Do everything out of love

Reality Check!! Dustin you are being ridiculous...
Vain glory, passion, and emotion got in the way today. :/
Soulforce, a Christian Gay Lesbian advocacy group, came to Baylor this week to promote their agenda. They think that the bible supports homosexuality, and that they should not be considered sinners. Well if you know me at all, then you would understand that I DO NOT understand the homosexual lifestyle. Feminine men bother me more than your average bear. I'm a scruffy dude, who wears shirts without sleeves, considers collard greens as his favorite food, and thinks Dixie is the national anthem. In my mind, men aren't supposed to take the back seat in marriage, men aren't supposed to match their clothes, men should not play flute, and men SHOULD marry women!

Things I also dislike- Ignorant Christians! They do lots and lots of damage..
About a year ago, I honestly couldn't tell you why homosexuality was "bad". I heard that the bible said no, and my conscience said no, so I went on an investigation to know why I believed what I believed. I read books. Crazy books. I even read one called Gays Under Grace.. (that was an embarrassing trip to the library) I wanted to see why they believed, what they believed so I could properly refute it. After about a month of study, I had formulated an opinion based on scripture, as to why God condemns it, and how to help someone defend the bible in today's culture.

So with all of this head knowledge, what was I ready to do?!?!?! Convert these people cause I loved them, cared for their souls and wanted them in heaven one day? No. I'm sure it was an underlying thought, but what I really wanted to do was walk down there and whoop them with some scriptures, tear up their isogetical thinking, and make them run home with their tales between their legs.

Pathetic huh? Yeah it is.

My natural instinct reared its ugly head. My first thoughts were not to love these people. Love was very much an after thought.
So how is Dusty doing on this whole love thing? Got some work to do ;)

Please pray for me this week! Pray that I would use this head knowledge in a loving manner as I meet with them on campus, and pray that I would continue to be in the refiners fire.

Dusty-

P.S. I'm starting to realize how poor of a writer I am now that I type things out and re-read them.
So much for my book idea :p
