Contributed by Mark H. Stevens Thd on Feb 3, 2014

Just because someone is a homosexual does not mean that we cannot love him (or her) or pray for him (her). Homosexuality is a sin and like any other sin, it needs to be dealt with in the only way possible. It needs to be laid at the cross and repented of.

The Bible, as God's word, reveals God's moral character and it shapes the morality of the Christian. The Bible has much to say about homosexuality: 1. Lev. 18:22 , "You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female; it is an abomination." 2. Lev. 20:13, "If there is a man who lies with a ...read more

I Don't Feel A Thing! (Hix)

Contributed by Jimmy Haile on Mar 20, 2014

Jesus spoke in parables, He used physical things (Seeds, Water, Light, Soil, Birth, Wedding, Wine, Bread) to explain spiritual things (Witnessing, Testimony, Spiritual Birth, Christian Life, Christian Walk). So God is going to use leprosy as a teaching tool!
