Who are you following – a Thief or a Shepherd? Are you being led to heaven or to the slaughter house?
The video below was produced by Pastor Tom Brock. Pastor Brock’s website can be accessed HERE. His YouTube Page is HERE. We recommend reading his article My Struggle With Same Sex Attraction to fully appreciate how brave and faithful this man is to God’s word.
Excerpt:
I have struggled with homosexual temptation most of my life. By the grace of God I have always been celibate but the struggle for me has been intense. Sadly, the battle was also with my own denomination. In my 22 years as a pastor in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America I spoke at church conventions for the Biblical standard of celibacy for those with same sex attraction. Sadly in 2009 the ELCA adopted a more liberal view and began ordaining practicing homosexuals. I have left the ELCA but I continue in my television ministry to uphold the truth that homosexual behavior is sin, and the fact that I struggle with this temptation does not give me license to practice the behavior.
