Ray Boltz is gay and how it relates to me. (part two)
So, recently Ray Boltz came out and said he was gay. My previous post was the first way this revelation related to me. This story is the last part.
Several years ago I lived in a town where one of the residents had built his own amphitheater. He built it right in his huge backyard and hosted southern gospel concerts there. I enjoyed going to these concerts and meeting some of the singers. One singer I met was Kirk Talley.
Kirk Talley has been around for a long time. He sang with the Cathedrals and the Hoppers, as well as having a rather successful solo career. I got a chance to talk with him and found him to be a rather interesting person to talk to. Several years ago the news came out that Kirk was gay. If you want to read more about that, search for it on
Google, there's a lot you can find there.
Now, here's my favorite part of the story. I remember the shirt I was wearing when I met Kirk Talley. It was, and still is, a favorite of mine. The shirt is
rainbow striped. I mean the material it is made from is
rainbow. Not just a little
rainbow on it, but entirely
rainbow. So, I met a gay southern gospel singer while wearing a shirt colored with the symbol the homosexual community hijacked from God's people.
Why do these things happen to me? I'm just blessed.

Ray Boltz is gay and how it relates to me. (part one)
And apparently he claims it's brought him closer to God. He did an interview (of course) that you can read
here. Now I have two choices on related stories I can tell, so I think I'll tell one now and the other later.
Story OneSeveral years ago I had resumes floating around in a lot of places seeking where God might have me serve. Occasionally, I would receive emails or calls from churches all over the country. One evening I received an email from a church expressing interest in me becoming their Music Minister or whatever title they used. I had never heard of the church so I looked them up on
google to learn more about them. I was quite impressed with their web presence and they seemed rather interesting. Then I found the problem. The staff page showed the "pastor" and his "family" in a picture. However, I had a hard time discerning who in the picture was the "pastor."
It was a picture of two men, the "pastor" and his life-partner (aka boyfriend). It was a Metropolitan Community Church which I then discovered was the church of the homosexual persuasion. Needless to say, I didn't pursue that gig. I'm still not sure where they got my info or why they thought I was MCC material, but I am most definitely not.
How is that related? Ray Boltz is now attending and resuming his singing career in an MCC group.
Let's just pray for Ray that God will open his eyes to the sin in his life and help him get back to the truth.
