November 10th, 2008: I will no longer be accepting comments considering Ray's "need to repent" there is 100s of comments now all saying the same thing, that point blank, Ray's going to hell. Enough is enough. It's time to stop gossiping and pray that God will have his way. Love thy neighbour. Not saying your not allowed to disagree with Ray's lifestyle, but frankily to be blunt, i'm just sick of hearing about it. Nobody can say anything that hasn't already been said a thousand times and people are starting to get mean-spirited about it.
September 15, 2008: So I have gotten 100s of comments concerning Ray's coming out. I think we are all very shocked and maybe a little worried, but I had to not post most of them because they were simply too mean-spirited. When I said before I would not post mean-spirited comments concerning this, I did not mean comments saying they disagreed with his choice would not be posted. I meant I will only post comments that came with good intentions, and not from a judgemental mind. I'm not going to go into is homosexuality right or wrong, is it a choice or some gene that is built in at birth. But I will say I still love ray's music. He has sang and written some of the greatest gospel songs ever and I am scared for him and feel sorry because I can only imagine the kind of comments he's getting and a lot of people are going to shun him for this. It is okay to tell someone you do not agree with their lifestyle, or do not understand it. But I think it is VERY important to remember God wants us to hate the sin not the sinner so if you express concern for their souls, do it with a loving heart. Do not just stick your nose up at them and say "your going to hell" because that just pushes them farther away. I've learned this the hard way. Remember that God's Love is for EVERYONE, and when he died on the cross he was doing it not only for you, but for Ray as well. What if it was your father who came out? Or your brother? your friend? You may not agree with their choice but, if your any kind of person you would still love them. How would you feel if people made the kind of comments to them that you all have been making to Ray? Bottom line, just, pray for this sitatuion that God will move and will have his way. In the meantime, some of you need to get your noses out of the air long enough to examine YOURSELVES and why you think that you are the one exception to the fact that gossiping, hatred and judging are all sins as well.
the ever-so-popular "thank you for giving to the lord" song. I'm sure most of us have people in our lives that this song reminds us of, for me it would be my pastor and my mother.

Love according to whose definition? Liking God alot isn't the epitomy of loving him - it's obeying his commandments. "If you love me you will obey my commandments and you will abide in my love as I abide in the Father's love" -Jesus. Sorry, but your wrong femaleanimelover, at least according to the scriptures.
All Christian struggle with sin in their life. Ray is no different. I know that his testimony, and the strength of his message might be affected as a consequence of his sins. However, does that make the message of his song any less true? If a gay doctor tells you that you have skin cancer based on a mole on your forehead, are you going to ignore him and die? Of course not. I am not saying that his lifestyle is Godly, but this song still has a powerful, inspirational message.
Ray is a very good singer. As far as the whole gay bit, I believe we should pray for him and reclaim his soul in the Name of Jesus. Homosexuality, like stealing, drinking, promescuity, lying, drug addiction are all strongholds from the enemy, that try to take over our minds like cancer. "The weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God, to the pulling down of strongholds". Let's join together and bring this one down and set him free. God will do it if we agree.
