warning |
Every library has lots you will love and lots you will not loveHere you will be challenged for the church is not a club to keep people out, it is in the rescue business of bring in as many as possible like a fishing with a net. If there is someone you don't want to see in church -- that is the very person you need to invite and welcome. According to a UCF professor of comparative religion lately - people are hungry for God's love and fearful of the people and organization of the church. You, reader, are either the reason or the solution to that. There are always those who do not like what they read and so want to ban the book or burn the author or the messanger.... to them I give warning. If something upsets you here - pray about how God may be asking you to change, or how you can understand someone else better. That is what we call the Law that convicts us. If you are comforted by what you read I can help you find more peace in Jesus' love and grace. WARNING this page is filled with dialogue with many, and will be filled with more and more about people of other faiths and outlooks. Reader, if you cannot listen, do not go farther. If you do go farther - do not complain. This pastor is a teacher and a student of the Word and the Word made flesh, who called us to seek out and speak in the way they will understand, and to confict the hearts of the "self-righteous". |

| God Made Me Gay |
|
This link is to a 32 page treatise by a Baptist Pastor called "A Letter to Louise" who once told him "My brother hates God because God made him gay, and he knows he is going to hell, and I do, too, for that is what the Bible says." This deals with the truths about how/why a person is gay/lesbian and what the Bible really has to say about it. From a conservative pastor - so don't think it is liberal propaganda. |
