Do you pray when you’re at a restaurant? Do you pray when you’re out with friends who are nonbelievers? If you don’t acknowledge Jesus in front of others, how can you expect Him to acknowledge you before God? It used to be homosexuals kept hidden (in the closet so to speak).

This past Sunday, our church went from two services to one. You’d have thought we started the next world war the way some people complained. The funny part, it was only for one Sunday. Next week, we …
