Vogue- I REMEMBER YOU!! you are 'wayne' from So. Cal. Your wife attended Master's College, and you claim to know John MacArthur personally! You posted many comments from the Aug. 12, 2008 story concerning Obama failing to win over Evangelicals. You defend a man who is for the killing of babies, and you verbally lashed out in an absolutely horrible way to all who disagreed. Your posts were mean spirited, you viciously insulted not only me, but also Sherry C. and girl from Australia. You were rebuked by Lurker and Micheal Hranek. You eventually apologized, but apparently it was not sincere. Your hateful sarcasm and belittlement of others has not changed, as evidenced by your attack on me. Saying 'I'm sorry' is meaningless unless the Holy Spirit brings one to Godly sorrow, repentance will not be genuine. I pray Fredrick will take the sound biblical advice from JJ, Max,Banned, IDH and myself. I stand by my post, you did NOT clarify secular professional counseling from biblical in your post. I will not 'go there' with you again Wayne, you would be wise to move on. |

Fredrick- let me tell you this, not long ago, I was a sexually immoral, perverted sodomite. I knew the sin I chose to act upon was dead wrong, but I SUPPRESSED the truth. Whenever my conscience would speak out against my abomination, I would quickly avert my attention and focus on other 'things'. I drank excessively, and was a miserable lost soul. Then God, in His timing and by His grace, bolted through my heart in dramatic fashion. A family member was stricken with a terminal illness, this was my breaking point. I was humbled before God, I cried uncontrollably, and I shouted, "O GOD, HELP ME!" He did! That was nearly six years ago. Pray for God to bring you to where you need to be, and wrestle with Him until He does so! |

Fredrick, PLEASE do not take vogue's misguided advice and seek man's solution, 'counseling'. This is a lie from the pit of hell. Your problem is the same as mine, and ALL of mankind, we have a sin nature that always steers us toward rebellion against God. We have wicked, vile hearts that are incurable {Jer. 17:9}. We have hate, sexual immorality, lust, covetousness, all within our hearts {Mark 7:20-23}. What can we do about it? We cry out to Almighty God for mercy. God, by the power of the Holy Spirit that resides in the hearts of genuine believers and through His word, will transform the new creation in Christ into the image of His Son. Please pray for discernment concerning the 'advice' given here, I would not want to have your blood on my hands, nor should anyone else here, because of 'wrong advice' given. May I suggest a wonderful book, besides the Bible, by Charles Leiter entitled, 'Justification and Regeneration'. Also, listen to solid preaching such as found here by Paul Washer and John MacArthur, to mention a few. I am not saying we do not sin, but we don't live a life characterized by sin. May the Lord God bless you and guide you. |

Max, I think we all would agree sin is a struggle for all born again believers. But, sexual sin is much more serious than calling the neighbor a 'jerk'{for example}. However, Mr. Haggard's blaming his perversion on a youthful incident is ridiculous. A thorough study on sin, and the absolute wickedness of the human heart brings clarity to his sin. Jeremiah 17:9 is a verse for all to heed, "The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked {incurably sick} who can know it?" I have studied the word 'lust', which is a desire for what is forbidden. This lust lies within the human heart. James 1:13,14 says, "When tempted, no one should say, God is tempting me, for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He tempt anyone. But each one is tempted when, BY HIS OWN EVIL DESIRE {lust}, he is dragged away and enticed". This man led himself down the path he chose, he acted upon the forbidden desires of his heart. As a former sodomite saved by God's grace, I understand ALL sin, even sexual sin, is birthed out of our very own hearts. |

There is hope, "most fundamentalist Baptist preachers will not even bother to listen to him..." This is their loss. This man preaches by the power of God, filled with the Spirit of God. He is proof God uses men [and women] who surrender to His will, and study His word diligently. Whether Bro. Washer uses the Geneva, the KJV, the NASB, the ESV, is irrelevant, God is not hindered by a translation. I do not say this to start a translation war, let's keep it a matter of personal choice and please, leave it at that! Thank you there is hope, God bless you and your family. |

Angela, God bless you! excellent post!There is hope- you said, "perhaps God will raise up in this generation another John Knox, Zwingli and Calvin who recovered the old truths and preached the sovereignty of God and repentance of sin in the world"...He has! I encourage all to listen to Paul Washer's 'the ten indictments' found here. Also, he has a study entitled 'the One True God' found at heartcrymissionary.com/resources/online_books Thus saith the Lord,"Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls" Jer. 6:16 |

Regardless of what took place prior to the election concerning the economy, etc., God has given America the leader she deserves. The 'religious right' have tried to 'control' people through the Rep. party for many years, neglecting the greater duty of proclaiming the truth, 'repent and believe in the gospel'. Under 8 years of 'Christian' Pres. Bush, we are STILL killing babies, homosexuality is spreading like the cancer that it is, sexual immorality, drugs and alcohol are ruining our young people, lost sinners everywhere are wandering around looking for purpose. And what is the 'church' upset about? Obama won! The prior things should break our hearts and cause us to proclaim truth. GOD IS IN CONTROL! We must understand that, we know Christ will return in glory...this is what we should anticipate and be looking for. There is a famine in America, the famine of the TRUTH of God's word, the good news of the gospel is scarcely heard. May all pastors step into the pulpit this coming Lord's day and preach with conviction, may truth be heard. |

Christiana, AMEN! We have complicated the gospel to the point of needing pocket study tools just to explain, we forget the Holy Spirit is the one who does the work through the word. "And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God. For I determined not to know anything among you, save Jesus Christ, and Him crucified. And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power" 1 Cor. 2:1,2,4. Many here make it routine to tear down others with their 'superior wisdom'. They would argue with a signpost! God bless you sister! |

Mike, your comment, 'sodomy isn't flourishing' could not be more wrong. I have seen with my own eyes, in the area in which I live, more and more men and women boldly professing their homosexuality. To say it isn't on the increase is to have your head in the sand. Yes, sodomy has always been around, and as we draw closer to Christ's second coming, wickedness of every kind is growing and will continue to do so. I don't base my accusations on the media, I base it on what I have seen with my own eyes. The population of my hometown is roughly 2,000 people, as is the population of most surrounding towns. Yet, homosexuality is growing like a cancer, especially within the teenage sect. I am not even talking about the gay marriage that makes national news, I am amazed at the teenagers in my area who now profess this perversion. I do not put any stock in the mainstream media, I don't even watch television, I choose not to allow that garbage in my house. |
