Spiritual not Religious Revival ... Jim Swilley

I've been listening to Jim Swilley a minister in Georgia.  A couple of months ago he came out to his congregation as a gay man.  His wife had know this before they were married.  Because of his religious upbringing he had kept this part of himself under tight lock and key.  Never strayed from his vows. Married twice, and with 4 children, he had built a ministry based on the word of God, the Bible.  To all the world the appearance of the perfect Christian family.  Several months ago he and his wife were divorced.  Not because of any indiscretion, but rather at the urging of his wife, who believed that though they taught a message of being real, they themselves were not living up to this  mandate. She believed that God wanted him to reveal himself for who he really was, a gay minister who spoke the word of truth as given by God.  Rather Bold assumption.  But, and here is the kicker, she was right.

Bishop Swilley, finally came out when he heard of the many GLBT youth committing suicide because of bulling.  He wanted them to know not only does it get better, but that there is a spiritual life to be had filled with blessings and grace from the Lord Jesus Christ.

I'm not going to tell his story, you can find it at:   A Real Message for Real People   This and other videos are available, they share a secret that should never have been a secret.
God Loves Everyone Unconditionally.
There is a movement sweeping across the Nations, God is for everyone, just as we are.  I believe a Revival (renewal, taking us back to the way it was meant to be,  re-newing our acquaintance with our spiritual side, that part of connected to, actually a part of God) is sweeping through the lives of the most unlikely of vessels. The GLBT Christians.  I believe a Revival not seen sense the time of Christ is about to blow the Christian world apart, to be reunited as a body of all Gods creation.  I am so excited to know that I live in a time when the Christ will be revealed as never before.

The word Christian means "Christ like".  It does not mean judge, and executioner.  Jesus said there are two commandments I give you.“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. ³⁸ This is the first and greatest commandment. ³⁹ And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself. ⁴⁰ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.  Matthew 22:38-40 NIV  Just 2 commandments.  Leviticus isn't part of those nor are the other verses used by some Christians, those verses are like a millstone around the necks of people searching for the God that said he loves us (warts and all). 

1. Matthew 18:6
   [ Causing to Stumble ] “If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in me—to stumble, it would be better for them to have a largemillstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.
   Matthew 18:5-7  
2. Mark 9:42
   [ Causing to Stumble ] “If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in me—to stumble, it would be better for them if a large millstone were hung around their neck and they were thrown into the sea.
   Mark 9:41-43
3. Luke 17:2
   It would be better for them to be thrown into the sea with a millstone tiedaround their neck than to cause one of these little ones to stumble.
   Luke 17:1-3
