I was alerted to Dr. Warren Throckmorton's post about Bradlee Dean's (pictured) public comments saying that Muslim countries who call for homosexuals to be killed are more "moral" than American Christians. I listened to the segment of Mr. Dean's radio program and was shocked. You will be too if you decide to listen: UPDATE: Audio added June 2, 2009. We called our contacts in Minnesota and apparently Mr. Dean is somewhat known in Christian circles there. They have run into him a couple of times but have not appreciated his strident tone. They were as upset by his statements as we are. … [Read more...]

May 19, 2010 By Randy Thomas

Albert Mohler lends his great intellect to making complex issues approachable. He has done so again regarding the recent ordination of Mary Glasspool as a Bishop in the Episcopal church.  Ms. Glasspool has openly embraced lesbianism and makes the second gay Bishop in the denomination and first lesbian identified Bishop.  Here is the introduction and conclusion of Mr. Mohler's very interesting blog post (of which you should read the whole thing): The ordination of Mary Glasspool as a bishop of the Episcopal Church on Sunday drives yet another wedge into the already fracturing Anglican … [Read more...]

We previously blogged about the Preacher Arrested in England for Saying Homosexuality is a sin. After being being held in prison for seven hours and dealing with a 26 day needless battle the charges have been dropped.

Preacher Arrested in England for Saying Homosexuality is A Sin

May 4, 2010 By Randy Thomas
nofreespeech

From AlbertMohler.com: We have seen this coming for some time now. The public space has been closing, especially when it comes to Christian speech — and especially when that speech is about homosexuality. Now, a Christian preacher has been arrested in Britain for the crime of saying in public that homosexuality is a sin. This arrest is more than a news event — it is a signal of things to come and an announcement of a new public reality. Even if all charges are dropped against this preacher, the signal is sent and the message is clear. The act of Christian preaching is now a potential … [Read more...]

Afterthoughts On Jennifer Knapp – The Fullness of Grace & Truth

April 29, 2010 By Randy Thomas
Click Image to visit JenniferKnapp.com

The article I previously wrote concerning Jennifer Knapp "coming out" has now become the most visited post since we started this blog last August. Almost all of the tremendous amount of feedback was in agreement with the various points made in the post. Many appreciated the explanation of how temptation, if it is of any worth as a temptation, latches on to legitimate needs and points to sinful behavior as a way to meet those needs. Some people privately messaged that they appreciated the explanation of how love is a very important investment and rightly or wrongly, we cannot simply dismiss … [Read more...]

From Study: Bullies home in on gays: A groundbreaking new Harvard study has found that gay people are far more likely to be tormented as youngsters, often leading to years of post-traumatic stress disorder. Researchers at Harvard School of Public Health and Children’s Hospital found that gays, bisexuals and heterosexuals who have had a same-sex partner are 1 to two times as likely to experience violence, especially in childhood, and have double the risk of experiencing PTSD as a result. “It’s really appalling,” said lead author Andrea Roberts, a postdoctoral fellow in … [Read more...]
