Author: Steve Jungkeit There are ways of embracing risk and passion and allowing the church to speak in ways that aren't determined by the mass media marketplace. Think outside of the box for there is no limit to what might be done with the proclamation that the presence of God is in our lives.

Author: Elaine Phenomenal grow (again!) across all denominations. Clearly the Holy Spirit is at work and "Rainbow Revival" is breaking out. For all the details - where the growth took place, which denominations are numerically at the forefront of this movement? This report has it all.
The Prodigal Son is Coming Home Author: Len van den Berg It's time for the gay community to come home... and the Lord said: "I will have mercy upon her that had not obtained mercy; and I will say to them that were not my people, Thou art my people; and they shall say, Thou art my God." 2006 is a time of transition, a time of movement back to our Father's House.
Author: Elaine A year marked by growth across almost all the denominations with new denominations being added all the time. How many new churches were added this year? How are these churches spread across the various denominations? It's all here.
Some Historical Perspective on Equality Movements Author: Bruce Hahne, More Light Presbyterians Does it seem like the struggle to end anti-gay bias within the church is taking an inordinate amount of time? If we look at civil rights movements that predate ours, we gain some valuable insight and realize that the struggle is rarely over in a year or two. It may take generations.
Author: Bruce Lowe Bruce, a retired straight Baptist minister, blesses us with an excellent and thought provoking article on this subject. Link takes you to the introduction which is found in the "Gay and Christian?" section of the site along with the rest of Bruce's fine series.
Author: Chad Taylor Prophecy given by Chad Taylor back in 2004 concerning many things we would begin to see unfold in 2005. A portion of the prophecy pertains to the homosexual community.

Get Over the Rainbow Series - Separation of Church and State Author: Scott Redmond Legislation that attempts to prevent gays (GLBT) from enjoying the same rights as everyone else based on the religious beliefs of some is in direct conflict with the principle of separation of church and state which has been the hallmark of our country for over 200 years.
Author: Len van den Berg Evangelism and the importance of the corporate anointing.

The Bible, Christianity, and Homosexuality Author: Justin Cannon A closer look at the clobber passages some use against homosexuals.
Author: Elaine In three years time, God has opened up almost as many church doors to the gay and lesbian community as had been opened in the previous thirty years combined. This has occurred during some of the worst anti-gay sentiment we have seen since the inception of the gay Christian movement some thirty odd years ago.
Author: Elaine 1 Thess 1:5 (NIV) "… our gospel came to you not simply with words, but also with power, with the Holy Spirit and with deep conviction.”
Author: Elaine Why the Church is 'missing' it and is growing further away from the heart and soul of God's Word and towards a gospel that preaches intolerance and discrimination? Judgment is coming, but it will start first with the Church.
Author: Len van den Berg We are living in a time of transition, both individually and corporately as the Church.
Author: Linda Campbell Marshall From biblical times many in the religious community have feared change and have sought to extinguish anything foreign or different. This pattern has repeated itself over and over again throughout Church history.
I am the Voice of One Calling Out in the Desert Author: Blyth We need to ask ourselves a rather ncomfortable question. Are we willing to say what God has asked us to say, are we willing to do what God has asked us to do, even if it is unpopular, going completely against what people want to hear or see? Are we willing to be the voice in the wilderness calling, "Prepare the way of the Lord?"
Author: Don Milam Jesus is God's first Word and last Word to mankind. Jesus came to heal, bless, encourage and bring home. He is calling each of us to follow in His footsteps and become an army of servants, ministering God's love and grace to all.
Author: Rev. Anne D.Kear Truly God is with us. No matter the circumstances in the world today, God is with us. What does God want from us? God wants us to open our eyes, to hear the angels in unexpected voices, to go see the Savior of the world.
Red vs. Blue States and Prophecy Author: Elaine An interesting correlation between prophetic words spoken over the Body of Christ as a whole over the last 10+ years and recent prophecy specifically addressed to the gay community.
Author: Blyth We need to stop and listen to God before we do something rash and step out of His will, hurting ourselves and others in the process.

USA Election and God's Portion for our Lives Author: Pamela White "My precious children, the distress of this moment will pass. Know that you are close to my heart and that my purposes for you have not been sidelined... The change of earthly government indicates a season change for you as well...."
