Allberry

This morning, I found out that Sam Allberry has been disqualified from ministry by the elders of the church where he was serving due to what they called an “inappropriate relationship”. In addition to serving at this church, Allberry was a frequent contributor to The Gospel Coalition (TGC) and Desiring God (John Piper’s site). To my surprise, I found out today that Allberry was also a frequent chapel speaker at Cedarville University. Allberry is an advocate for the idea that same sex attraction (SSA) is a result of the fall of man and is therefore simply a temptation, not a sin. He taught, even on the Cedarville campus, that one could live with SSA as a faithful Christian, as long as he did not go into lustful thoughts and actions. He himself claimed that this was his testimony.
