How a Photo of a Dead Opossum Dressed Like a Ballerina Helped me to Understand What it Means to be Born Again. Honest!
from Same-Sex Attracted and a Christian. Now What? · host Dennis Belkofer
It was a Sunday morning in 2021, and the worship team had finished leading us through a series of songs with their words on the screen above and behind the pulpit. When the pastor walked out, the lyrics to the songs became an unrecognizable blob. He told us it was an opossum dressed like a ballerina, and not to head to the nearest exit. He then explained that the dead opossum, wrapped in a tutu and with a ribbon on its head, will help us understand, in a deeper way, what it means to be born. And did it ever! I am pleased to share what he unpacked with you, because it is foundational to knowing who you are in Christ - and it "ain't" calling yourself a gay Christian - and also how to deal with the inner temptations and baiting of the flesh - the leftovers of inheriting Adam's sin nature through our physical birth.
