Waiting Eagerly

Hi, this is Matt. Follower of Jesus Christ. Same-sex attracted, washed, sanctified, justified. Founder of Waiting Eagerly. I write about faith and sexuality.

If you're experiencing same-sex attraction and struggling with that because of your faith, then you're the kind of person I created my website for. Have a look: https://t.co/JW7RfNtSWx.

Dear all, Twitter is so toxic that I decided to leave. At least for a time, but most likely permanently. Those of you who would like to contact me, you can still do it through my website. God bless you. Bye.

@DanielBarden14 @SummrWrites It was more than that. My issue was her calling marriage “the absolute best”. It may not be a huge deal to many, that’s why my first response was gentle. Then she came after me the way she did.

[Waiting Eagerly @waitingeagerly]

@Aaronviland @DanielBarden14 @SummrWrites I don’t have to know her to comment on her tweet. Her words were clear.

[Waiting Eagerly @waitingeagerly]

@LawandProfits @greatmaambino @SummrWrites You missed my point, sir. Big time.

[Waiting Eagerly @waitingeagerly]

@greatmaambino @SummrWrites It clearly wasn’t an honest question.

[Waiting Eagerly @waitingeagerly]

@Aaronviland You clearly missed my point.

[Waiting Eagerly @waitingeagerly]

@DanielBarden14 @SummrWrites I don’t think marriage is an idol either. But I do think Summer responded as someone who idolises marriage. Of course I don’t know that, she just sounded like it. I also believe marriage is a wonderful gift from God. And I share your frustration about her attitude…

[Waiting Eagerly @waitingeagerly]

@DanielBarden14 @SummrWrites I don’t know her at all, but that was my first impression too. That’s not how a truly content and happy person responds. More like someone whose idol has just been challenged.

[Waiting Eagerly @waitingeagerly]

@MilkToastOnRye @SummrWrites You’re a Christian?

[Waiting Eagerly @waitingeagerly]

@SummrWrites Then perhaps you want your words and tone to reflect that.

[Waiting Eagerly @waitingeagerly]

@curtis_serben @bebookled Then why does Paul call it good?

[Waiting Eagerly @waitingeagerly]

@catrionacandler @bebookled Very well said.

[Waiting Eagerly @waitingeagerly]

@jennijean @bebookled And this is what happens when Christians deviate from Scripture and call evil what the Bible calls good.

[Waiting Eagerly @waitingeagerly]

@bebookled Where does the Bible refer to singleness as an affliction?

[Waiting Eagerly @waitingeagerly]

@KristanHawkins I love what you do, I thank God for you, but no, this is not true.

[Waiting Eagerly @waitingeagerly]

@SummrWrites Why the hostility? The biblical way is between shutting up about it and calling it the absolute best. That’s all I meant. I don’t know why you got all rude and offensive all of a sudden.

[Waiting Eagerly @waitingeagerly]

@Mbagwell80 @SummrWrites That’s exactly the chapter I had in mind. Thank you for the encouragement.

[Waiting Eagerly @waitingeagerly]

I know this is very controversial today, but a romantic and sexual relationship is not sanctified by love alone.
