Prominent U.S. Gay Activist Now Publicly Speaking Out Against Homosexuality

By John Jalsevac

July 3, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Michael Glatze, once a rising star in the homosexual movement, having become the editor of the popular Young Gay America magazine in his early 20s, has since left the homosexual lifestyle and is now publicly speaking out against homosexuality, and encouraging other homosexuals to leave the way of life that he says “is by its very nature pornographic.”

In a powerful testimonial printed yesterday on WorldNetDaily, Glatze  publicly reveals his conversion, and chronicles his tumultuous and unhappy journey through homosexuality, to where he is today, a recovered homosexual and a Christian, eager to lead others out of the lifestyle that claimed him for so many years.

“Homosexuality, delivered to young minds, is by its very nature pornographic. It destroys impressionable minds and confuses their developing sexuality; I did not realize this, however, until I was 30 years old,” writes Glatze in the article on WorldNetDaily.

Glatze is the second prominent homosexual rights activist involved with a pro-homosexual magazine to have publicly left the lifestyle in the last year. Charlene Cothran, the founder and publisher of VENUS magazine, formerly a pro-homosexual publication, has since become a Christian, left the homosexual lifestyle, and has radically altered the nature of her magazine, changing it into a forum by which to “encourage, educate and assist those who desire to leave a life of homosexuality.”

“Although I have lived as a lesbian for my entire adult life, it is without a doubt my soul’s purpose to use my gifts to LOVINGLY share the truth about how we got here,” Cothran wrote in the first issue of the magazine dedicated to its new purpose. “How we came to be gay or lesbian, how we came to enjoy our ‘lifestyle’ and how we came to believe that this was OK with God.”

For his part Michael Glatze relates how, after years working at the very forefront of the pro-homosexual movement, he began to have increasing doubts about what he was doing with his life. This feeling heightened, he said, after reviewing his “performance” during  an appearance on the prestigious JFK JR. Forum at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government in 2005, in which he appeared as an “expert” on the pro-homosexual side.

“Knowing no one who I could approach with my questions and my doubts, I turned to God.” The young homosexual activist says that he had developed a relationship with God some time before, as a consequence of a painful illness that stemmed from the way he had been living.

“It became clear to me, as I really thought about it–and really prayed about it–that homosexuality prevents us from finding our true self within. We cannot see the truth when we’re blinded by homosexuality.”

“We believe, under that influence of homosexuality, that lust is not just acceptable, but a virtue.”

From that point onward, says Glatze, he simply began to call his homosexual desires what they were–lust–and by focusing on his truest self he was able to begin the long process of healing. “Healing from the wounds caused by homosexuality is not easy,” he says. “There’s little obvious support. What support remains is shamed, ridiculed, silenced by rhetoric or made illegal by twisting of laws…Part of the homosexual agenda is getting people to stop considering that conversion is even a viable question to be asked, let alone whether or not it works.”

Despite the immense difficulties of the transition, however, he says, “In my experience, ‘coming out’ from under the influence of the homosexual mindset was the most liberating, beautiful and astonishing thing I’ve ever experienced in my entire life.”

He concludes, “Healing from the sins of the world will not happen in an instant; but, it will happen–if we don’t pridefully block it. God wins in the end, in case you didn’t know.”

He Came To Disprove God!

Original

Several years ago a smart-looking young boy came to me and said, “Sir I am an Engineering College student. I have been reading the Bible for some time and have come to you to argue that  that God does not exist. I heard you are an apologist, and also a physicist, so you and I can have a great time talking”. I was happy to meet him, and welcomed him for a cup of coffee.

On the appointed day he visited me at my home, and was unusually eager to talk. I once again asked him whether he was sure he wanted to argue with me, and he said yes. I then asked if he would keep his conversation strictly at the scientific level, seeing that is what he said the day before. He said he would keep his arguments strictly at the scientific level, and added that this would be the appropriate approach seeing that he was an Engineering student and I that I had a physics background.

Without delay I invited him to present at least one experimental or observational evidence that disproves God. He was suddenly possessed by silence. In fact he was dumbfounded. He had read plenty of publications written against God, and thought that these are all scientific arguments, but when confronted to support his contention that he would use science to argue against the existence of God, he was unable to advance a single evidence.

He than asked me to list my reasons for belief in God, and that he would refute all of them. I asked him whether such a refutation would amount to a “scientific” proof that God did not exist. He paused for a few moments and then accepted that such refutation would not amount to a scientific proof that God does not exist.

I then reminded that right from the moment he sought me out, he had been working on the premise that he would “disprove” the existence of God using “scientific proofs”. After much silence he asked my leave for a few weeks after which he said he would surely come back to me with such arguments.

The young man never came back. I still wait for him. I wait for him in vain because nobody has proved that God does not exist, though plenty of people claim that science has disproved God. The ball still remains in the court of the so-called “rationalist”.

Church Attendance Can Result in a Long, Happy Life

Hebrews 10:25

Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

Studies show that people who attend church regularly tend to be healthier than those who don’t go to church. Now, another study shows that those who attend church regularly also live longer than those who don’t. Regular church attendance, as in the other studies, was defined as going to church at least once a week. This study was done by the Population Research Center at the University of Texas at Austin.

The data for the study began to be collected in 1987. Researchers from the Center for Disease Control interviewed 22,000 people in their homes about cancer risk factors. Then researchers from the Population Research Center studied 2,000 of those same people who had died between the original interviews in 1987 and 1995. They concluded that, on the average, those who attended church at least once a week lived seven years longer than those who didn’t. Those who never attended church lived, on the average, to be 75 years old. But those who were regular in church attendance lived to an average age of 82. Researchers say that those who were regular in their church attendance may benefit from following their church’s advice to avoid unhealthy behaviors. Further, they say, the social ties developed by regular church attenders result in close relationships with others who help monitor their health. Of course, the study could not deal with the spiritual benefits of going to church. We learn those from reading about all the gifts God promises us in His Word.

Prayer: I thank You, Lord, for all the gifts I receive from You through Your Word. Please bless and help my pastor. Amen.
