Tom’s List: 50 Commandments to Transform Your Life is…
I can’t explain it. My book Tom’s List: 50 Commandments to Transform Your Life was published six years ago. Naturally, over time the sales of any book slows down. Tom’s List has been like that the last few years. Sales on Amazon have been slow. But in the last week more copies have sold than […]

The Gay Community, Billy Graham, and Me
Last year I wrote an article confessing I had changed my mind about the LGBTQ+ community. As a result, I received a certified document in the mail charging me with “teaching doctrine contrary to the Church of the Nazarene.” My district superintendent repeatedly urged me to recant and when I refused, I was subjected to […]

UPDATE: I’ve Changed My Mind about the LGBTQ+
September 28, 2021I published THIS article on my website and Facebook. I announced I had changed my mind about the LGBTQ community. Before publishing the article I wondered if anyone would even notice. After all, I was a 67-year-old ordained minister without a current ministry in the Church of the Nazarene. I didn’t even […]

I’ve Changed My Mind about the LGBTQ+
Not long ago I had two brief conversations about the LGBTQ+ community. Both disturbed me deeply. These conversations wouldn’t have troubled me a couple of years ago. But I’ve changed my mind.
