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

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.

I think, again, if someone wants to know what I believe then look at my life.

Someone’s always calling for my resignation. It’s nothing new.

I think it’s hypocritical and inconsistent for us to attack this one group of people over any other group of people that are within our churches today.

Let me be clear that I’m not God so I can’t tell you who is and isn’t going to heaven.

I am opposed to special rights for gays just as I am opposed to special rights for heterosexuals or smokers.

Now on to reparative therapy, I think counseling is a wonderful tool for anybody regardless of what struggle they bring to the table.

Within the membership we have 270 or so members within the network of Exodus whether that’s a local member ministry, a counselor or one of our members of our church association.

It’s something that’s been part of my tenure at Exodus over the last decade plus.

When I said on national television I still struggle.

It says in this world you will have trouble in John 16:33 but take heart you can have peace in me because I’ve overcome the world.

I believe in sanctification at the point of salvation. That doesn’t mean that we don’t continue to mature as believers in Christ. But I believe that we are justified and we are sanctified.

The point that I’m trying to make is that we as believers can have security in Christ when we are believers.

For some that will mean getting the help or expertise of a counselor that can help them walk through and navigate through some of the traumatic things that they’ve been through in their life.

I’ll be very glad to tell them what my faults and my weaknesses are and the areas that I pray about in my life every day.

But when it comes to someone pointing to this passage and saying homosexuals changed, well, I’m not sure that’s what that passage is referring to.

Hamas is responsible and Hamas should held accountable for civilian deaths.

And gradually they’re beginning to recognize the fact that there’s nothing more secure than a democratic, accountable, and participatory form of government. But it’s sunk in only theoretically, it has not yet sunk in completely in practical terms.

Hold everybody accountable? Ridiculous!

In millions of encounters each year between the police and the public, it may be too much to expect that every officer will always get it right. But it is not too much to expect that we can put the right safeguards in place to hold officers accountable when they get it wrong.

I repeat… that all power is a trust; that we are accountable for its exercise; that from the people and for the people all springs, and all must exist.

Find a partner, commit to taking action, and hold each other accountable.

My Dear Son… remember that you are accountable to your Maker for all your words and actions.

I like being responsible for myself.
