Hi, Welcome again to another time to reason and make it straight. Are we born Homoz, Lesbians, Thieves, Liars, Gossips etc and the list goes on? Ah My answer is yes! I am certain that you have heard of Homosexual people saying this is how they were born, I find truth in their statement in this way, first, all of us are born sinners, that is by nature we sin naturally, we SIN,,, we engage in homosexuality, we engage in lies, in stealing naturally, because we are depraved and fallen. Turning on to the Bible I see Isaiah say, two things, that without choice... he was born in sin and lived among people who sinned, that is By nature he is a sinner and by default he lives in a sinful environment... but before you conclude, He has a choice but the choice will only come when God gives him the alternative, I.e the Light, and a chance to be made a new creature. Isaiah 6:5 Psalm 51:5 say more, Surely I was sinful at birth, sinful from the time my mother conceived me. Yet you desire...
I have been talking to someone this morning and, I was in the presence of many yesterday, middle aged people, with families who talked of their frustration in the leadership in Kenya and were ready to move out anytime to the west.

Today we talk to Pastors about RELATIONSHIPS, Every time you think of the work of pastors, what comes to mind is people, surely a pastor is not a pastor if he has no people to pastor. Well it may be said that you are called, but surely you must be called to God, and called out to people. The relationships that exist in a pastors lie are two( at least) the major ones. First, His/her family and second, The church (the people). Family: I have learned that My family is first and I mean first, but not the place of God. My relationship with my spouse and child speaks alot more about my relationship with "my flock."
