Barna Study on Gay and Heterosexual Christians

June 30, 2009

I was going to skip this because there is a lot to this article and I am not a statistician. I am also losing more and more confidence that dividing people into the two all or nothing categories of “gay” and “straight” is actually accurate. I think that is a false starting point (and that [...]

Chased, Caught – Reprinting As A Father’s Day Article

June 21, 2009

I pray you all have had a good Father’s day. At church I had the fortune of seeing Alan give the Father’s day sermon. Then, I came home, called my Step-dad, and then was very purposeful to lay by or swim in the pool for at least 90 minutes. Then I just did some [...]

Alan Chambers Responds to Gay Pride Month Declaration

June 8, 2009

From Charisma Magazine Online:
Ultimately, the biggest problem I have with Obama’s proclamation is our difference of opinion on what is truly worth celebrating. I chose to leave gay life more than 18 years ago because the self-indulgent, empty pursuits I encountered there are certainly not worth commemorating. It’s the life I live now as a [...]

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 [...]

Speak For Yourself Porky – Gym Update

February 9, 2009

I love my gym.

I thought it was time for another gym update. It’s crazy busy and tonight, I don’t think I have seen that many people at the gym all at once. Seriously, tonight’s crowd even beat the first Monday after New Years. Regardless, I was able to go through and do [...]
