Many thoughts have gone through my mind as more and more individuals, specifically Christians, are coming to terms with who they are. Most recently Trey Pearson from Christian rock band Everyday Sunday announced to the world his 20 year struggle with being Gay.  This married, with kids, Christian rocker.  Hmmm.  The believer in me was angry.  I shook my head in disbelief.  What is going on in this world?  And as the kudos and tweets of support poured in I wanted to jump into the conversation and ask this young man: "So, does this mean you are going to leave your wife to be with men or......."

I was completely confused.  Now I understand why my kids are as well and why homosexuality is not such a big deal to them. I get it.

You see, God in his sovereignty gave us the ability to choose.  He also gave us over to our desires. Don't look for scripture here because I am not some all knowing bible thumper.  I do know what the word says and will list scripture references later.

Many people always say that being Gay is a lifestyle choice.  I have even said this myself.  In some ways I do believe it is a choice, not so much the attraction to the same sex but the decision to act on that said attraction. That is what I believe the crux of this phenomenon.

I once read an essay by a Gay Christian who spoke on this very thing.  It was insightful and made me truly understand the struggle with sin.  The sin or supposed sin is not the issue, it's whether we act on it that I believe is what is important to God.  Why do I say this? Because I'm a liar.  I've cheated. I've had 2 abortions. Does that mean that God has condemned me to hell? No. Because everyday, is a struggle to do what I feel is right by God.  I try harder not to lie or cheat or any other thing that is not God-like.
