A beautiful video message from Believe Out Loud with pastors outside the Supreme Court, talking about marriage equality and what they would like to say to the LGBT community!
“…it’s no coincidence that black Christians in the public eye are often overlooked by the religious right and the media until they express religious opinions that fit into the politicized framing of the culture wars (see: Bishop Harry Jackson, Ben Carson and, of course, Chris Broussard). In such a media culture, there’s little room for Christians like Collins, battling multiple stereotypes as a black, gay, pro athlete expressing his faith publicly.”

I have a question that's been bothering me for some time now.. (I've been getting mixed messages from Gay Christians who I have trusted and respected). Is it alright to have gay sex... since most states don't allow marriage? If so, does it give us a license to do what ever we want with whoever we so choose? and if that's true, how are we any better the kind pagans? is there some basic code of conduct we should follow? Or is oral sex permissible, so long as you are young and horny? thank youfrom klaiby
I think as Christians we should treat our bodies as “temples of the holy spirit” which for me means only having sex with people I am in love with and am having a long term relationship with. That doesn’t mean I haven’t slipped from that path but as a general rule that’s what I stick to.
I however won’t tell someone not to have one night stands (as long as they are being safe) because it is not my body, it is theirs.
Sex and sexuality are gifts from God and they are there to be enjoyed. As long as you are safe and happy revel in one of the many pleasures in life that God has given us. If you don’t feel like you are honouring God with your sex life then change your behaviour.

‘… My choice withdrew you from the world, therefore the world hates you.’ – John 15:19
Persecution is part of the Christian walk. Every believer in Christ Jesus is persecuted. Many times we are persecuted not by those outside the fold but by sheep within the fold of Christ. Jesus says that it…


My favorite hymn, based on psalm 139.
I give you Exhibit A:

Jesus was fully human. He had human emotions and in this instance I like to call this incident not the “cleansing of the temple” but “Jesus flips his s***t”.
There is nothing wrong with righteous anger, if there is injustice or greed or cruelty (especially in the name of God) we should get angry. We should shout, we should scream, we should protest. We should not keep quiet and accept evil in our Fathers house. Jesus didn’t. And He is with is us when we cry “NO MORE!!”.
