On our GLOWfriends support list,1 Rick wrote: I really need help right now in my life. I am addicted to porn. I can’t seem to stop looking at it. It has gotten bad, really bad, because I would never look at gay porn on Sunday. Yesterday (Sunday) I looked at gay porn and I also … Continue reading –>
As the third of eight children, four boys and four girls, I was always very shy. And being less than a year younger than my elder brother, always hid behind him and actually looked to him to ‘protect’ me. At the same time, I wanted him to leave me alone. I remember that September morning … Continue reading –>
Conscientious Christians frequently remind us that we are “to call sin by its right name.” 1 So I shall try to make an effort to “call sin by its right name” in this post. First of all, it seems to me, we need to define sin. We all recognize the classic definition that “sin is the … Continue reading –>

I wouldn’t expect to see an uncompromising statement regarding the Bible’s condemnation of homosexual sex featured prominently on CNN. com. But on March 3, 2011, that’s exactly what happened. While we may not agree 100% with all of what Dr. Gagnon writes, he makes some thought-provoking statements. What do you think? My Take: The Bible … Continue reading –>
Gay marriage has been accepted in Canada since July, 2005. From media reports, one would think that probably ten or fifteen percent of marriages in Canada were between people of the same sex. Statistics Canada (2006) listed six out of a thousand marriages as being between same sex couples. That is just over one-half of … Continue reading –>
Many Christians believe that homosexuality is the worst of sins because, after all, God destroyed Sodom for it, didn’t He? But does the Bible really say this? For the sake of completeness, I have done a digital search of the Bible for all references to Sodom. I haven’t copied them all in this post because … Continue reading –>
