Of course all the following is submitted as my own hopefully humble opinion.
“Can a gay Christian be really saved?” is like someone asking you, “Is so and so REALLY saved? Is Randy Thomas REALLY saved?” They can give you there opinion but in the end it’s between God and I and whether I have truly [...]

Prop 8 Traumatic Stress Disorder

May 26, 2009

My friend and colleague Jeff Buchanan writes from a unique and interesting perspective about Prop 8 for Charisma Magazine Online. From Prop 8 Traumatic Stress Disorder:

The interesting thing about fear is that it desensitizes us to the needs of others by causing us to be preoccupied with our own concerns. When the church does [...]

Does Confronting Insensitive Christian Friends = Compromise? – Ask It Basket

May 1, 2009

A facebook friend sent me the following message (my response after the jump):
I am starting to be bothered more and more by the amount of what some
people would classify as homophobic comments coming from my Christian
peers. I would classify at least some of it more charitably as
unthinking comments (ie, the traditional 'that's gay'). But also [...]

Open Minded Doesn’t Always Equate to Wisdom

February 16, 2009

I started writing this in my journal not so long ago. Hope it makes sense.

Just because we can perceive most or all angles to a situation doesn’t make us “open minded.”
Just because we can analyze different perspectives doesn’t make us wise.

Perceiving the angles and analyzing different perspectives does bring a level of knowledge. [...]

The Trials of Ted Haggard

February 13, 2009

Ted stated near the end of the documentary:
At this stage of my life I am a loser, a first class loser.
I finally got to watch the documentary and have to admit I am deeply moved for Pastor Haggard. His progression downward into anger and bitterness toward his church wasn’t nearly as awful as some [...]

Semi Long Term Conflict Resolution – A Personal Reflection

February 11, 2009

It would seem that not only is life full of ups and downs … sometimes those ups and downs come out of nowhere. Sometimes conflict comes that I didn’t ask for, don’t quite understand but the consequences can be exasperating and serious.

Something like that happened recently with a friend who was angry with another [...]

Josh Glaser on CBN

January 30, 2009

Friend and co-laborer in the post-gay movement, Josh Glaser, appears on CBN.
Josh Glaser of Regeneration Ministries says it’s important for Christians to “listen well” to those, like Haggard, who say they are struggling with sexual sin.

He warns, though, that change won’t happen overnight and the door must remain open for communication.

“Be an advocate for them,” [...]

Oprah & Pelosi Highlight Haggard

January 28, 2009

I watched the Oprah show featuring Ted this afternoon. Before I get to that here is a very interesting quote from Pelosi who created the documentary being aired tomorrow. Pelosi states…
I’m not a really religious person. We consider ourselves to be Catholics, but we think of it more as a cultural thing. But [...]
