“I just ran across Graham Moore’s Oscar acceptance speech from last night, described by The Huffington Post to be the night’s most moving speech. With Graham Moore, I resonate: Stay weird, stay different. But I would add: don’t stay in sin. Acknowledge that you are a sinner in need of saving. Believe that Christ paid for your sins in dying …

“Our gay, ‘married’ neighbors are in sin and alienated from God, but they are still His image bearers and because of that they possess a dignity that is worthy of our love and respect. They are fatally sick, dead in their sins, hostile to God and willfully serving a master (Satan) that hates and violently opposes us (the church), but …

“Intolerance. Hatred. Bigotry. Oppression. Violation of human rights. Religious extremism. Evil. These are words that I see used by Americans, both gay and straight, to describe the Church’s stance on sexuality, everyday.

Yes, you are a sinner and yes, you have sinned against your kids… and yes, you do need forgiveness for that — and you have it fully …

“I get angry because of stories about kids like [six year-old transgender boy] Ryland. Angry at people. Angry as sin. Angry at Satan.
