Ex-gays are controversial amongst the glbt community. After all, if a person can leave the lifestyle, then perhaps homosexuality is not inborn and unchangeable.
Tonight at the Solid Rock Lutheran Forum at the ELCA Churchwide Assembly, Mike Geoke of Exodus International spoke about his life long struggle against homosexuality, his plunge into the homosexual lifestyle, and the redeeming power of Jesus Christ who called him out of that life and transformed him and restored his marriage. It was so unbelievably powerful. Click on the link to read about him.
I wish the assembly could hear it. When we say that homosexuals can't change and we need to accept them as they are and not expect them to change, we deny the transformational power of the cross of Jesus Christ. We leave people in bondage. How can my church do that and say it is the loving thing to do?
