"The Altar" By Ray Boltz

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 the scripture "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.*cries* the song says it all. i first heard this song when i was about 13 and it touches me even more now, now that i'm older and I have seen more darkness and I understand more what it means to "leave your burdens at the altar"

Please remembr that Jesus mercy and forgvness are for anyone who calls on his name, So allow the Holy spirit to live in your harts and "listen" to his voice. Remember that people are Lookig for the Lord, and words are like a double edged sword. are you doing this for his glory or yours? he dos not need anyone to stabilize his ark, His word Stands firm on its own.

"Judging""casting stones" these are words that have to do with punishment with execution. Exhorting, warning--these are totally different things! Look at all the words that came from ALL the disciples of Christ guiding, chastising, sometimes vigorously those whom they CARED about often deeply.These are two very different concepts and both needed here on earth!

Good response. We focus on other's sins, but not our own. We must pray for him. He's carried this for so many years hidden. I believe that's one of the reasons, he was unable to overcome because Proverbs says that if you hide your sin you will not prosper. I believe if I were in his shoes, I'd try to hide it too. The church is extremely mean to those struggling w/the sin of homosexuality. In part, I believe the church is mean because we don't know how to deal with it.

My heart is saddened. What a burden this must have been for him to carry. The Bible says, if we cover our sin we cant prosper.My prayer now that his sin is uncovered, he can come to a genuine repentance and prosper spiritually. God has blessed him financially,with a successful career, but now it's time for Ray to experience true freedom in Christ. That freedom may not come until he has actually lived in his sin freely,then come to realize this is exactly the reason why he needs a Saviour.

Thats why the Bible says Satan comes as an angel of light. He will use someone living in wickedness to sound spiritual through music, and now those who loved Ray are sympathetic to the sin of homosexuality. Don't be decieved!

I believe this man has been ashamed of himself for years. The Bible says that if we cover our sin we cannot prosper. That is why he has nt been set free. My prayer is that now that his sin is uncovered and he can live out his sin that he will become sick of it and have a beautiful experience w/God. This is a beautiful man who wrote beautiful music. Pray for him that he is set free

According to the Bible...there is no degree of sin in God's eyes. So therefore judging someone is as bad as whatever it is that you are judging them for. People really need to remember that. Christian leaders are the hardest positions to be in because they are put on pedestals. Those on pedestals are the quickest and easiest to knock over.

John 3:19-21, "And this is the verdict light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hates the light, and refuses the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
