I don't know Josh and couldn't know the true state of his heart toward Christ even if I did, but his ongoing hypocrisy depicts a colossal disconnect between his profession of faith and the life he actually leads.
Before I put in my two cents concerning the rich blessing God has given us in Christian community, I want to share a couple of thoughts from two of the greatest minds to have blessed the Church in the last century.
Christendom is over. And it's vital that we, followers of Jesus, acclimate to our new, humanistic, and religiously skeptical environment if we desire to be effective witnesses for the gospel.
It seems the rebuttal-topic-of-choice I most often encounter in talking with unbelievers about the gospel is the Church's inconsistency when it comes to what the Bible says and what we actually practice. You know, the whole "picking and choosing" thi..
From my adolescent years of struggling secretly with same sex attraction to my young adult years of unashamedly embracing my same sex desires, the only message I heard from the Church was, "Come to Jesus and he'll make you straight."
This is the first of a six part blog series in which I am carefully going to attempt to graciously point out some of the major ways that I believe the Church in America has dropped the ball in its interaction with the gay community.
Over the last few days a disturbing video has surfaced onto the Internet. It shows a young boy, no older than twelve, dancing in a disturbing, provocative manner at a gay pride parade in Brazil.
Not many people can say that they've been where you are, but I honestly can. The way you feel right now as your private life and sins are being tossed onto the world's stage – I know it well.
If there's one thing I've learned in my first five years of knowing the Lord Jesus Christ, it's that everything within the natural, fleshly part of myself violently resists his good rule over my life.
I started writing this column a little over four years ago and from day one the comments section has pretty much been a three-ring circus. Belittlement, narrow-mindedness, attacks on character, and blame for all the world problems have been shot back..
If we are going to call gay people to step away from their folly and toward the Lord, and therefore into our churches, we better be sure that we are wiling to repent as well. "Of what?" you might ask.
The foundation for my position was the catchy "you can't legislate morality" line. And this is true – you can't legislate morality. Christians can't force-feed our beliefs about sexuality or marriage down unbelieving throats. We can't make disciples ..
As I listened to Bruce Jenner recollect a lifelong struggle with his gender identity in his exclusive interview with Diane Sawyer, I experienced an array of emotions.
To the gay or lesbian person perhaps begrudgingly reading this blog, I get it. I understand why you may be hesitant to look into Christianity because you doubt you could ever be able to feel legitimate, unforced, naturally flowing heterosexual desire..
Yesterday I became aware of President Obama's push to ban gay conversion therapy for minors. Not long after reading Obama's remarks, my social media newsfeeds began to fill with more support for this ban from Alan Chambers, the former president of Ex..
This is happening all over the place, isn't it? Just yesterday I ran across an article in The Christian Post about San Franciso largest evangelical church now allowing non-celibate homosexuals to be members.
Today's question is; "Is sex a human right?"
Today's question is, "Should Christians attend the gay marriage ceremonies of their loved ones?"
"What would you say to a man who wants to leave his wife to pursue a homosexual relationship?"
I have at least a dozen friends whose Christian kids, mostly sons, have come out to them in the past 18 months. For the church to tell a 16-year-old that "God's will" is a life void of romance is a tough message to communicate. What's your answer?
