Today is July 14, 8:35 Chicago time, and four hours ago, as I met with the Lord, I read in "A Year of Puritan Devotional Readings, Voices from the Past" what I decided to use as a title for this episode - and record it immediately, because it is powerful! The author was Puritan William Gurnall, who lived during the 1600s. His use of bosom spoke to me of heartfelt affection. I remembered Psalm 66:18 in the NIV: "If I had cherished sin in my heart (bosom), the Lord would not have listened." And I thought of born-again believers identifying themselves as gay Christians as if they cherished "gay". I also thought of Evangelical pastors who identify born-again believers attracted to the same sex as gay Christians, an identity derived from LGBTQ's "gay as a marker of human identity" ideology. And I thought of how God holds these pastors accountable for mixing Christianity with LGBTQ ideology - and what Jesus said about stumbling blocks: Matt. 18:6-9 and 16:23, and Luke 17:1-2, especially if it comes from the pulpit. The idea of the gay Christian identifies with what it means to be gay: to want to have sex with someone of the same sex (an abomination): "which pierced his (Jesus') heart." It is what Evangelical pastors should proclaim when addressing same-sex attraction. In this episode, I mentioned a series that I've recorded: "The Gay Christian. The Upside-Down Kingdom Bible. And Preston Sprinkle." The Upside-Down Kingdom Bible, packaged in the NIV, contains commentaries by Preston Sprinkle on gender and sexuality from the unbiblical and heretical perspectives of the gay Christian and sexual orientation (a Sigmund Freud invention); Sprinkle is the president of The Center for Faith, Sexuality, and Gender. If you are an Evangelical pastor, I implore you to check out those episodes and unpack Sprinkle's commentaries with your church - to protect them from falling prey to them. Tragically, many evangelicals already have, including pastors and elders. I highly recommend purchasing "A Year of Puritan Devotional Readings, Voices from the Past". Also, please go to YouTube and access Jared Moore's unpacking of Sprinkle's heresies.

This episode takes you through Romans 8, a chapter that, perhaps more than any other in the New Testament, unpacks the identity of a born-again believer in Christ: who they were before being born again and who they are now. If you are born again and identify yourself as a gay Christian, I pray that this episode will lead you to repent of it and bury it for good. If you are an Evangelical pastor and have fallen prey to the idea of the gay Christian, I pray that you will remove it from your church. More than that: from the pulpit, expose that the idea of the gay Christian insults Jesus and His finished work on the cross, even if it loses membership. If you are a gay affirming pastor or a pastor "outed" as gay, I pray that Romans 8 will lead you to repent and consider if you are born again. I am not being very nice, am I? Now is the time to trade "nice" for biblical truth, and my admonition based in God's love: His call to repentance and to experiencing Romans 8. That is "true" love! I think of it like this: "God does not want to spend eternity without you." Check out: "Compassion that Coddles, Deceives, and Imprisons...Compassion that Convicts is Grounded in Truth and Transforms. Do you Know the Difference?" Also: "The Gay Christian. The Upside-Down Kingdom Bible. And Preston Sprinkle." Election, God choosing people for heaven, is often a hot point of controversy. I've been there - vehemently opposing election. Not anymore. YouTube videos about election published by Banner of Truth and under the name Johanthan Edwards were the reason. Please check them out.

This episode is taken from "How I Learned to Deal with Same-Sex Attraction Biblically and all Desires of the Flesh" - a series. I explain that after years of struggling with same-sex attraction and praying to be made obedient, like a dog chasing its tail, the Holy Spirit opened my eyes to what is true of all born-again believers in Jesus: the moment we were born gain/from above), the Holy Spirit equipped us to walk in obedience unto God (2 Peter 1:3). My life has never been the same, and I share it with you - praying it will benefit your walk with the Lord. From my heart to yours, Dennis

I recorded this episode on July 9th and referred to scriptures that tell born-again believers in Christ that they stand in grace without my naming them exactly. Today, is July 10th, and here are they are: "Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have obtained our introduction by faith into the grace in which we stand; and we exult in hope of the glory of God" (Romans 5: 1-2). Looking for the grace that is already ours opens the door to anger at God for not experiencing its transformative power when we want to change and obey God, only to fail at it. And it led me to "throw in the towel" and live as a gay man for seven years. Check out those episodes. Please note: We experience transformative grace when we walk in obedience. Because many born-again believers do not know how to walk in obedience, I recorded this podcast to share how I learned to do it (Galatians 5:16). Check out: "How I Learned to Deal with Same-Sex Attraction Biblically." Understanding Hebrews 10:14 was instrumental.
