But as a property owner of Orlando, I wouldn’t rent to someone who is gay any more than I would rent to a person who is a practicing witch.

I know Christ. And that is secure. And I think that is something that actually helps believers pursue his holiness, when they don’t have to live in that fear or that life of condemnation wondering whether God’s going to yank His relationship from them.

So to pick and choose that once you come to Christ you’re never going to struggle in those areas again or never fall prey to stumbling in those ways again, I just, I don’t think we can assure that.

This is the church’s job. This is who we are as the body of Christ to reach out to people who are in need, who are struggling, who need to be discipled and to pursue Christ in their life. That’s good news and the church should offer it wholeheartedly to anyone.

I think that’s really where we need to be more consistent as believers. Exodus will do that for people who come to us for help. But we will encourage the church to do that in general for anyone and everyone who’s seeking to be a mature believer in Christ.

My beliefs and my desires have changed. They have come into alignment with who he is and who he created you to be. And that’s a wonderful thing and that’s what we will always offer at Exodus.

Let me be clear that I’m not God so I can’t tell you who is and isn’t going to heaven. What I know about my relationship with Christ is that as a believer, I am eternally secure. I gave my heart to Christ and that gift of salvation is irrevocable.

Someone’s always calling for my resignation. It’s nothing new. It’s something that’s been part of my tenure at Exodus over the last decade plus. So he can add his voice to the chorus of others whether it’s gay activists or now a New Testament professor.

I think it’s hypocritical and inconsistent for us to attack this one group of people over any other group of people that are within our churches today. If we were talking about one of their sin issues we wouldn’t have addressed this at all. I find that hypocritical and inconsistent.

Homosexuality is not a genetic predisposition. If someone is happy living that way, you can't force them to come out of it. But we give hope to thousands like myself.
