NPR shared this link. My comment on their thread: There are many of us (Christians who understand that neither homosexual behavior nor gay marriage is condoned by God) who are joyfully setting a place at our Thanksgiving table for our family and friends who are gay. You will not hear their thoughtful, biblical, and informed…
I have scrolled through your bio on Wikipedia and I am too young to remember the bulk of your personal achievements- your accomplishments are many and impressive. A presidential bid, the founding of several respected Christian organizations, your funding of higher education, The 700 Club. (I have never actually seen this show myself but I…
Have you ever tried to straddle a fence that was just an inch too high? If not, you can imagine that it’s an exceptionally uncomfortable position. The tendency is to jump from one foot to the other, rather than stand on tippy-toe with weight evenly divided on both sides. That is the picture in my…
LIE. Truth? This student was kicked out after violating the code of ethics as stated in the student handbook. A code to which she and all students pledge to follow, and publicly proclaimed so with their signature, before attending their first class. Danielle Powell was expelled in 2011 after she began a relationship with another…
I often hear gay marriage supporters speak of how the “benefits” of marriage should be extended to all. And to some extent, I agree. I support legislation that would allow hospital visitations, property arrangements, end-of-life decisions, etc. to be equally applied to same-sex couples.

That’s the ringer from a recent Australian pro-gay marriage ad campaign. Father and mother watch the ultrasound screen as the tech tells them “what they’re having.” The commercial concludes with “Any child can be born gay. So marriage equality is every family’s issue.” “Being gay or lesbian is not a choice… it has nothing to…
Today, the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) vote on an amended policy for member participation. After reading their proposed resolution, I am surprised to find myself whole-heartedly supporting their position. The current policy for members does not allow youth who vocalize their same-sex attraction to participate in scouting. This is how things would change: No…
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…
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…
