Let me make it clear, though, that Johnson and those who support him are on the wrong side of the battle line–there is nothing to appreciate about putting souls in eternal peril. For those who are taking a “wait and see” approach to Revoice, looking for clarity about what it is really about as the... Continue Reading

“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind….” Several implications for the struggler against same-sex attraction: first, when paired with teachings such as “do not love the word or the things in it,” it…must be a straightforward repudiation of the “gay” or “LGBT” identity, not merely the...
