This online apologetics and discernment work Apprising Ministries has apparently stepped into a spiritual blackhole when I began covering Word Faith “Bishop” Jim Swilley Announces That He’s Gay last night. There courtesy of the story Megachurch Pastor Comes Out Of Closet I told you about Jim Swilley: The pastor of a Rockdale County megachurch has publicly announced he is gay. Jim Swilley, […]
