Be Not Afraid, For I Am With You

Well, the journey has begun in earnest now. Part of my family knows what I am doing. For those of you that wonder what I mean, it is very scary to step out against opposition, but I have the assurance that His Grace is sufficient for me. I am ready to face the battle.
I am not out to hurt anyone, especially my family. It concerns me that my brother and I have just gotten close again after a long time, and I love him and respect him for his life and especially for giving me 3 awesome nephews and a wonderful sister-in-law. I don't want to lose the closeness that we share. And my mom..... wow... what a change in our relationship.
Susan, Micah, and I got to stay with her this past year and it was wonderful. She loves Susan and Micah, and asks about them all the time.
I just know that I need to follow my Lord in what He is asking me to do. Whatever changes it brings in my life are ones that He will hold my hand through.
Something that I have noticed about the gay community is that they seem to think they are exempt form living a holy life. They live one way through the week and go to church on Sundays and act another way.... (by-the-way, this is not just the gay community....) It seems they have been lulled into a false sense of "saved" just because they have been so mistreated by the mainstream church. They have the attitude that "Poor me... I've been so mistreated.. I will go to heaven because God won't turn His back on me...." HOGWASH..... :)
I don't care who you are, what you are,(I hate labels), or where you are from, you are not exempt from living a holy life, acceptable by Christ, and only in and through Him are you safe.... it's time for someone to step out and let them know this.... MCC is ruining the struggling gay... their teachings are so far off base it makes me sick..., they want to exclude any songs or scripture referring to "blood" or change the scriptures to be any gender you want Him to be so as not to offend anyone....?????? What's with that???? that is so scary when you start changing the words in the Bible to suit your feelings. What a false sense of hope.... I want to reach out, in love and truth and spread the word that God is God, He doesn't expect us to live one way that is different from what He expects His other followers to live.
I want to address the Christian walk. Not the "gay" christian, or the "straight" christian, but the One and Only Way and that is by the blood of my Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.
OK I am off of my soapbox now... LOL Have an awesome day......
In His Love,
