When I saw today's headline, "Ted Haggard Now 'Completely Heterosexual'," I confess..even though it should/could be true (and technically is true according to 1 Cor 6:9-11)...it plunged me into discouragement. Knowing that unless Haggard is radically different than eleven out of ten others who have travelled this road; the "complete" healing has not happened so quickly.
Serving on the board of a wonderful sex-addiction recovery ministry (chime in with an opinion below, Russ), watching the history of this exposure , and just knowing too much, this headline may well be an answer to my prayer; but I fear it is my worst fear: Haggard will declare himself healed and jump back into full-time ministry too soon..
Sigh...click the headline and keep praying..Maybe I'll feel better after reading the article, could've been an overly-dramatic headline...
I do believe, help my unbelief ..
In the meantime, read the book I hope Ted has:
Welcome! You have accidentally reached the blog of a heteroclite follower of Jesus: dave wainscott. I'm "pushing toward the unobvious" as I post thinkings/linkings re: Scripture, church and culture. Hot topics include: temple tantrums, time travel, sexuality/spirituality, U2kklesia, role of the pastor, God-haunted music/art..and subversive videos like these.
Okay, i read the article and i do feel better
