I saw this yesterday and have been watching it unfold but there has been little detail given.  Window Media closed all of its publications yesterday.  Most notably, the Washington Blade. I have been told that Washington Blade was the largest gay newspaper in the country and just recently celebrated its 40th anniversary. Here is a list of  the four largest of the seven gay print outlets closed down: Washington Blade Southern Voice (Atlanta) South Florida Blade Houston Voice Over the years I have interviewed with and read many articles by the Washington Blade and I think once or … [Read more...]

Of Picket Lines, Politics and People

November 16, 2009 By Julie Neils
Protest

Charisma Magazine published an article I wrote called Of Picket Lines, Politics and People: An e-mail from an old college friend got me thinking. She had reconnected with a high school classmate on FaceBook and her friend, a passionate, self-proclaimed gay rights advocate, was constantly posting statements and articles on the subject for all to see. My friend, knowing that I work with a ministry that helps those dealing with unwanted same-sex attraction, asked, "How, in your opinion, do you even begin to talk to someone like this? Obviously she doesn't have the same worldview ... so what … [Read more...]

Free Speech and Common Sense Wins In England

November 13, 2009 By Randy Thomas
Randy Christine London

Lord Waddington has been championing free speech in England for people who do not hold the politically correct pro-gay ideological view and want to speak into the public discourse concerning the topic of homosexuality. Some were saying that there is a tolerance for free speech but many who do not hold a pro-gay view were being harassed and intimidated into silence. Last Monday Lord Waddington wrote the Times Online: Some might say it (his free speech ammendment) is so moderate that it merely states the obvious and is therefore unnecessary. But those who say that are closing their eyes to … [Read more...]

MST Project – Ministry to Those Involved With Sex Trafficking in Thailand

November 11, 2009 By Alan Chambers
MST Project

Hello friends. This is Alan and I have asked my friend, Christian Lenty, to share about his ministry seeking to combat the sex trafficking in Thailand with the compassion and love of Christ. It is Sunday morning and I look out at the crowd before me knowing that some may like what I am about to ask, and some may not. I begin with the first question - "How many of you here would say that the issue of human trafficking interests you?” and I notice that half the hands go up. I ask the second question - “How many here would say that you care for, support and would want to help women who are … [Read more...]

Homosexuality And Your Church – Thom Hunter for The BaptistMessenger.com

November 10, 2009 By Randy Thomas

Excellent article: Homosexuality and Your Church by Thom Hunter What do the gay people in your church look like? Do you spot them by their flamboyant clothing, their mannerisms, their declarations? When a brother or sister in your church came to you to ask you for your help and support in their personal struggle against homosexuality, what did you do to walk with them? How did you respond the last time this happened to you? “Oh, we don’t have that problem in our church,” you say? If yours is a typical Southern Baptist church in Oklahoma, you do. If it is not a problem for … [Read more...]
