Ray Boltz, who sold about 4.5 million records before retiring from Christian music a few years ago, came out of the closet Friday to announce that he's gay.
In an interview with the gay magazine The Washington Blade, Boltz said he came out to his family and some close friends in December 2004, but only now decided to go public with the news. |

Me neither.
But look - don't get too upset about this stuff. He, like us, is only human. We are all sinners and fall short of the glory of God. I read that somewhere...
Pray for him. And pray that this confession doesn't drive more people away from Christ.

WOW...i've heard of him...some pretty powerful lyrics in his songs...(clay..I'm shocked and disgusted at your naivety)
To bad...what a punk...wasting God's talent like that.

Why shouldn't we get upset/sad/disgusted over things like this? It's scary when the day might come that we, as Christians, DON'T get upset/sad/disgusted over things like this.
I agree to pray for him. I've never heard of him either. So...:dunno: who he is.

I agree Clay BUT I've already read an article titled "Ray Boltz proves you can be gay and Christian" which is true to some point I guess. I wonder how many will now confess that they are gay and give in to their sin. :dunno:

Sure, you can be gay and be a Christian.
It's whether or not you give in to and act upon your sin is the point.

I agree. Just because we are Christian doesn't mean that we aren't attacked with temptations and sinful desires...IF anything we are hit harder than the secular, non-Christian world and our lives will always be a series of slips, trips, and falls.
He, as all of us do, needs our prayers and we can hope that the Holy Spirit will soften his heart and open his eyes to his errors..Being a sexual sin, this will likely be something he must struggle with for the rest of his life. Pray that he struggles against it rather than succumbing to it...
