Don't Ask....Don't Tell. Good Policy?

Sadly, I never experienced such a miracle although I strived mightly to do so. And you are correct, most Christians have no idea.

I find myself catching a peak every so often and pray God forgives me. Sometimes a lovely young lady talks to me and I can't help but have a few thoughts fly through my mind that I repent of. More often, I'll see women walking around the airport where I work and catch myself "checking them out". Then I feel guilty and pray God forgives me. I don't chase women down and try to seduce them. But... I can't ditch my opposite gender attraction.

You pray for me... I'll pray for you.

And I cannot ditch my same gender attraction.

I believe there are some spirits stronger than others, and I truly believe that the spirit of homosexuality is one if not the strongest spirit I have seen to be conquered.

Thank you. I have heard this before. In fact, I have been told I was demon possessed. Let me tell that was a real moral booster. Not.

Please, if you ever find yourself in a situation where you are ministering to a gay person, be very mindful of what you say and how you say it. You may be the last Christian they ever talk to.
