My Wife and I Had A Fascinating Conversation This Evening...

With a man a bit older than us. He's been married for more than 30 years--but in a discussion of living in the Bay Area, he casually mentioned that he knew the place and the perversions well. He had walked away from the homosexual life when he became a Christian in 1971. It is always gratifying to meet those who have been successfully freed from bondage to sin.

There are homosexuals who can't break the bonds that hold them. I wish that I knew why. I wish that there was more known about the causes and cures. But there are men like this who have fought the battle and won. They are no different from those who have fought the battle with alcoholism, or sexual lust, or gluttony, or materialism, or hatred.

We all fight battles with sinful desires. Some people are more successful at those battles than others. But pretending that there is no sin is like pretending that there is no gravity, because it is inconvenient.
