Ok. I know my comments go farther and farther down the list but I must emphasize that this site is not for argument for or against homosexuality and that I now must add nor is it a place to argue how we deal with his sin. I agree with the above comment so I approved it but I won't approve any more argument. Thank you.

God never once sugar coated sin in the scripture and pointing something out isn't judging. God abhors this sin and also will forgive if we truly ask. He was also tempted in every manner that we are but didn't give in. Whatever our excuse or how we think we were born it still doesn't excuse sin or make it justified and hopfully one day Ray will ask for forgiveness and turn from his sin.

Where'er I go I'll tell the story Of the cross; In nothing else my soul shall glory Save the cross; Yea, this my constant theme shall be, Through time and in eternity, That Jesus tasted death for me On the cross.

Despite what may be going on in Boltz' personal life, I refuse to let it dampen the power of songs like this one for me. So powerful!

Very true. I really love Rays's music myself as they are soo inspirational and encouraging. I think now would be a good time for him to relisten/reread the words to many of his songs like "The Hammer", etc.

I am not going to throw stones. If Mr. Boltz is struggling with this particular sin, i don't think that he is going to be damned if he dies before he overcomes it. We are all sinners, saved by grace. Please don't tell me that you are sinless. I am not condoning his sin, but i believe that Christ died for His elect. I am not going to be the one to say whether or not Mr. Boltz is one of them. And i am not going to judge him, either.

You know I love Ray's music and i am sorry for him and his family. But we canot be a christian and take only parts of the Bible and as hard as it is the Bible is clear and Ray made a choice.And sin is sin..God did forgive the woman at the well but He said go and sin no more....this my friends is a sign of the last days!!! But He made this choice and he is in Gods hands... But it is sad how satin creeps in.....and we fall for his lies!

I remember watching this back in school with some other songs on a video that our teacher let us watch.
