Speak Your Healing from the Homosexual Deception by Bonnie M. Egglehand Pdf
The lies of homosexuality dissipate because a life of purity in Christ Jesus decidedly removes the homosexual deception. Each step toward Jesus brings us closer to His image, and we are changed. We emerge free to be exactly whom Father God created us to be. Leaving all secrets with honesty and transparency before God and man, forgiving ourselves and all abusers, we emerge in our true identity with a heterosexual desire. This desire for the opposite sex is as natural as apple pie. Leaving the judgments, the facades, the sins, and all idols, the stark truth remains. Our true identity is found in Jesus Christ alone.

Deception Revelation to Release by Deborah Nottingham Pdf
What do you do when your apparently heterosexual Christian spouse reveals they are gay or same-sex attracted? The revelation leads to a shattering of the heterosexual spouse, especially if they have been married a long time. Deception: Revelation to Release Responses to My Secret Gay Spouse by Deborah Nottingham opens a personal view on her journey of deception from revelation to release. The first three months of this event are told from her raw journals at the time and her look back as a restored woman. Deception is the core issue, not the homosexuality. Her search for answers to her marital issues begins with her view that divorce is not acceptable for her as a Christian, even as the marriage disintegrates. Women are not to blame for cheating spouses. While he cannot choose his sexual orientation, deception is a decision for which he alone must take responsibility. (Tim Rymel, M.Ed., Rethinking Everything and Going Gay)
Yet many who sit next to us in the pew at church fit that description, says author Wesley Hill. As a celibate gay Christian, Hill gives us a glimpse of what it looks like to wrestle firsthand with God's ''No'' to same-sex relationships. What does it mean for gay Christians to live faithful to God while struggling with the challenge of their homosexuality? What is God's will for believers who experience same-sex desires? Those who choose celibacy are often left to deal with loneliness and the hunger for relationships. How can gay Christians experience God's favor and blessing in the midst of a struggle that for many brings a crippling sense of shame and guilt? Weaving together reflections from his own life and the lives of other Christians, such as Henri Nouwen and Gerard Manley Hopkins, Hill offers a fresh perspective on these questions. He advocates neither unqualified ''healing'' for those who struggle, nor their accommodation to temptation, but rather faithfulness in the midst of brokenness. ''I hope this book may encourage other homosexual Christians to take the risky step of opening up their lives to others in the body of Christ,'' Hill writes. ''In so doing, they may find, as I have, by grace, that being known is spiritually healthier than remaining behind closed doors, that the light is better than the darkness.
God, Grace, Homosexuals, Heterosexuals by Cindy Krueger Pdf
For a majority, homosexuality is an aggravation on the fringe of life, that is until one day, it personally involves them. Today, the voices of mankind are heard, but too often they are in direct conflict with one another. So who do you listen to? After years of longing for peace it appeared I had one avenue open to me. In the end, "Solo Fide," faith alone is left. Jesus said, 'Come unto me...I am humble of heart...and I will give you rest, ' and 'Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.' I decided to simply take God at His word. If you are lost, unsure, feeling all alone and not sure who to trust with your painful thoughts and questions, please know, you no longer need to struggle by yourself. I am with you - so now there are two of us and I will support you through out your own journey so that you also can finally rest secure in the arms of God, knowing you are blessed and free as you move forward with your child, familly member, or friend who needs you. This book covers subjects such as: when your child comes out of the "closet" why you, the parent, need to follow and come out of your own closet; why the laws of Leviticus no longer police the lives of New Testament Christians; why you need to verbalize what you believe about LGBTQ's in your own heart and stop mimicing the words of others; how scripture in it's entirety speaks to the subject of sexual and gender diverse individuals; why we need to learn to wrestle with scripture; and how God's actions may speak louder than Biblical words. These discussions and more will move you toward a greater understanding of what is really involved if we as a society of caring people want to move forward to a positive future with human rights for all people. Finally, knowing your own heart and mind will allow you to understand not all leaders and speakers comprehend what they are so eager to speak out against - our loved ones and their complicated, very misunderstood lives. This is my story, a mother of two homosexual children. I include the steps I took to chisel away the walls separating my family, closing off our hearts and destroying our peace. The public risk of being personally rejected is all mine, the faith to risk is all from God. This is a book about God's perfect grace. My hope is you will gain a fuller understanding of the subject of homosexuality and the very real people who identify as sexually and gender diverse, and your heart will be blessed. I pray for healing in the lives of all.

I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die by Sarah J. Robinson Pdf
A compassionate, shame-free guide for your darkest days “A one-of-a-kind book . . . to read for yourself or give to a struggling friend or loved one without the fear that depression and suicidal thoughts will be minimized, medicalized or over-spiritualized.”—Kay Warren, cofounder of Saddleback Church What happens when loving Jesus doesn’t cure you of depression, anxiety, or suicidal thoughts? You might be crushed by shame over your mental illness, only to be told by well-meaning Christians to “choose joy” and “pray more.” So you beg God to take away the pain, but nothing eases the ache inside. As darkness lingers and color drains from your world, you’re left wondering if God has abandoned you. You just want a way out. But there’s hope. In I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die, Sarah J. Robinson offers a healthy, practical, and shame-free guide for Christians struggling with mental illness. With unflinching honesty, Sarah shares her story of battling depression and fighting to stay alive despite toxic theology that made her afraid to seek help outside the church. Pairing her own story with scriptural insights, mental health research, and simple practices, Sarah helps you reconnect with the God who is present in our deepest anguish and discover that you are worth everything it takes to get better. Beautifully written and full of hard-won wisdom, I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die offers a path toward a rich, hope-filled life in Christ, even when healing doesn’t look like what you expect.
Bringing to light an extreme fundamentalist Christian view, this insider’s perspective offers hope to people grappling with the aftereffects of a cult-like movement often known as “Reparative Therapy.” The movement assumes that going from gay to straight is easily changeable and change-worthy, despite decades of psycho/sexual research to the contrary. Although it did not succeed in making the author—a Southern Baptist who attended an ex-gay ministry at a young age—straight, it did undermine his self-esteem and confuse him significantly, thus leading him to pursue an advanced degree in sexology in order to help others in similar positions. Offering a detailed comparison of the ex-gay world and the phenomenon known as Religious Abuse, this manual shares a personal journey through the hopeless mistreatment and manipulative system of ex-gay ministries and the recovery process involved in regaining strength, acceptance, and self-worth.
Our Stories of Overcoming "Homosexual Behavior" by Dr. Levi M. Matthews Pdf
Our Stories of Overcoming Homosexual Behavior is a Christian guidebook on how believers can better understand same-sex attraction and what it could mean for those dedicated to belief in the Lord. Using a combination of first-hand narratives, research, and biblical commentaries, the author provides readers with a comprehensive collection of lessons and advice for Christians who themselves feel same-sex attraction or for their friends, family, and fellow church members. With a topic often cast in vitriol and polemics, readers should take to heart the author’s honest and genuine sense of care for his fellow brothers and sisters in Christ. "Our Stories of Overcoming Homosexual Behavior is a powerful read for the entire Christian church, Christian leaders and especially for those who are experiencing same-sex attraction." - Rev. Anthony Evans, President, National Black Church Initiative "Our Stories of Overcoming Homosexual Behavior" is a compassionate, truthful, and “very” “very” valuable resource for the Church -Dr. Eddy K. Lau, Hong Kong Institute of Christian Counselors
Reinterpretations of key Bible texts related to sexual orientation, written by a Harvard student, present an accessible case for a modern Christian conservative acceptance of sexual diversity.
This is a book written primarily for gay Christians and those who love them. Part memoir, part pastoral-theological reflection, this book wrestles with three main areas of struggle that many gay Christians face: (1) What is God’s will for sexuality? (2) If the historic Christian tradition is right and same-sex behavior is ruled out, how should gay Christians deal with their resulting loneliness? (3) How can gay Christians come to an experience of grace that rescues them from crippling feelings of shame and guilt? Author Wesley Hill is not advocating that it is possible for every gay Christian to become straight, nor is he saying that God affirms homosexuality. Instead, Hill comes alongside gay Christians and says, “You are not alone. Here is my experience; it’s like yours. And God is with us. We can share in God’s grace.” While some authors profess a deep faith in Christ and claim a powerful experience of the Holy Spirit precisely in and through their homosexual practice, Hill’s own story, by contrast, is a story of feeling spiritually hindered, rather than helped, by his homosexuality. His story testifies that homosexuality was not God’s original creative intention for humanity—that it is, on the contrary, a tragic sign of human nature and relationships being fractured by sin—and therefore that homosexual practice goes against God’s express will for all human beings, especially those who trust in Christ. This book is written mainly for those homosexual Christians who are trying to walk the narrow path of celibacy and are convinced that their discipleship to Jesus necessarily commits them to the demanding, costly obedience of choosing not to nurture their homosexual desires. With reflections from the lives of Henri Nouwen and Gerard Manley Hopkins, Wesley Hill encourages and challenges Christians with homosexual desires to live faithful to God’s plan for human sexuality.
In Be Not Deceived, Michelle Wolkomir explores the difficult dilemma that gay Christians face in their attempts to reconcile their religious and sexual identities. She introduces the ideologies and practices of two alternative and competing ministries that offer solutions for Christians who experience homosexual desire. Through careful analysis of the groups’ ideologies, interactions, and symbolic resources, Be Not Deceived goes far beyond the obvious differences between the ministries to uncover their similarities, namely that both continue to define heterosexuality as the normative and dominant lifestyle.
In Bible, Gender, Sexuality James Brownson argues that Christians should reconsider whether or not the biblical strictures against same-sex relations as defined in the ancient world should apply to contemporary, committed same-sex relationships. Presenting two sides in the debate -- "traditionalist" and "revisionist" -- Brownson carefully analyzes each of the seven main texts that appear to address intimate same-sex relations. In the process, he explores key concepts that inform our understanding of the biblical texts, including patriarchy, complementarity, purity and impurity, honor and shame. Central to his argument is the need to uncover the moral logic behind the biblical text. Written in order to serve and inform the ongoing debate in many denominations over the questions of homosexuality, Brownson's in-depth study will prove a useful resource for Christians who want to form a considered opinion on this important issue.
What is the "gay Christian" movement, and why is it now being accepted as an alternative lifestyle within many churches? Author and counselor Joe Dallas, in a loving and biblical manner, spells out what pro-gay theology is and how to confront it, then examines the believer's personal response and the need for bold love and commitment. He also gives detailed responses to the main scriptural arguments posed by the pro-gay movement, and evaluates the movement's impact on culture and the church.
