On my way to class tonight, this song started playing from my iPod. I thought I'd listen to the whole 21st Century cd. Apparently not, because this is now my new favorite song. It's so catchy. I love the tune and the lyrics. I think it has a rock SLASH Broadway sound to it. I can imagine this being sung in the middle of Les Mis on stage.

Ray Boltz "comes out"
Read about it at this blog.
I have to say, the comments on the blog don't sit right with me. I'll still listen to songs like "Watch the Lamb" and "Thank You." Ok, no I won't, but not because Ray Boltz is gay; rather because the songs are not in my range of taste anymore. I don't know the lifestyle of every singer of every song I jam. I don't think I need to. Listening to someone's music doesn't say, "I agree with the way this person lives his life." It says, "I like their music," or "I like the message of the music."
I don't think listening to Ray's old music says, "I agree with Ray Boltz now."

Some people have said things like, "I can't believe a Christian could fall so hard like this!" My response:
We as Christians are very judgmental on other Christians who have sin issues. I think Ray Boltz should have been able to confess his desires long ago without having the worry of being judged, but apparently, he did not feel this way. It festered over the years, the sin progressed, and finally, it was easier for him to pretend it isn't sin rather than feel the immense guilt he has had over the years.
I think it's so important for us as Christians to be non-judgmental, not because sin is ok, but because it allows for Christians to confess their faults one to another.
