A fellow blogger believes I am a coward. According to this name-calling, bomb-lobbing sister-in-Christ I am, as she so elegantly phrased it, “a coward for the Lord.” Apparently because Jesus called the Jewish leadership ‘hypocrite’, ‘den of vipers’, ‘white washed sepulchers of death full of dead men’s bones’, ‘liars’, ‘completely evil’, ‘dunces’ etc, Christians conducting…
I saw the caption “Pentagon Taps Anti-Christian Extremist for Religious Tolerance Policy” while scanning through headlines this week. Then I read the article. It is an outrage. Here’s the gist: Mikey Weinstein is going to consult with the Pentagon on religious policies, including a policy for court-martialing military chaplains who share the gospel during spiritual counseling of…
“Gay marriage is a lie.” “Fighting for gay marriage generally involves lying about what we’re going to do with marriage when we get there.” “It’s a no-brainer that the institution of marriage should not exist.” You may have missed the story of prominent gay activist Masha Gessen’s surprisingly honest speech on the real goal behind her…
So back to the three sweet girls I mentioned in my last post. They asked me to state in two minutes my case for traditional marriage. Here it is: Millennials, if any generation understands the pain of fragmented family, it is you. Never before has our nation witnessed more children who are growing up outside…
I had a conversation with three of my favorite Millennials yesterday. What began as a chat about youth group dynamics ended up on the subject of gay marriage. They had met a girl who couldn’t consider Christianity because “the church is against gay marriage” and therefore the church “hates gays.” They talked about how in…
Have you ever been told that if God wants you to do something, then He will “open a door”? I totally used to buy that. Especially because when I prayed about a problem, it was often along the lines of, “Hey God, I already know what I’d like to do, but I need to check…
I forwarded “My Interview with a “Not Ex-Lesbian” Child of God,” to man at our church who identifies as a gay Christian. He came out to my husband and me a couple years ago and is one of our dear friends. While we chatted on Sunday, he shared that he too desires to make church…
Several months ago, I invited my friend to write a post on how the church can encourage those who experience same-sex attraction. This weekend she allowed me to ask her a few questions. Here is a portion of our interview: How do you self-identify? I identify as a child of God. I do not identify…
Public opinion has changed rapidly regarding gay marriage as evidenced in this Pew Research study. The continued glorification and normalization of gay relationships and parenting within media is likely to continue, and with our culture’s propensity to be shaped by those compelling (though not wholly realistic) images and stories, I think it is probable…
In response to “Is being gay a sin?” lcamyopinion writes: I am trying to get you, rather than make judgments about my gay friends, to walk in their shoes. …You condemn them to a life of being alone. If they pursue their love you call it evil. You would prevent them from forming families of…
