This is a topic I have been thinking a lot about lately, and I don't have my thoughts together enough to really write on it yet. However, I wanted to share a quote that has been going around the blogosphere lately from Jay Bakker (son of Jim and Tammy Faye) a church planter in the US. Here is an example of what can happen when we give ultimate authority to our own "personal revelations" from God.
"The more I follow grace, the more I'm drawn to him [God], the more I'm willing to stand up for people being persecuted," says Jay today. "This sounds so churchy, but I felt like God spoke to my heart and said '[homosexuality] is not a sin.'"
1 Corinthians 6:9-10 ESV:
"Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God."
