The Church and Homosexuality: Ten Commitments, by Kevin DeYoung

Of the many complexities involving the church and homosexuality, one of the most difficult is how the former should speak of the latter. Even for those Christians who agree that homosexuality is contrary to the will of God there is little agreement on how we ought to speak about homosexuality being contrary to the will [...]

Fearfully and Wonderfully Made, Woefully and Tragically Fallen, by Steve Cornell

An article giving consideration to a holistic approach to Christian counseling.  Thought-provoking read, whether you entirely agree or not.  A taste: Evangelicals have a significant stake in the decision-making nature of human beings.

What the Bible Really STILL Says About Homosexuality, by Kevin DeYoung

This article is truly profound and, I wager, as definitive a piece in this debate and defense of biblical truth, mixed with true gospel love, as I have read.  And for all that is said, it is relatively short.  Thus, it is jam-packed.  DeYoung shows the flimsiness of the revisionist argument for homosexuality and, in [...]

Immanuel Baptist Church and the Gay/Straight Alliance

Last Thursday I had a tremendous opportunity. Along with six other believers (mostly from Immanuel) I went to a local public high school to dialogue with a student group called the ‘Gay, Straight Alliance’. This event was made possible because one of our Pastoral Apprentices, Andrew Wilkinson shared the gospel with, and befriended his lesbian [...]
