I pray that many people will turn to Christ through reading your Blog. I am a committed Christian and have been walking with Jesus for over 30 years and He has never let me down as I look back over my life. It is wonderful to live knowing He has my life in His loving hands, guiding and leading me each day. <br />I would like to make one comment on your statement regarding not allowing Gays to become leaders...I believe that if they are walking with the Lord and exhibiting a Godly lifestyle i.e. remaining celebate, I could not see any reason why they should not be chosen as leaders. I agree with everything else you have said, but this point I feel is quite unfair towards a Gay person and seems to run contrary to the rest of your writing.<br />This has been a big issue for myself and my husband as our son is gay and we have had to review the beliefs and theories we held previously. It is challenging to face this in our family and so I feel it is an important issue that the church has dealt poorly with thus far. <br />It is strange that we focus on this sin to such an extent when the issue of greed, legalism, gossip and idolatry of material goods is spoken about so much more by Christ than anything else.<br />How guilty of these sins are we living in the West? I know I qualify for some of these! <br />Anyway, keep up your good work and I trust God will use what you are doing to honour Him.<br />Peace to you , VictoriaVICTORIAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12712020479813544071noreply@blogger.com
