“t’s really an encouragement of discipleship, it looks like anything else that we’re offering to anyone else, any other person struggling with any other issue in their life.”

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

That’s good news and the church should offer it wholeheartedly to anyone.

In all caps PERMANENT – reduction of their same-sex attraction.

Well, I find it interesting first that this all centers around the issue of homosexuality and we don’t bring in any other sin issue into the picture.

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.

Quite possibly there would be no other human beings left to be concerned about anything else.

You always know when you’re going to arrive. If you go by car, you don’t. Apart from anything else, I prefer cycling. It puts you in a good mood, I find.

What intrigued me more than anything else was finding out the way in which everything, all of creation.

I don’t believe there’s anything in life you can’t go back and fix.

After a while I started to think of that as an image of something that went a lot deeper than the dead dog, which is you can’t bring back anything to life.

The one hour live debate in the West Wing that we did was one of the most exciting times for me on stage or on camera, because anything could go wrong.

I have always had this mentality because I hated to break anything on the car.

We should not feel embarrassed by our difficulties, only by our failure to grow anything beautiful from them.
