On June 27, 2010, Pentecostal Evangel will feature the testimony of Lois DeLong in Kentucky and also has some input from Alan Chambers:
…Exodus International (is) a network of 235 ministries in North American and 50 other affiliates around the world. Its U.S. affiliates included 130 members of the Exodus Church Association which has 14 AG congregations as representatives.
by contrast, there are thousands of pro-homosexual organizations. One well-funded group focuses on changing the church’s view of homosexuality to one of acceptance.
These realities make it all the more important that evangelicals maintain a biblically faithful stance, says Exodus President Alan Chambers.
He says such verses as Romans 1:26-28, 1 Corinthians 6:9,10 and Titus 3:3-7 apply to discussions of same-sex relations.…
Yet, Chambers cautions that biblical fidelity must not be accompanied by a judgmental attitude, particularly since 99 percent of those seeking help from Exodus ministries have some kind of church background.
…
“Healing and health are found in a lasting, vibrant relationship with Jesus, and with people in a community of believers called the local church. That is n
ot only the answer, it si vital that we’re engaged as the body of Christ in this struggle that people are facing.”Despite the need, Chambers says too many congregations are silent about homosexuality, either in an effort to not be offensive or in fear of being labeled as bigots.
Still, Chambers is encouraged that more churches are becoming places that embrace biblical truth and grace, not matter what situations people are facing.
“That’s the example of Jesus,” Chambers says. : He was 100 percent grace and 100 percent truth. We’re finding balanced churches that commit to walking that out as best we can as human beings.”
Excellent. I also know that whenever Alan speaks about the 1 Corinthian scripture he doe not leave it 1 Corinthians 6:11, “… and such were some of you, but you were washed, justified and sanctified by the blood of the Lamb.”
