Is Ordaining SSA Persons a “Non-Essential”?
A response to the Teaching Elder Letter to Sessions in the Evangelical Presbyterian Church
Same sex attraction is sexual impurity; it is sin. SSA persons need repentance, discipleship, and pastoral care. Putting a person with homosexual attraction in leadership would be disobedience to God and a failure to protect the bride of Christ. It is unthinkable to make a wounded sheep the shepherd of the flock. We have some... Continue Reading

Evangelical Presbyterian Church’s PJC Sustains Complaint Against Presbytery of the Alleghenies
The PJC ruling acknowledged that the “opinion and wish” of a General Assembly cannot bind or restrict a church from presenting a lawful overture for consideration.
The NAPC overture calls for a Constitutional Amendment that would prohibit candidates who identify as homosexual and experience same-sex attraction from being ordained in the EPC. During the November 15 Presbytery meeting, Presbytery officials apparently used a series of procedural maneuvers to prevent the NAPC Overture from being considered for a vote. The Presbytery...

God’s Emphases and Stresses Are Not To Be De-emphasized or De-stressed
The EPC’s fidelity to Sola Scriptura should lead it to obey God’s design for biblical sexual ethics.
Now the serpent was more cunning than any animal of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman, “Has God really said, ‘You shall not eat from any tree of the garden’?” (Genesis 3: 1) In response to Eve’s reply that they were forbidden to eat from the tree of... Continue Reading
A Red Line Statement on Ordination and Same-Sex Attraction in the EPC
Ordination demands evidence of progress in sanctification and the ability to serve as a model for the flock.
The high calling of ordination is incompatible with a settled identification as a “gay Christian” or with ongoing patterns of same-sex attraction.

A Letter from Andrew Brunson to the EPC
This letter raises concerns that fidelity to Scripture may be compromised in the EPC is considering whether individuals who identify as homosexual and experience ongoing same-sex attraction may be ordained to leadership in the church.
As a missionary, I understand the difficulty of sharing the gospel with a culture that does not share our values. Yet in our desire to be missional, we must not forsake the truth of Scripture or abandon the unchanging commands of God. The Bible clearly teaches that homosexuality is an unnatural desire and contrary to... Continue Reading
A Suffocating Lament
How the 2025 “A Call to Prayer and Lament” framing of grief suffocates the church.
What will happen if this lament, that uses terminology born far outside Scripture, becomes a driving force? Terms originating from some who reject Scripture may unintentionally shape how congregants interpret sin and reconciliation. How can we expect restitution or peace when worldly expressions replace our ecclesiastical language? Naming a group as inherently grieved and another... Continue Reading
