At President Bush's news conference yesterday, he was asked the following question:

Since General Pace made his comments - they got a lot of attention - about homosexuality, we haven't heard from you on that issue.

Do you, sir, believe that homosexuality is immoral?

What did our "born-again christian" president have to say? Was it, "It is not what I believe that is important. It is what God believes. And He has made it plain in His Word that homosexuality is immoral. Leviticus 18:22 says, 'You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination.' And in 20:13 He says, 'If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death; their blood is upon them.' Paul said, in his letter to the Romans, 'For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error.' Paul again said in his first letter to the Corinthians, 'Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.' You see, the Bible is very clear that homosexuality is immoral, but there is hope in Jesus Christ. If a homosexual will repent of his sin and turn in faith to Jesus Christ, he will be forgiven for his sin and become a new creation, just like all of us other liars, drunkards and sinners who have turned to Jesus." That's what he said, right?

Not exactly. After a bit of stuttering, he said,

"I will not be rendering judgment about individual orientation.

I do believe the don't ask/don't tell policy is good policy."

Rather sounds like another optimistic Pelagian, huh?
While his comments are definitely disappointing, its so easy for us to do the same thing, isn't it? So what should we do?
First, as always, pray for God to give you a spine.
Then, get to know God's Word. Read your Bible regularly. The Puritans read between 10 and 15 chapters every day. How are you doing? Right now, I'm trying to read through the Bible in 90 days. I'm in the middle of Deuteronomy, and, while--yes--it is very challenging, I'm really being blessed. It goes a long, long way toward helping you to think Biblically. Okay, I just realized how silly that was to say -- it's the only way to think Biblically. You have to have the Bible in you.
Also, don't let it be academic. That's my personal struggle. Remember it is alive. Remember that the God of Abraham and Isaac and Moses is your God, too. So, let me restate that first step: let God be your spine, and walk in His strength.
