Commentary

Pride parades are about equal rights, not promiscuity

As I begin to wrap up this series, I would like to look at a misconception held not only by Christians, but by people from all parts of society: the idea that pride parades are all about sex.

Commentary

Sexual, gender minorities are a part of God’s creation

Recently I wrote about the Creation account and the ways in which it has been used to define the institution of marriage. It has also been used to define gender.

Commentary

Gay couples have something to contribute to society

Not long ago, I had a meeting with the pastoral staff at my church about our differing opinions regarding homosexuality. Later, I applied to lead a discipleship group, and after years of serving in the church, I was informed that they no longer felt comfortable allowing me to lead in this capacity.

Commentary

Commentary

Commentary

Commentary
