Yes, I Am Still a Christian

I am a disciple of Christ — It seems the voices around me are growing ever louder. From the one side, it’s “You can’t be LGBTQ+ and a Christian! Pride is a sin!” From the other side, it’s “Why would you want to associate yourself with a group that has caused so much pain and suffering? …

He is miffed she won’t respond to his rebuke — How dare she? Back in December, Larry Tomczak, Christian Post Op-Ed Contributor, wrote a rebuke to Amy Grant for having the gall to host a lesbian wedding on her property.

Psalm 129 — A Gilt Facade
