WRONG!!! I hasten to say, I am not gay. This is, instead, a comment heard in many pulpits, and among many circles. However, no matter who says it, it is emphatically wrong. I think we need to examine the issue on several fronts.
Homosexuality is evil, and is a sin. Many verses prove this: Romans 1:26-32, [...]

I am hearing things today that truly amaze me. I am hearing people say that there is no absolute truth.

I am not much of a supporter of new year resolutions, I don’t like waiting around for a specific date to make positive life changes. That said, I guess some people don’t really think about making positive life changes until the new year rolls around.
