My favourite 'ex-gay' story is the one about the two prominent leaders of
one of the American ex-gay ministries who were on a preaching tour and, due
to a gigantic cock-up on the sleeping arrangements front, suddenly found
themselves one night sharing a king-sized bed together....
Next morning they were courageous enough too own up to the fact that they
had been secretly in love with each other for years. They are now pastors
in the Metropolitan Community Church.
BArely a month goes by without some senior ex-gay leader being caught in a
gay bar, or cottaging somewhere...
Interesting, sounds like Bakker and Falwell; the two most infamous sex
scandals of recent history (besides the numerous events of the Clintons,
Jesse Jackson and now Gary Condit). Similarly, when a church leader steps up
and confesses his/her wrongdoing DOESN'T MEAN THAT YOU CONTINUE SINNING!!!!!!
Repentence from sin means going in the OPPOSITE direction from which you
were travelling, not continuing full speed ahead. But then again if you
never considered it sin, there's no reason to change, right? OK, which
brings us to the pinnacle of our point, if that's what you really believe,
then you have nothing to worry about when you stand in front of God proudly
clinging to your identity. He'll either see the sin and send you on your
merry way to Hell or see the Blood of the Lamb and welcome you into His
Kingdom.
