“I’m not saying that people should live in unrepentant sin. I’m not saying that that’s a mark of a mature believer at all.”

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.

I’m looking at offering biblical holiness, not an unrealistic expectation for people that will leave them disappointed.

But to say that people who have same-sex attractions are the only group of people who need to go to a therapist to completely resolve those attractions isn’t something I find biblically accurate.

One day, though, I realized I was no longer a believer, and realizing that, I couldn’t go back.

I’m not a believer in luck, but I do believe you need it.

As an atheist, I think there are lots of things religions get up to which are of value to non-believers – and one of those things is trying to be a bit better than we normally manage to be.

A believer is someone who senses a consciousness or a direction and believes in it. The one who searches for meaning has not found the direction yet.

Believers in political faith-healing enjoy a supreme immunity from doubt.

I settled down in the full persuasion, that the immersion of a professing believer in Christ is the only Christian baptism.

Whenever, in any century, whether in a single heart or in a company of believers.

It is only in times of great and grievous dullness that the believer regards prayer as a duty, and not as a privilege.
