‘Ex-gay’ leader renounces
Posted in My Ministry (God's ministry through me), Relationships on 18 October, 2011 (Tuesday) | Leave a Comment »
A week or so ago an ‘ex-gay’ leader, John Smid, renounced his ministry and declared that healing in Christ ‘does not work’. Does this mean my job is defunct and that I should cease my ministry and join others like Smid? Should I too publicly express sorrow and ask forgiveness for supposedly ‘making’ other people [...]

“‘People who believe in God’, [one non-Christian] said with a derisive smirk, ‘are people who can’t get through life without a crutch’. ‘Oh’, I said. ’What’s your crutch then? What do you need to keep you going? Recognition? Admiration? Success? A-passes? Got to have a challenge to keep you stimulated? Sex? Bit of porn perhaps? [...]
Long-term gay relationships are ok?

You have a friend who is in what seems to be an exclusive long-term monogamous gay relationship, and it seems so right because it has lasted so long. Does that make it right? Here’s an answer to that question. (The man pictured on the right is former justice Michael Kirby of the High Court of [...]
Shepherding the same-sex attracted
Posted in Liberty Ministries, Redeemed Sexuality, Relationships, Sexuality, USSA on 26 September, 2011 (Monday) | Leave a Comment »
Today I gave a talk at Moore College today about how to pastor the same-sex attracted for Liberty Ministries. I was happy with it, but I see some gaps that need filling, like the need to speak more on female same-sex attraction and the extent to which people are ‘born’ with carnal desires. Here are [...]
Sloppy argument for gay marriage
Posted in Media, Relationships, Sexuality, Society on 2 September, 2011 (Friday) | Leave a Comment »
The position put forward for gay marriage in Australia by retired Australian gay judge Michael Kirby (pictured left, admiring a picture of … himself. Source: Michael Kirby.com) are very weak. According to him, if you disagree with gay marriage you are a disrespectful, barbaric, uncivilised, tyrannical, nasty, unjust bigot because you haven’t given him what [...]
Lesbian Australian Senator having baby
Posted in Family, News, Politics, Relationships, Sexuality on 9 August, 2011 (Tuesday) | Leave a Comment »
Australian senator Penny Wong (incumbent finance minister) is going to have a baby with her lesbian partner. It’s saddening that political leaders have praised this news. I very strongly agree with the response of the Rev. Fred Nile MP New South Wales Christian Democrats leader Fred Nile claimed Senator Wong was setting a bad example [...]
Siding with marriage
Posted in Family, Relationships, Sexuality, Society on 23 February, 2011 (Wednesday) | Leave a Comment »
Today I read a superbly written article on the contemporary debate on marriage ‘rights’ in Australia. What I like about it is that isn’t not obnoxiously attacking non-Christians for pushing a pro-gay agenda as much as it explores why Christians are so willing to sit back and allow changes to the definition of marrage- and [...]
Reconciliation in Relationships
Posted in Family, Relationships on 20 February, 2011 (Sunday) | 1 Comment »
At the Gospel Coalition yesterday I saw this article: Leadership means we must take the lead in reconciliation. I don’t mean that wives should never say they are sorry. But in the relation between Christ and his church, who took the initiative to make all things new? Who left the comfort and security of his [...]
