1 Peter 1:3-5 Lately I’ve had the occasion to fly a lot around the country, preaching here and there. Even though I’m here on Sundays, it seems like my weeks have been spent in airports, sometimes for a long time, as I’ve had mechanical delays and things like that. And I’ve become very much aware [...]

25 Oct 2009Romans 3:9–20 It was a few years ago, maybe three years ago that it was brought to my attention that it had been quite a number of years since we had looked at the heart of the book of Romans, chapters 3, 4 and 5. And it was suggested to me at that time that [...]

My thoughts on Tonex coming out of the closet, the Lutheran church approving of officers who live monogamous, same sex, gay lifestyles homosexuality, and apostasy in the churches today. Tonex believes that same sex, monogamous relationships are not sinful, and that God “honors covenants” made between same sex couples to stay with each other. He also admits still being attracted to men, having experienced “gay sex,” believes that there are “Holy Ghost filled Gay people” in the churches, has not had any kind of struggle internally against his homosexual feelings, (a sure sign that he does not have the Spirit) and how the “gay” side of him isn’t who he is when he is pastoring… yeah he is pastoring people. Tonex’s thoughts about his homosexuality – “I’m not sure that is something I need to be delivered from.” He is wrong and needs to repent. Here is the links to the entire interview: Part 1 www.youtube.com Part 2 (where he starts talking about his homosexuality and how he was sexually abused as a child.) www.youtube.com Part 3 (The finish) www.youtube.com Almost half the delegates at the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America convention voted to ordain gay priests in long term relationships, and they easily approved a measure to allow gay marriage ceremonies. It is also a strange coincidence that there was a tornado that ripped the steeple off one of the Lutheran churches which the convention was held before they cast their vote. Apparently God is not happy *shrugs …

Regarding the Beatitudes, Yancey once beautifully stated he “recognizes in them a richness that unmasks (his) own poverty.” Likewise we find that as we get drawn into Jesus’ beautiful poetry in the Beatitudes, we begin to realize the deep-seated change that God wants to effect in our hearts, and how far we are from even [...]
