“It’s about pursuing a relationship with Christ.”

Through biblical community in their local church, through honesty and transparency, sharing what it is that troubles them, being accountable.

I am pursuing Christ wholeheartedly 100 percent. I don’t need a theologian or a set of man-made beliefs to guide me in my daily life.

For other people who are involved in unrepentant sin whether it’s the sin of homosexual sexual expression or gluttony or pride or heterosexual sexual expression outside of a monogamous heterosexual marriage.

I think we as believers can be secure in our relationship with Christ. I’m not saying that sin isn’t sin.

The ones that are running rampant within our churches largely go unaddressed.

I can attest to the fact that sexual orientation is not immutable and I urge the city council to vote no on this amendment.

Would Rob Gagnon and other people make as big a deal about that as they are with this? I don’t think so.

I think we can all use a little bit of counseling on planet earth today. But when it comes to reparative therapy.

Issues of pride and judgment and gossip and slander and other types of sexual immorality, gluttony, you name it.

There wasn’t reparative therapy in Corinth. So in this passage I think people came to Christ and experienced a new life in him apart from the therapeutic process.

Or any other thing – are those people in danger of losing their salvation over those issues?

Satan, the enemy is using people to further his agenda to destroy the Kingdom of God and as many souls as he can.

But it doesn’t say anywhere in that passage that the people didn’t still struggle with temptation or that they never fell prey to that sin again whether it was the issue of homosexuality or any of the other things that are listed there.

I’m grateful for people’s opinions but I choose to surrender and to serve Christ and Christ alone and in that my life has changed.

I think we have to do a better job than we’ve done. So I do think there is, people rush to judgment and rush to clarify their point on this issue in ways that they don’t’ rush to judgment and to clarity on other issues.

That, I think, sets people up for unrealistic expectations and is something that I’m not willing to offer when we’re sharing these types of messages or presenting what was presented to me.

This is the church’s job. This is who we are as the body of Christ to reach out to people who are in need, who are struggling.

What I know about my relationship with Christ is that as a believer.

I know Christ. And that is secure. And I think that is something that actually helps believers pursue his holiness.

So to pick and choose that once you come to Christ you’re never going to struggle in those areas again or never fall prey to stumbling in those ways again, I just, I don’t think we can assure that.

But we will encourage the church to do that in general for anyone and everyone who’s seeking to be a mature believer in Christ.

My ordination in the Church of God in Christ was at age 9, and I later became a Baptist minister, which I am today.

The only reason that Jews are in pornography is that we think that Christ sucks. Catholicism sucks.

I am indebted to [my grandmothers] always for cradling me in the heart of Christ and encouraging my passion to press towards the mark of the high calling on my life, wherever that takes me.
