Telling it Like it Is
I bashed Steve Ray’s take on the Assumption of Mary, but now I have to agree with this piece on his blog.
I’m so tired of seeing the “gay isn’t a choice” rhetoric posted everywhere. I’m happy to see a website telling stories of people who were formerly gay who gave their lives to Christ and let His Holy Spirit set them free. We Christians aren’t trying to change gay people: we are truly trying to set them free with the liberating blood of Jesus Christ, who is big enough to overcome any and all sin that a person brings to Him.
We must never forget that Jesus “is able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, since he always lives to make intercession for them” (Heb 7:25). And “neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Rom 8:38-39). These are powerful, biblical truths that so many of our gay brothers and sisters deny in service to an idolatrous lifestyle. If only they would turn themselves to Jesus, He will save them.
Thank you, Steve Ray, for telling the truth about this prickly issue.
