Amazing Grace: The Story of Ashley Smith

However, for Sullivan to call himself a believer while still unrepentantly practicing a sinful "lifestyle" is, shall we say...not the best way to proclaim the Gospel.

Give him credit for being a believer, but a slackard and rationalizer for not having the will power to do as he claims to believe. Homosexuality is a grave sin. Some of the things I've done-- and more of the things I've neglected to do-- may be lesser sins, but even sinners may be believers.

Christ came not to save the sinless, but to show the way for the sinful.

[Cicero]

God works in mysterious ways. Yes, Sullivan is apparently still an active and unrepentent homosexual, but this article suggests to me that he may yet find his way back home.

Oscar Wilde died repentent, and his earlier work shows a similar mixture of sin and grace, IMHO.
