Chastity and Sexual Orientation Pt. 2

Tuesday, January 13, 2009

The story of Ray Boltz (click here) or (here) really got me thinking about this.

So - here are some questions I have been asking myself about homosexuality, salvation, and the Bible.

Are there homosexuals in heaven?

Are there homosexuals on earth, that are part of God’s elect?

If there was a person in your church that was a member and had fallen into sexual sin with the person of the same sex and confessed it, what steps would you take to minister to this person?

• I agree that the homosexual agenda appears to be advancing, and it does offend me, but I am not convinced that my “offense” is making any difference.

o My taking offense will not change anyone

o Other Christians already agree with me

o Simply talking about our “

Why do a community Bible Study?

Tuesday, August 21, 2007

Glad you asked! Here is a working document that captures the essence of what we are trying to do....

Goals

• For Christian men to have a presence in their community

• An opportunity for men to build friendships with other men from different churches

• To dig deeper into the Word in an informal setting. It should be OK for men to really hash out and even debate some doctrines and develop a passion for God.

• Accountability and prayer support

• Help men become better heads in their
