About John Paulk – A Brief Response To Rev. Cheng On The Huffington Post

May 28, 2010 By Randy Thomas
light in darkness

I read a blog post the other day by a Rev. Patrick Cheng PhD, for The Huffington Post. He basically said that ex-gays were going to hell and really, really deserved it. I never tell anyone they are going to hell. It wasn't the fear of hell that saved me. It was the kindness, mercy and love of God that led me to repentance. In the years I spent as a gay-identified man I didn't appreciate Christians telling me to "flip or fry." Today as an ex-gay man I still don't appreciate being told I deserve hell especially by a theologian who is selective about his tolerance, not to mention his … [Read more...]

An Encouraging Flashback – Bob Davies In Christianity Today

May 26, 2010 By Randy Thomas
bob

I was digging around the Christianity Today website and found the article Ex-gay Sheds The Mocking Quote Marks which is an article featuring former Exodus President Bob Davies. Here are some excerpts (Published on 1/7/2002) : ... After 22 years, I've been aware for a while that I was ready for a change. I loved it, and this has been the most exciting, fulfilling time in my life. But as I prayed about it, I got an impression or a message from the Lord, and it was a message of two words: "Finish well." I thought, Okay, what does that mean? Am I going to be dying of cancer in the next couple … [Read more...]

Jim Katsoudas did a great job in this interview and is doing a great thing in North Carolina.  In the article Ministry hopes to turn people away from gay lifestyle (update with PFLAG response), Larry Bell and Jim share their stories.  Here is the section regarding Jim: Clean Heart executive director Jim Katsoudas said the ministry doesn’t pound down people’s doors or force their opinions. “We don’t really approach them.

Click Image To Visit The Irish Times article "I Love Jesus ..."

From the Irish Times article I Love Jesus (but not in a gay way): At the centre of this movement is an organisation called Core Issues, a Northern Ireland Christian initiative run by Mike Davidson, a married man who describes himself as having been “in conflict with unwanted homosexuality . . . before finally seeing the light”. Core Issues has brought a series of high-profile ex-gay speakers from the US to Ireland, and this week hopes to host a “Leaving Homosexuality Celebration” with Alan Chambers of Exodus International, a worldwide umbrella group for ex-gay organisations – … [Read more...]

Joyce Meyer Speaks Against Ugandan Anti-Homosexuality Bill – Christian Today

April 14, 2010 By Randy Thomas
Uganda

From Christian Today: Charismatic preacher Joyce Meyer has spoken out against Uganda’s highly contentious Anti-Homosexuality Bill. In a statement released Monday, Meyer said it is “increasingly evident” that the Bill introduced in the Ugandan parliament is a “profoundly offensive, dangerous and disturbing attack on the very foundation of individual liberties and human rights afforded not only to the good citizens of Uganda, but on the at-large global community”. “If enacted, this hostile legislation will also further, and adversely, serve as a major setback in the … [Read more...]

Day of Truth Is This Thursday

April 13, 2010 By Randy Thomas
Day of Truth 1

Don't forget that Day of Truth is this Thursday. Focus On The Family did an article on the project yesterday.  In it they quote Jeff Buchanan: Jeff Buchanan, senior director with Exodus, said it's no accident they named it the Day of Truth. "We want to talk and have the conversations and it be laced with love and grace," he said, "but we cannot steer away from the firm foundation of the Truth when we do talk about biblical sexuality." While students should engage in respectful discourse about gay issues, Buchanan cautions that some may encounter resistance at school.  For that, … [Read more...]

Leaving Homosexuality Book Review on Associated Content

April 8, 2010 By Randy Thomas
LeavingHomo_LRG

I got a google alert about this book review.  I had never heard of Associated Content before but I really like their premise: Associated Content is an Open Content Network. AC's platform enables anyone to participate in the new content economy by publishing content on any topic, in any format (text, video, audio and images), and connects that content to consumers, partners and advertisers. Pretty cool.  And Becky Whitmore decided to do a book review of Alan's new book Leaving Homosexuality.  At the end of her review Becky writes: I found Leaving Homosexuality: A Practical Guide for … [Read more...]

Baptist Press Covers Exodus Response to Ugandan NASWU Statement

April 6, 2010 By Randy Thomas
Uganda

From Baptist Press: "NASWU rejects the view that same-sex attraction is an innate 'orientation,' rather it is part of a range of feelings individuals ought to learn to bring under control as they mature," the social workers said. "There is justification for Uganda to put in place appropriate legislation to comprehensively prohibit homosexuality." But the group said the bill contains drafting errors that should be corrected before its passage. Specifically, the clause requiring mandatory reporting of all known homosexual offenses should be amended to exempt disclosure made in counseling … [Read more...]
