COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - The Rev. Ted Haggard admitted Friday he bought methamphetamine and received a massage from a gay prostitute who claims he was paid for drug-fueled trysts by the former head of the National Association of Evangelicals.

"I bought it for myself but never used it," Haggard told reporters gathered outside his home. "I was tempted, but I never used it."

Haggard, 50, said he never had sex with Mike Jones, a 49-year-old Denver man who raised the allegations this week. Haggard said he received a massage from Jones after being referred to him by a Denver hotel.

He said he had been struggling with the gay problem all his adult life. We need to be very careful of judging here. It could happen to anyone, even our kids. Judge not that ye be judged. I take it seriously these days.

I believe God is shaking up our government and our church. We've been playing church too long. He's letting his ministers know that they can't get away with this stuff.

Good for you. He's just a man and mankind sins. We're born with a sin nature. I'm sorry he had to wrestle with the demons in his life and pray that this will help him overcome them. He's in our prayers daily. Love, Mxxx
