Meet the Parises

Have you guys seen "meet the Robinson's"? We saw it last night and all I could think of the whole time was-- Scott Paris.

What do you do with this?

Just had a conversation with a friend who is trying to minister to a man in his church. As the man has expressed interest in joining the church, he asks my friend "do you know my story"? When the "story" comes out, this man who has been saved and baptized had an operation to change her anatomical construction into that of a man. What would you do as a leader of this church as you discover these details of the past?

BTW- this man has exressed sorrow and repentance over having this operation, is not pro-transgender or pro-homosexuality. He has said that his counsel to other people and his own worldview is now squarely on the basis of the Scripture.

PS -- I believe that this situation is in the same "family" of situations as ministry to a convicted sex offender in your congregation.

What Does God Want from Me?

"Could it be that for an hour, a day, a week, or even a year, God might have something more important for us to accomplish than just ticking off more steps towards the fulfillment of our goals?"
