Frisbee recounts the life of a radical hippie turned Christian evangelist whose call into the ministry came while involved in the Laguna Beach homosexual scene. Even though he was the spark who propelled two of the largest evangelical denominations in the last thirty years into existence, he was treated with contempt throughout his career because of his sexuality. What do you do when the Jesus freak who starts your church dies from AIDS?

Simple. Erase him from history.

  • There us nothing confusing here to me. The Word of God did the work. The servant used did not matter. Remember that Judas was among the Apostles performing miracles. God can use anyone to do His Work and the fact that Mr. Frisbee was overcome by his sin in the long run does not mean that the people touched are defiled. It is the Word of God that is the power to salvation and not Lonnie Frisbee or any other man.

  • Was Jesus of little discernment as well when he called Judas to be an apostle or when he gave Judas power along with the other apostles to perform miracles and preach the gospel? Being a "man of God" does not mean that you have a gift of discernment, it means that you are God's servant and you honor His Word. Some men become entangled in sin. Jesus spoke about this in the Parable of the Sower Matthew 13: 1-23. Lonnie's fall does not discount that many came to Christ through his life.

  • @nickybadboy50 its hip to be square

  • The amazing backstory is story that God uses anyone - everyone is created in His image & shares His characteristics & he wants to use everyone - no matter how flawed & how much they struggle. Despite his own inner struggles Lonnie pointed thousands of people toward the grace & love of the Lord, he soldiered on in the mission even when he was failing - could you imagine the influence of the church if 5% of the people had that commitment to the message of Christ! He is at peace with the Lord now.

  • @matatat1 i know that u posted 8 mos ago, but seeing this after watching the outcome of his life in the vid doesn't add up. what you've said is a misconception and incorrect. it's not ok, but what IS is for a person to admit that they have a problem-- and do something to change for the better. when God uses someone, it's for HIS glory, HIS power, HIS authority. not to say that the person doesn't matter, but we shouldn't glorify that person-- most especially when they lead sinful lives.

  • what is that song that is playing?

  • What song is the one playing?

  • This makes me sad....All I can say is theses people who hate gays need to do some research... Translation, and many other things have changed. I grew up at calvary, went to high school, pre school gosh everything. I'm a Christian and will always will be, cause I love the lord. But never once was he so mean and hatred to us... I wish some people new how to show love.. I like to say what christ said.. PULL the log out of your eye! LOVE DON'T HATE WWJD.....
