Final thoughts on the Nashville Statement

Honestly, I feel sorry for the people who signed the Nashville Statement, in ways that I can't even begin to express. They've imagined a god who is small and petty and made themselves more like it through their worship.

It's not that they consider male-on-male sex to be a sin, it's the way they have elevated it to become the Sin before all Sin, the one that warrants special attention, the one that must be guarded against before all others, and all the while the wall is breached, the enemy has poured through the walls, and the city has been taken.

They could have spoken against racism, against the seduction of wealth and power, against the dangers of polarization and division, against cruelty, child abuse, divorce, domestic violence and so much more, but instead they focused on this.

There are some very real and very personal demons bedeviling these guys, and hope they get the help they need.
