My true identity-2

The The Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission (Southern Baptist) has highlighted the testimony of Richard Holloman. Richard is the Director of The Sight Ministry in Nashville Tennessee and is also the Exodus Regional Coordinator for the Southern Gulf region.  He's a good man, and friend, who loves the Lord. Richard has a powerful testimony. Here's an excerpt: The most important thing the Lord continues to teach me through my recovery process is that authentic Christian faith is not about law, works, flesh or self-effort but about having a personal love relationship with God.

The Hungry Beast Video on Gay/Post-gay Reality

Sennitt Family

First, here is the video. It's long (for an online video) but well done and interesting: My overall impression is that this is a very well produced video. Great camera shots, flow, narration and humanizing to all involved. The camera/editing didn't try to hide reality or characterize negatively. That said, Hadyn's testimony (the man on the post-gay journey) was interspersed in between the two gay men's testimonies (both named Anthony) at strategic points. This created an overall narrative which could leave an impression that if you don't reject a Christian post-gay approach in the … [Read more...]

Molotov Mitchell’s Videos Create Firestorm

Molotov

UPDATED with response from G-A-Y Blog at the end of the post. Molotov Mitchell is definitely making a name for himself. I met Molotov in DC in March of 2009.  He and his wife were hilarious and very personable.  I could relate to his zeal in talking about Christ but when it came to public policy ... not so much.  Granted we had some of the same ideas that certain things politically and culturally needed to be forthrightly addressed but his reasoning and approach seemed unnecessarily harsh.  I didn't say anything at the time because I just met the guy and I didn't want to jump right in … [Read more...]

Dispelling the myths about OneByOne and Exodus International

Churchandworld.com

Originally posted on Presbyweb's (also ChurchandWorld.com) Viewpoint on February 17, 2010: Dispelling the myths about OneByOne and Exodus International By Kristin J. Tremba In January of this year, Presbyterian USA pastor, Rev. Ray Bagnuolo, wrote an article called "Ex-Gay. Ex-Loving". In his article, he made some inaccurate statements about the ministry of OneByOne and other "ex-gay" misnitries, which stand to be corrected. First, OneByOne has merged with Exodus International, the nation's largest Christian referral ministry for those who struggle with unwanted same-sex … [Read more...]

The Gospel And Elton John

elton john

I've seen many gay protesters over the years hold up signs that say, "What Jesus said about homosexuality is _______." Thus inferring that He never said anything about being gay.  Not all, but a few of those same folks who seem to want to make facts out of thin air (arguing from silence in a negative sense) would probably believe, like Elton John, that Jesus was gay Himself.  From Parade.com: "I think Jesus was a compassionate, super-intelligent gay man who understood human problems. On the cross, he forgave the people who crucified him. Jesus wanted us to be loving and forgiving. I don't … [Read more...]
