I’ve had many woman ask me how they could possibly cope after finding out the devastating news that their husband had been using pornography, having an affair or feeling homosexual attractions. These grieving wives have often felt there was no place to turn to talk safely and openly about what they were dealing with. Family, friends, and career concerns have been some of the reasons why.

Q & A: Of Sexual Attraction and Spiritual Maturity

Randy Thomas — Tue, 27 Apr 2010 17:28:04 +0000

I got the following is the bulk of a message from one of my facebook friends:

May I ask you a question? And some advice? You said in your “Responding to Hate Mail” Blog that you have homosexual temptations, but your orientation has shifted to a great degree toward healthy heterosexuality? I have been celibate before and after I became a Christian. However, I have absolutely no feelings for the opposite sex through out my whole life, and I still don’t. Is this unusual?

New Study: Gay People Suffer Increased Rates of PTSD

It was a bar in Arlington Texas. I was there until closing. I was running around with a DJ at the time and we were headed to Dallas for an after hours club/party. We poured out of the club and everyone was standing around talking about who was fit to drive. Then a truckload of men pulled up shooting their rifles into the air and screaming homophobic slurs threatening to kill us. Some of them started jumping out of the truck. One of the guys took off running down the street. Several of the men followed yelling, laughing and shooting their guns in the air. We all scattered. I pushed my DJ friend down in between two cars. He couldn’t get underneath one so I just wedged my body against his as close to the car as possible.

Never Forget Christ

Randy Thomas — Mon, 26 Apr 2010 12:55:30 +0000

It is the incessant turmoil of the world, the constant attraction of earthly things which takes away the soul from Christ. While memory too well preserves a poisonous weed, it suffereth the rose of Sharon to wither. Let us charge ourselves to bind a heavenly forget-me-not about our hearts for Jesus our Beloved, and, whatever else we let slip, let us hold fast to Him.

Irish Times Quotes Alan Chambers

Randy Thomas — Thu, 22 Apr 2010 18:49:07 +0000

Chambers admits that the faith-based approach advocated by Exodus isn’t a miracle cure: “While some do absolutely see an eradication over time of their same-sex struggles, most see a lessening. Some see no change whatsoever. In my case, I did experience a great shift in my attractions . . . and when I met my wife, Leslie, the connection I felt with her was unmistakable – a deep unselfish love, very different than the selfish, self-focused lust/love I’d had for the men I’d fallen for.”

Gay Father + Christian Son = “Reconciliation” The Movie

Randy Thomas — Wed, 21 Apr 2010 13:49:22 +0000

RECONCILIATION is a movie that focuses on the broken relationship of a son, GRANT, and his father, JEFF, who haven’t spoken in 24 years. As Jeff doesn’t have long to live his last request is to see his son. Grant (with the persuasion of his wife) reluctantly goes to see his father, not sure what to expect or how to react. Jeff is gay. Grant is a Christian. Their two worlds collide and as they get to know one another, really for the first time, they’re surprised by what they find…love and forgiveness.
