“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.”

We will all struggle, we will all fall prey to some type of sin, some will fall prey to the same types of sin over and over again.

And that’s a wonderful thing and that’s what we will always offer at Exodus.

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.

You will be that inevitably–but primarily we are saved in order to be conformed to the likeness of Jesus Christ, God’s Son.

Lay the ax to the root of the tree, and the capacity for Jesus Christ will be increased tomorrow.

There’s some task which the God of all the universe, the great Creator, your redeemer in Jesus Christ has for you to do.

First of all, it has gone past God and past Christ right through to me. If it has come that far.

There is no circumstance, no trouble, no testing, that can ever touch me until, first of all, it has gone past God and past Christ, right through to me.

Scripture is so counter culture. Christ was counter culture. It’s not like we’re supposed to be weird or anything, but as we grow closer to Christ.

He deeper and more staggering can be his collapse. There is never a day in any man’s life but that he is dependent upon the grace of God for power and the blood of Jesus for cleansing.

I am eternally secure. I gave my heart to Christ and that gift of salvation is irrevocable.
