    Tim,

    Thank you for this post. I was thinking about this thread this morning while I brewed my coffee, and then to come here and see this post was refreshing.

    I couldn't get through my head, where I would be if my pastor had had the same mentality as some of the posters here.

    Your post and message is a powerful one, just as you say the Name of Jesus Christ is. The Holy Spirit started working in my years ago and after many many months of thought I came back to the Lord and turned from that lifestyle.

    Everyone keep complaining that the gay community is taking over, that we will never be rid of them, etc.. those people just don't know how powerful the Lord is.

    As someone who has been saved from that lifestyle I say, let them have whatever they want, but with every gain they get, we as Christians need to witness more, pray more, reach out more.. Let the Holy Spirit fight this battle for us.

    Again, thank you so much for this post, I am glad you're a pastor. I have no doubt, you would have reached out and saved me like my pastor did.

    Jamie

    Jamie, I have to admit, I get very judgmental at times... (Just ask Ken... lol)
    But when I do, I remember you. And that softens me some...

    To me, Homosexuals need Christ just like heterosexuals that are living together in sin need him.. Both are sexual sins. Both sins are slave makers... I mean, the people in these sins are in heavy bondage... and realistically, not many break the bonds.

    I do not like the Homosexual agenda.. and I get red hot mad when I hear how we need to treat them like a minority... that is the issue that bugs me the most.

    A true minority can not change ... but you are an example, among others I know that have changed.

    Blacks cannot change their color... that makes them a minority. (Michael Jackson excluded... .lol)

    But people can choose to come out from being a homosexual.

    Thank you for you kind words.

    KenH, this is not the topic of the OP. The OP asks about RW's "olive branch" offering to the gay bishop. What do you think?

    I think it's Rick Warren's statement.
