Quote of the Day by RAT Patrol

The closet of Jesus is big enough for all.

[SkyPilot]

You are right, God's shoulders are big enough--because we can't do it on our own.

It has been a real weird morning. A guy we work with died in a car wreck on the way here, and we had some other bad news on top of that. But, God is in charge. Some things are best left in Hs hands. Escape from a destructive, sinful existence like homosexuality is possible--if you give it to the Lord.

Thank you for posting this!

The power of God and family prevails in the end.

(2Co 5:17) Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

I have a gay friend who has led a horrible, horrible life. He has always hated his father (a mean, horrible man), and never felt the wonder of true fatherly love. My friend says he can never forgive his father. I wonder how he would be changed if he could.

This confirms what I've said before. Homosexuality is just neurotic behaviour.

Forgiveness is terribly difficult, but what incredible freedom. V's wife.

We were two men who thought we had the world in the palm of our hands

Well, they had SOMETHING in the palms of their hands...

When I fully understood the forgiveness God extended to me through the atoning blood of Jesus Christ, I realized the life-changing power that lay within this efficacious act.

Amen and Bump. Thanks for posting this. A wonderful story

These are feelings, thoughts and actions most have had ever since childhood. Many have hidden and suppressed their homosexual feelings for so long, until they finally gave in and "came out" to the world. Their inner struggle for self-acceptance has turned into a misguided outward struggle for civil rights.

I strongly suspect that every man and woman alive has struggled and is struggling with some hidden, suppressed temptation(s) that he or she cannot simply wish away. The Christian is called to resist the temptation, to seek forgiveness when resistance fails, and to carry on the struggle anew--never justifying, never excusing. Over time the Lord burnishes and perfects the soul of Christian who is faithful in the struggle.

As Paul reported, God's strength is made perfect in the weakness of the faithful Christian.

In the case of a person who breaks free of the homosexual lifestyle there is an added bonus in the here-and-now, for he escapes a disease-ridden and grossly dysfunctional way of life that can never truly satisfy because it is a wholly counterfeit way of life.

It is wonderful that the author of this piece escaped a lie and found Life.

The article didn't mention another path to homosexuality--recruitment on college campuses by "friends" on the make and liberal, politically-correct professors and a willing media who entice audiences to think that homosexuality is the preferred "normal" life choice. I was shocked during a college reunion in 1995 when almost every poster on campus was about overcoming your homophobia, etc. (you'd think that homophobia was the only problem facing the campus or the world) as well as illustrations on the bathroom mirrors for how to perform lesbian acts. Needless to say, I haven't been back and they will NEVER get another dime from me!

Just as no one is born an alcoholic or a drug addict, the same must be said of the homosexual.

Truth wins!

My husband of 11 years, and the father of my four children, confessed his homosexuality and left home to live with a man. Thirty years had passed until it came his time to die with lung cancer, and I was at the hospital, beside his bed. He said to me, "I wish I had lived my life for Jesus", and I said, "but could you have?" and he said, "Yes, I could have."

I hope that he died with his sin forgiven.

My aunt provides social counseling for drug addicts. She told me that the other day she had required training on how to deal with Homosexuals. The clinics couselors were trained among other things never tell homosexuals they are doing something wrong. They have to make them feel extra special for being homosexual.

My aunt says that the correlation between destructive behavior and homosexuality is obvious to the most jaded counselors and most disagreed with the training. But, they were told this was one issue they could be fired on if they didn't comply. She also said that when she previously tried to indirectly show her patients that their lifestyle was causing them problems, perhaps they should consider changing "certain things"? The patients pretty much felt that they were special, better that others, and had heightened awareness of life for being homosexual. Amazing!!
