Men Who've Chosen To Pursue Sexual Relations With Other Men Have Been Sold A Bill Of Goods

The Remarkably Successful 7-Point Plan from 40 Years Ago to Normalize Homosexuality

Besides these bullet points, there're two (somewhat related) technological shifts that have played a massive role in not just normalizing sexual relations between the same sex but perpetuating them.

1.  Readily available (online) gay pornography

2.  Social media

-------------------------

Men who experience same-sex attraction typically embrace the trappings of western culture wholeheartedly.  In other words, if it involves a screen, they're onboard.  Perhaps it's due to the self-loathing they experience whereas screen time serves as a massive distraction.  

Online gay porn, within the wider world of porn, is the fakest.  Typically, men who participate therein aren't remotely attracted (sexually or otherwise) to other men.  Instead, these are men who exhibit the physical appearance / mannerisms / swagger that's attractive to same-sex attracted males (minority viewership).  From there, they're paid handsomely to disparage their handsome bods, in front of digital cameras.  The abuse of erection drugs then enable the homo-lust illusion.  

Watching gay porn, particularly whilst a child, will seriously fuck up a youngster's sense of reality.  As such, normalization of the abnormal ensues.

-------------------------

Same-sex attracted men have broken sexualities.  And this is true of every sinner that's ever lived / will ever live on this planet.  We, as a whole, are a fallen people.  In the past, there was no convenient means for same-sex attracted individuals to relationally connect.  Hence, their minority status / isolation protected / chastened their virginity, so to speak.  

The Internet changed all of that.  For the worse.  

Homosex is typically intensely pleasurable / forbidden fruit.  Light the match (particularly at a youthful age) and the heat / blaze tends to consume.  Especially so when the experience is akin to bringing two "fateful souls" together for a night(s) of passion.

I've seen these illicit, depraved junctures described as deeply religious milestones within same-sex attracted individual's lives.  

-------------------------

What's the lesson here?

If you're same-sex attracted, first & foremost, put yourself on a very short leash.

The less screens, the better.  The most antiquated / dated tech, the better.  Sentinel software (like Covenant Eyes) is mandatory.  Incorporate it into your life as tightly as you do your most cherished routine.  

In closing, embrace contrarianism.  Look at those around you who're similarly same-sex attracted and live your life COMPLETELY OPPOSITE.  All the while, pray for everyone.  Serve humbly.  And wait expectantly for that day when you'll be meeting Jesus face-to-face.  Hope of glory is more potent than any false narrative / yarn Satan can weave.

The Captain's Log: Notes from the Path

Growing in Love A Poem by Chuck DeGroat I grew up in a world where being right eclipsed being faithful. Where factions and fences stood taller than following Jesus, Where desire was shameful, impulse was suspect, anxiety was sin, and the answer was a single word—no.   I was formed in a system where correctness outweighed character, where formulations of atonement mattered more than the fruit of love, where doctrinal precision left discipleship gasping for air. We debated whether our neighbor was elect while forgetting to love them.   We honored beliefs but ignored the world’s ache. We spoke of God’s justice but kept our hands clean of injustice. We drew lines in the sand, and called it holiness. Certainty reigned; humility was lost.   And God? God looked less like a loving parent and more like an anxious warden. I didn’t know how to love myself. I didn’t know how to love the world. I didn’t know how to love God. So I began to grow up.   Not by grasping tighter, but by letting go. By following Jesus instead of fleeing heresy. By trusting my heart’s deep currents instead of condemning its depths. By confessing the sins not just of self, but of systems. By crossing the lines love demands, rather than guarding the lines fear draws.   I’m still learning— how to love, how to follow, even how to believe. I’m dying, day by day, to what I was told would save me but only ever shamed me. And I am discovering— Jesus’s yoke is easy. His burden, light. That rest is possible after a life of reactivity.   To grow up, you must unlearn everything first. You must embrace what you once exiled, both in the world and within your own soul. You must look up, and see the Father’s arms—open wide— even as you’re still clutching your last defense of being right. You must let love reach your body, especially when your body has lived locked and armored.   You must see: All is love. All is love. And all will finally be resolved in love.

Great North, Eh?: The Canadian Retreat

Twenty-one brothers from Canada and the US join together outside of Belleville, Ontario for a weekend of authenticity and connection.

Aaron Porter challenged us to move past artificial forms of hope and find our unveiled hope in Christ and true authenticity. Beyond being a great weekend in a beautiful place, all of us hosers hope it will be a launching pad for further great things for Samson in Canada.

Choosing To Not Be Bitter / Jaded In Spite Of Being Read (& Tremendously Scarred By) The Riot Act

I had the privilege to delve into volunteer work in my early 30s (20+ years ago).  This volunteer leadership position that I was appointed to was far more demanding / intimidating than I ever could have imagined it would be, and much of that challenge centered around the individuals I was tasked to serve alongside (we were all appointed simultaneously / I knew none of these older men).

About three years into my volunteered position tenure, tension between myself and another volunteer had reached a fever pitch.  As such, that tension reached its inevitable conclusion whilst having to confront him regarding some questionable funds' (organizational) usage.  And that's when I was read the riot act (thankfully I wasn't alone with this colleague when this lambasting occurred).  And when I say I was read the riot act, I'm talking expertly / with zero restraint.  I remember feeling afterwards as if I'd been fire hosed down with gasoline prior to my colleague lighting a match.  

There's a current phrase for this:  scorched earth.  As such, any semblance of remaining relationship was completely burned up after this 10–15-minute deluge of spite.

-------------------------

A few years back, I surprisingly encountered my former volunteer colleague.  We eventually spoke politely (as subsequent encounters occurred), and I was hopeful for some sort of potential reconciliation.  Choosing to not be jaded / bitter was the best position to take. 

Unfortunately, today, I'm again having to face down this same man due to me, once again, stepping up to volunteer (identical organization).  He's already made it very clear that the calendared rendezvous itself is a huge waste of his time / energy.  

Thankfully, once again, I won't be alone during this juncture.

-------------------------

What's clear to me as I head into this is the following:  This man is allergic to Rob and likely always will be.  And there's nothing I can do about that.

Therefore, I must minimize as much as possible during this meeting.  How?

I'm so grateful to be serving today alongside some excellent co-volunteers who're supportive and not at all naive / easily swayed (they've each been around the block).  Ultimately, my plan is less of Rob and more of them.

But my secret weapon is to remain hopeful about this situation.  And it is a situation.  I truly know nothing about the inner workings of this man and do not pretend to.  That being said, I'm older / wiser.  And though scars remain, my dignity is intact.  And that's what's most important to me.  

Some relationships barrel towards ending badly.  Very, very badly.  Nonetheless, as a Christian, in particular, be mindful of the approach you choose to take therein.  You have a witness to first & foremost protect.
