The Altar By Ray Boltz

Back


September 15, 2008: So I have gotten 100s of comments concerning Ray's coming out. I think we are all very shocked and maybe a little worried, but I had to not post most of them because they were simply too mean-spirited. When I said before I would not post mean-spirited comments concerning this, I did not mean comments saying they disagreed with his choice would not be posted. I meant I will only post comments that came with good intentions, and not from a judgemental mind. I'm not going to go into is homosexuality right or wrong, is it a choice or some gene that is built in at birth. But I will say I still love ray's music. He has sang and written some of the greatest gospel songs ever and I am scared for him and feel sorry because I can only imagine the kind of comments he's getting and a lot of people are going to shun him for this. It is okay to tell someone you do not agree with their lifestyle, or do not understand it. But I think it is VERY important to remember the scripture "hate the sin not the sinner" so if you express concern for their souls, do it with a loving heart. Do not just stick your nose up at them and say "your going to hell" because that just pushes them farther away. I've learned this the hard way. Remember that God's Love is for EVERYONE, and when he died on the cross he was doing it not only for you, but for Ray as well. What if it was your father who came out? Or your brother? your friend? You may not agree with their choice but, if your any kind of person you would still love them. How would you feel if people made the kind of comments to them that you all have been making to Ray? Bottom line, just, pray for this sitatuion that God will move and will have his way. In the meantime, some of you need to get your noses out of the air long enough to examine YOURSELVES and why you think that you are the one exception to the fact that gossiping, hatred and judging are all sins as well. *cries* the song says it all. i first heard this song when i was about 13 and it touches me even more now, now that i'm older and I have seen more darkness and I understand more what it means to "leave your burdens at the altar"
