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 [...]

People with Same Sex Attraction Tortured and Murdered Abroad

April 23, 2009

I honestly don’t understand these cultures and how anyone can justify this behavior toward people with same sex attractions. I literally wept when I read about the anal torture and the young boy who was hanged. Alan, some of our staff at Exodus and I have been thinking and praying about what can be done and the best way to do it (public, private, personal, organizationally, with other organizations … lots of factors.)

Day of Truth Receiving A Lot of Media Attention

April 16, 2009

… I hope they will talk about how everyone needs to be empowered with more information, not less. I hope they will talk about every person’s right to determine his own course in life. I hope they will talk about how to show compassion to their gay and lesbian peers. I hope they will talk about the thousands of men and women, like me, who are living beyond the gay life we once thought was our only future. It’s a conversation I wish I could have had back then. …

Schmierer, who attended the Uganda conference, for his effort to convey
an “alternative message that encompasses a compassionate, biblical view

Dennis Jernigan = Awesomeness

January 9, 2009

Today I had lunch with Alan and Dennis Jernigan. I’ve hung out with Dennis before but in 1992 I went to see him in concert. The notable part of that, for me, is that I was *highly* skeptical of his testimony of having left a homosexual background. It was the first “Christian” concert I had [...]
