Love Won Out is this weekend! <-- The exclamation point denotes genuine excitement.  I have been to many of LWO's and am blessed at every one.  Here are a couple of examples of why: One parent, who recently attended a Love Won Out event, said, “God spoke to me about my need to show more love and acceptance towards our son who is gay and to trust Him to use this in my own life to grow me to be all He wants me to be.” After attending the event, one man wrote, “I came to the conference ready to give up, walk out of my marriage and pursue a gay lifestyle. The conference gave me hope … [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."

August 12, 2009 By Randy Thomas

Kim Trobe interviews Dr. Stanton Jones and features Dr. Frank Farley (former APA President) calling for the APA to recognize that some people can and do "change."  I thought the video was very good and I personally appreciated both Jones and Farley, who come from completely different worlds when it comes to spirituality and faith (Farley does not ascribe to any faith.) … [Read more...]
