I wonder; could there be some vast left wing conspiracy preventing such? (/Sarcasm)
God bless this man - and may he continue to help pull others out of this self-destructive behaviour. It is the most wonderful thing to see someone saved from a life of sin...ANY sin.
Yes any sin. This is not the worse by any means. What makes it so horrible is the wall of silence and the intimidation.
And thank you for your efforts. I’ve often wondered, how about the folks in the Exodus International ministry who walk the walk. Popular thought is “oh, you’re born that way”, “CELEBRATE your homosexuality”, etc., yet many have apparently left the homosexual lifestyle through their ministry.
Focus on the Family used to have a fairly regular interview with some of the people involved. Good work IMO.
The homosexual activists are very powerful - extremely intimidating.
Just twenty years ago, most people my age would have scoffed at the notion of homosexuality being accepted as normal, let alone people marrying a member of the same sex.
It is stunning to see how political correctness completely molds minds. Goes to show how people who are not grounded in truth can easily be talked into anything.
Believing Christians have failed to set up alternative tuition-free Christian schools. Every child in the U.S. should have access to a tuition-free, private, and thoroughly Christian based K-12 education. If Harvard can have a 35 **BILLION** dollar endowment and universities across this nation can have similar endowments, Christian should be doing the same for Christian K-12 education.
Believing Christians have failed to organize to SHUT DOWN the government K-12 indoctrination centers. They are an abomination! Every one of these government K-12 “schools” completely conflicts with the First Amendment and freedom of conscience.
Believe Christians teach in government schools. They **willingly** ( for money) teach children a godless worldview. By their example and direct instruction they teach children that they can live without God. They teach children that Christians are hypocrites who will sell their principles for a paycheck.
Believing Christian teachers and their families sit in Christian churches and discourage their ministers from opening Christian schools. And...Believing Christian ministers are too timid to bite the hand that puts money in the collection plate.
Believing Christians send their children day after day into godless government schools, and then they wonder why the children learn to live without God.
Yep! That our nation is a cultural, political, and religious mess can be laid at the feet of Christians who cooperate with evil, and thousands upon thousands of Christian teachers cooperate with evil for a paycheck and pension.
I know one individual who was molested by his openly gay uncle and did become gay. I went to school with him and I know that he expressed normal interest in girls up until that event. Their is a conspiracy of silence. There are a lot of hurting people and what the sexual activist agenda is doing is trapping them so they will never receive help so that they will always be encouraged to affirm the behavior of their attacker. Not all are victims of that sort, some are just lost, lonely, awkward, and some are imprisoned by fetishes that go far beyond just homosexuality.
John 8:32 “Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
Great testimony showing the truth of God’s Word!
These are very good observations, but they seem to imply a solution. That is, Christians should be endowing their schools to pay for true, biblical worldview education.
However, didn’t you just ping me a couple days ago that the Gutenberg College in Eugene OR was “too late”?
Just checking. Maybe it is never “too late”.
You have that right and what is happening in increasing numbers of places is these type of kids are being funneled not just to homosexuality but to early sex in general.
Amen. It’s great to see such a success story of a sinner who has faced his sins and found the truth.
It is good to see because the message is ultimately about hope and change of a real fulfilling kind where as the Obamas of the world want us not to believe that we can be better instead they’d rather we made comfortable in our weaknesses.
Yes; true wisdom.
No matter what his experience is, it is his; it is not universal; not even universal among “gays”.
Not every boy/young man (majorities) with an absent, distant or abusive father, gets into same-sex intimate experience as a youth and becomes “gay” as an adult.
As real as those experiences were to him, they were not the totality of what “made” him gay; because majorities of males faced with the same parental experience do not become gay.
I feel for the young man and empathize with his early problems in life. My only point is that his parental problem should not be taken as a template for what “makes someone gay”.
