Much of the conversation centers on behavior. … Continue reading White-Knuckling It

National Coming Out Day: A False Dichotomy

If you are like me, you see it all over your newsfeed: today is National Coming Out Day. It is a day when people are encouraged to “come out” as gay. I’ve read through posts by both secular LGBTQ friends, gay Christians friends, and celibate gay Christian friends.

Talking About SIN with Truth & Love

Question: Dear Tim, How do you lovingly tell your unsaved friends about their sin (especially their sinful sexual behavior)?

The Gay Agenda & the Wrong Side of Hate

Protestors. Death threats. Misleading newspaper articles.

It brings clarity … Continue reading Today I Signed the Nashville Statement

Demon Possession & the Question of Sexual Immorality

The nature of truth was my topic at a recently held apologetics conference in Phoenix, Arizona.

A Biblical Argument for Gay Rights

Recently, I have been having some good conversations with many in the gay rights movement. My friends in the LGBTQ community and their advocates often attempt to argue that homosexuality and biblical Christianity are perfectly compatible. This tactic should not be employed as it ultimately fails for several reasons referencing the New Testament alone. First, … Continue reading A Biblical Argument for Gay Rights
