Last updated on: December 17, 2012 at 2:56 pm By Andrew Marin

For the many people in both the GLBT and conservative communities throughout Massachusetts, Connecticut, Iowa, Vermont, Maine, New Hampshire (and especially those in California from the beginning of Prop Eight) who love to sarcastically and condescendingly say to me: “Andrew, you can say whatever you want about gay marriage and it doesn’t matter because you’re in Illinois and not our State who has to deal with it.” Take a look at this. And yes, I do forgive you for your rude comments to me... Read more

Last updated on: December 17, 2012 at 2:56 pm By Andrew Marin

Here is an interview with Soong-Chan Rah that I did while speaking at Cornerstone Festival in July. As always, I ask two questions: 1.

As a representative of the Christian community, what do you want to say to Christians about gays and lesbians. Also, for a fun other point of view for this interview, check this out.

Last updated on: December 17, 2012 at 2:58 pm By Andrew Marin

The following was originally posted on January 29, 2009. This past weekend I had some very, very close people to me talk to me about some deep secrets and fears in their lives that are tearing them apart. In lieu of that, I thought it was important to put this post out there again. Here is the link to me pouring my heart out about my own personal secrets and how I’ve come to forgive myself, and the others that have... Read more

Sept 26: My One Sentence Bible

Last updated on: December 17, 2012 at 2:58 pm By Andrew Marin

What is My One Sentence Bible? 9-26-09: “Disaster follows disaster.” What you immediately see around you is what you’re creating—productiveness or disaster? Jeremiah 4:20 Your name, your church and your claims will give you no protection amidst your actions. Your heart is all the Lord is after. Jeremiah 5:7-11 God allows ‘cause and effect’ to tangibly play out from our actions. We deserve what we set forth, in either direction. Jeremiah 5:18-19 Much love. www.themarinfoundation.org Read more

Sept 25: My One Sentence Bible

Last updated on: December 17, 2012 at 2:59 pm By Andrew Marin

What is My One Sentence Bible? 9-25-09: There are no births which are mistakes in God’s eyes. Even the unborn are known and loved by God. Jeremiah 1:5 Don’t ever let anyone tell you that you can’t do miraculous things for God because of your age! They know not of God’s power. Jeremiah 1:6-8 Our faith becomes irrelevant when we start focusing on irrelevant things. Jeremiah 2:5 Let’s not allow the lasting thought of our generation be that we forgot... Read more

Last updated on: December 17, 2012 at 3:00 pm By Andrew Marin

This is the last post in this series. Here is the Intro to this series on Language in the Culture War about Tolerance. Here is Part 2 on Reconciliation. Here is Part 3 on Affirming.
