DISQUS

When God's word is so very clear on a subject matter; then I personally allow HIS Word to take deep root in my heart and do not allow the traditions of men, the doctrines of churches and denominations to cause clouding. This used to be the case when I first started my walk as a "Catholic/Baptacostal"

I find this particular subject one that seems to be very difficult for people to receive - "The Gay Gospel." This is the very subject that I believe the Father is going to have me write on in detail that will underscore the beginning of wisdom from God & His word, and compel us by the Love of His Spirit which results in an adoration of HIM in obeying Him and dying to our appetites and our flesh.

May all those who call upon the Lord work out their salvation in fear and awe of almighty God.

So here's the WORD OF THE LORD:

Ephesians 5:1-9 AMPLIFIED...
"THEREFORE BE imitators of God [copy Him and follow His example], as well-beloved children [imitate their father]. And walk in love, [esteeming and delighting in one another] as Christ loved us and gave Himself up for us, a [a]slain offering and sacrifice to God [for you, so that it became] a sweet fragrance.But immorality (sexual vice of any kind) and all impurity of lustful, rich, wasteful living or greediness must not even be named among you, as is fitting and proper among saints, people who are consecrated to God, or people who call themselves Christians. Let there be no filthiness (obscenity, indecency) nor foolish and sinful (silly and corrupt) talk, nor coarse jesting, which are not fitting or becoming; but instead voice your thankfulness [to God]. For be sure of this: that no person practicing sexual vice or impurity in thought or in life, or one who is covetous [who has lustful desire for the property of others and is greedy for gain]--for he [in effect] is an idolater--has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. Let no one delude and deceive you with empty excuses and groundless arguments [for these sins], for through these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of rebellion and disobedience. So do not associate or be sharers with them. For once you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord; walk as children of Light [lead the lives of those native-born to the Light]. For the fruit (the effect, the product) of the Light or [c]the Spirit [consists] in every form of kindly goodness, uprightness of heart, and trueness of life."

So is it mean or unkind to merely speak the Word of God in truth and in love, especially since you want people to really be there in eternity? Learning to love God fully and love people more sincerely....

BTW... I could have done without sexists remarks as well... It justs makes it harder for many to listen to, again he made a LOT of excellent points, topics that should be discussed and debated.

He makes a LOT of great points that people REALLY need to think through!

This guy is terrific! He says it like it is! AMEN BROTHER!


NOBAMA!

The pressure of being accountable to voters and what a person's legacy would be while in Congress. However, this also give new participants in the process the ability to continue to point out the problems of the incumbents and improve. I hope that makes sense :-) God bless!

Amen sister... be the light, be the salt, evangelize and if necessary use words. :-)

Sorry sis... I don't agree... term limits would bring a greater level of accountability... and that is what is needed first.


There must be a promotion of character and integrity. I cannot see another way around making sure the people of the USA can police it as voters. It is out of control in the Christless, immoral self-centered narcissistic generation. We need a sweeping Revival, so until then... we need term limits.

Exactly... no reason not to have term limits... and it could be once out, you rest and re-run after 2 or 4 years. I would be very satisfied with that... it needs to happen... Congress is untrustworthy!

Dave Ramsey has some great ideas that are circulating around the Internet. It is laid out well on his web site. We need to hold the Congress accountable. I hope each of you will call, as I have to voice opinions on this matter... FINALLY it seems they are actually listening to the citizens out of fear of being voted out of office! I do not want me, or my children or grandchildren to have to pay for this mess! IT IS SO WRONG!

This is a very sound plan!



GOD HAVE MERCY ON US! Oh Lord hear our prayer that Congress will act with wisdom!

I completely agree... it is time to make them responsible!

So true! Let's push for term limits!

What a spin the media and what the Democrats have presented about this mess. Oh, but then you start looking at the history and isn't interesting that the Dems really are much more culpable.


Politics are messy! I am finding it very hard to trust anyone in Washington to have consistent integrity. It really makes me angry and very irritated!



They continue to make the dollar worthless, and ultimately they are ruining the economy.

Randy, brother, Come on don't get too tired, you need material to blog about :-)


You are funny!

Hey brother... I just listened to the interview on my iPod on the way home. You did an excellent job. The man who called in about his wife leaving him for another woman made me cry.


The reason I mentioned so much about the distorted gospel and the last days in my last post was what I had read on Ray Boltz's site. He is seems to be embracing the gay gospel. It is so sad to actually know the TRUTH and have people fall away in deception. It truly breaks my heart. I want to help by giving some answers, perhaps to no avail out here.



Cheryl, I love that verse and believe that verse. Fortunately or unfortunately I have had the opportunity to experience a lot of personal loss and grief as well. I am thankful that the tears are being bottled up in Heaven. It will be all worth it!



I just read over some of the posts above.



Again, it is apparent that there are many people who struggle with SSA, or who have embrace homosexuality - a gay identity who are not Biblically literate and who have not enjoyed an intimate relationship with Christ to bring a revelation. It makes sense that they would not understand your position Randy. It is very sad.

Hello Brother Randy!


I am very saddened by Ray's direction. I am not surprised. However, I am grieving with the many that are affected by his direction and choice. My heart goes out to his wife, children, extended family members and fans. WOW! What a mess just one man's decision can make in this life.



It is a good minder for me, my staff and others I know who have struggled with SSA. Our choices in life will matter. I am also dealing with a personal situation with a man I used to minister to and serve who is now leading a “gay” church. Very sad situation.



It is not how we start this race / relationship with Christ that matters, but how we finish. He who overcomes will be clothed in white raiment and shall receive a crown, whom the Lord gives to those who LOVE HIM. The beginning of wisdom - the fear of the Lord, is never apart of the “gay gospel.” The teaching of covenant is foreign to most, and it is a social message. Therefore what is taught is not the gospel of Jesus Christ, but is based upon traditions of men, and doctrines of churches. There will be a great falling away of many in the days to come. The Scriptures are clear about this fact, and we should mourn; but we need to be prepared, we cannot lose heart and yet we should not be surprised any more.



I have been asked the question several times, "why! - how can this happen?"



Bottom line, (but not to be too over simplistic), this is an issue of faith and what one will believe in their core, in the secret world of their private thoughts. Faith is so ambiguous - it doesn't have handles on it. Yet it is simple.



It really is an issue of unbelief, and people embracing another message/gospel. This deception gives way when the Word of God is not implanted to save - deliver the mind / soul of a believer. We must be consecrated believers and not just mental believers. This is a relational gospel of humility and honesty that gives the believer “power” â€" grace to overcome.



This false message has teachers willing to comfort the desires of the afflicted to embrace their homosexuality. I have noticed that there is no cross or dying to self in their message. It is the believer of mental ascent, the believing of historical facts and the desire for a social group. The devil believes in Jesus. Oh yes, Satan knows Jesus well, yet the devil is not going to spend eternity with the Church. This is indeed a sad day, and I truly hope Ray, and others like him who I love dearly, come to their senses. I have already prayed for him and his family. No doubt there is a real hardening of the heart that takes place with those who once actually walked in Christian circles and then they embrace a gay gospel. It makes you wonder what kind of isolation and fantasy Ray and others live in their secret world before they actually embrace their homosexuality. I know first hand that those who I have seen fall away have another gospel message and become religious or completely give up on Christianity and become mockers. I have wept hard. I have seen this first hand several times now. There are several other key elements I have not mentioned; like the very unpopular elements of dying to self, living in transparent community and willing to live by faith regardless of feelings, but continuing to live in the enjoyment of Christ. Spiritual warfare is another subject as well; can't hardly talk about that without the mockers coming out in legions.



Thank you for stand strong! Thank you for pressing in! You are loved!

this is so true! For me, NOW, this is first major reason to vote for McCain - JUDGES... Judges who will be constitutionally guided and not legislate from the bench. There are a possible of three new appointees! THAT'S HUGE! We need judges who up hold the law rather than making it up as they go, like the black robe gods who have us Roe V. Wade... they should instead had been servants of God, as was originally intended by our founding forefathers.


I also like McCain's policies on security and foreign relations... especially his clear comment from Saddleback, you destroy evil, you cannot negotiate with evil as Obama would suggest.



Noticed the new direction... "REFORM" was loud and clear. Reform will be the new buzz word for the McCain campaign.



This seems like an answer to prayer for me, and many other Christians who are concerned about the direction of our country. I am looking forward to, and pray for a McCain/Palin victory to the White House on November 4th!

That's right on Randy! I have also notice that she does not parade her deeply committed beliefs in verbal dialogs, but seems to be actually living it!


Knowing her baby was Downs and embracing him instead of the liberal democrat way of abortion. It reminds me of St. Augistines' famous quote, "Preach the gospel all day long, and if necessary use words."



The more I look at this woman, the more I like here and it seems she truly is a dedicated Christian. I love it!

Yes Ellie... I agree. We absolutely must be involved. Jesus desires for us to be the salt of the earth and the light of the world in HIS Spirit.
I think it should be interesting to see what does happen with the Boissoin case in Alberta. It seems like there could potentially be a huge pouring out of support. I have notice that there are a lot of angry Canadians over this case. They are expecting a huge turn out when the final ruling comes down in October. I have some very close friends in Canada and they are outraged!
We must pray, and act wisely... gentle and wise! God help us all be so filled with YOUR wisdom as to act appropriately and timely in Jesus Name!
