The Church & Homosexuality - CORRECTION
So I shared this post with my mentor and he corrected me on something.
It seems that I have believed something I've heard from the pulpit all my life that actually isn't true.
He asked me if Jesus ever intentionally offended people and I answered that he offended religious people but was not offensive to others.
Busted. That's just not true. Jesus intentionally offended people all the time - from his disciples down to the Gentile woman who was begging for healing ("even dogs get crumbs from the table").
So, what it comes down to, is this... we must be led by Holy Spirit in our dealings with everyone. There will be times when we may be directed to offend by confronting issues in people's lives. BUT, no matter what, there is a very important heart issue involved.
It's not about NOT offending. It's about NOT sinning. We must speak the truth in love - it's always about what's in our hearts.

Hi Eric...
I've been reading your blog. Deep revelations...
Are you part of IHOP? I spent a week out there last year and have been praying about going back sometime for an extended visit.
Oh, and how did you find my blog? I didn't know anyone other than a few friends was actually reading it... ;)
Blessings!
Amey
Hey Amey,
I found your blog through technorati.com (blog search engine). I think I was doing a search on Graham Cooke and your blog came up. I've thoroughly enjoyed your postings.
Yes, I am part of IHOP in KC. You could call me an "Architectual Missionary" on the IHOPKC Missions Base. I am currently seeking the Lord on the next steps of the journey He has me on.
May you be abundantly blessed as you walk with the Lord. I will continue to check your blog frequently.
Eric
