blog blog blog blog

Hello Friends.  Just wanted to give you a heads up that the Exodus Blog is not on hiatus.  We are in our annual staff/management retreat season where we evaluate the past year and work on the vision, strategy and goals for next year. *Great* stuff so far.  And I am not just saying that because that is what you would normally expect someone on staff to say :). That said we haven't posted much here lately but expect that to increase.  I have multiple ideas for posts but am always interested to know what you would like to see blogged here.  Let us know in the comments below. Thanks! … [Read more...]

Brief Media Round-Up Concerning Day Of Truth Announcement

October 12, 2010 By Randy Thomas
Day-of-Truth

I knew when Alan made the announcement that Exodus was giving up participation in the Day of Truth campaign that it would cause a bit of a stir.  I didn't expect it to cause such an enormous amount of feedback! The blogosphere lit up and emails, Facebook private messages, phone calls started coming in.  There were quite a number of media outlets that picked up the story as well. A vast majority of the feedback was exuberant agreement with the decision. However, there were a few who didn't like the decision.  Some of those who disagreed were very thoughtful about their disagreement and … [Read more...]

When To Confront Someone’s Sin? – John Piper (Video)

July 21, 2010 By Randy Thomas
Piper

I am currently writing for a different project the topic of salvation and how some emphasize sin and hell to an inordinate degree.  It's a tough one to write.  I found this video late last night. I think it is important to note that Piper says that the importance of "confronting" sin in another increases among Christians to other Christians. That is what I understand from the scriptures as well. However, he also emphasizes that we have to be aware of our own spiritual walk with humility and meekness before talking with someone else about what he terms "destructive" behavior. Now, … [Read more...]

Of Elton And Rush – We Don’t Have to Care But We Might Choose To Do So Anyway

June 10, 2010 By Randy Thomas
EJRL Poll

I am not exaggerating, when I heard that some of the gay or pro-gay community are furious with Elton John for performing at Rush Limbaugh's wedding, I was shocked.  I thought they would be excited that the highest profile conservative in America would invite one of the world's highest profile gay men to sing at his wedding. The disparity of what I would expect between their reaction led me, on a whim, to conduct a poll on my personal blog.  I put it there and not here because I wasn't sure where and if I was even going to blog about this.  As I got public and private feedback, plus a … [Read more...]

Follow Up Interview with Bradlee Dean

June 7, 2010 By Randy Thomas
bradlee

Last week I posted about Bradlee Dean's controversial radio program where it seemed he was praising Muslim countries for how they handled the issue of homosexuality. He called me first thing the very next day. He shared his heart and agreed to do a follow up interview via email.  I promised him that I would publish his answers unedited. There were a total of five rounds of questions and an opportunity to share whatever else he wanted to share.  To date he has sent me responses to the first four rounds of questions and I will update this post with the final round of questions and his … [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...]

Healthy Vs. False Masculinity & Gender Complementarity

February 5, 2010 By Randy Thomas
male symbol

Mohler has a very thought provoking article up today.  Below are the opening few paragraphs of  NewsNote: Masculinity in a Can, Fight Club at Church, and the Crisis of Manhood: You do not have to look far to find evidence of the fact that males are in trouble in these confused and confusing times. On the university campuses, women undergraduate students outnumber young men by a clear margin -- 60% to 40%. A frightening percentage of young males are or have been behind bars, and the vast majority of young men are delaying their assumption of adult roles and responsibilities until well … [Read more...]

Danen Kane

Serving over the Exodus Events Department, one of my greatest joys is hearing feedback from conference guests who experience an Exodus conference for the first time. Recently, the North Central Regional ministries held their annual conference in Green Lake, WI. They invited musical artist, Danen Kane to join them as their worship leader at this year’s conference. Danen shares his experience at this Exodus Event on his blog …. Last weekend I lead worship for a conference in Wisconsin. The Conference was for a ministry called Exodus International. I really didn’t know a ton about … [Read more...]
