would no longer be available for purchase in the state of California. The bill, AB2943, seeks to declare as fraud any good or service that suggests sexual orientation can change. 

In a new book by Ken Williams and Elizabeth Woning, Co-Founders of Equipped To Love, 37 men and women offer their stories on behalf of Californians to protect their rights to live according to their personal convictions.

There are few safe places for those who once identified as gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender or queer/questioning to publicly share their experiences of leaving homosexuality. Many who were contacted were unwilling to make their stories public due to the intense efforts some take to publicly shame them.

by Pastor Phillip Lee
No one chooses to be gay

I have heard, and continue to hear, the above-mentioned statement on a frequent basis. Each and every time, I wonder, “Do they really understand what they are stating?”

The statement, I believe, needs some fleshing-out and clarification because it is often completely misunderstood and misused.

At the age of 13 years old, I became acutely aware of my same-sex attraction. However, it was not until many, many years later I embraced, decided, and clothed myself in what many refer to as “the gay-identity.”

Let me say it this way, “Homosexual tendencies are discovered but the gay-identity is chosen and decided upon.”

The two are worlds apart and dramatically different.

Previously gay-identified men and women, that now have new lives in Christ, know exactly what I am talking about.

Thirty-three years ago, surrendering my life (which included my sexuality to Christ Jesus), in church for the first time in my life and constantly having my nose buried in God’s Word, homosexual practice no longer was an option or a desire.

But, what to do about the gay-identity factor?

“You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; and to be made new in the attitude of your mind.” (Ephesians 4:22-24)

“And this is what some of you were.” (1 Corinthians 6:11)

Once again, a choice was before me.

Would I continue to allow feelings, emotions and personal experience dictate my identity or embrace the Lordship of Christ and the Authority of Scripture to define my true identity?

Well, here we are 33 years down the road and I have never, ever regretted my decision to follow Christ and the truth of whom He says I am.
