He has taught many people what true compassion is. It is NOT about turning your head in self righteousness at their sin, but helping them when they are down as if they had not sinned to begin with. That is true grace.

I can personally vouch for his ministry!

Due to God's Amazing Grace we can experience many blessing that are undeserved but yet due to God's elective grace we can be touched and blessed by a loving heavenly father who cares so very deeply for the crown of His creation.
The only goodness we have is what God's imputed righteousness allows us to have.

Perhaps.

But I do know of a number of former "queer haters" who have been turned around by Ray..... My dad for one.
They still hate "homosexuality" because of the destruction it causes in peoples lives, but now look at the homosexuals as lost souls needing "food, a place to stay, and some money".... Like the good Samaritan.

We can hate sin but love the sinners.
Homosexuals like anyone else are lost folks who need a saviour.
There but for the grace of God could go you or I.
To some folks it's easier to throw stones rather than throw out a lifeline.

Ahhhhh.... Ok, my mistake, but she looks like your daughter, or the recent engagement photos you posted anyways. (And I THOUGHT that things had happened a bit fast. LOL)
