Introduction
Nowadays, many G&L Christians
are not clear whether there is indeed a conflict between the Christian
faith and one's own sexual orientation and, consequently, stagnate
one's spiritual growth. Some felt compelled to forsake the faith,
whereas some led a life of wantoness due to abandoning oneself.
In extreme cases, some chose the path of no return in suicide; Some
felt obliged by social pressures to choose marriage without love,
leading to possible greater sorrow for the spouse and children involved.
Is homosexual love a sin? How about homosexual behaviours?
Do you feel unworthy to serve God? Unworthy to pray to God? Do you
feel ashamed by your identity so much so that you feel embarassed
to share your faith with others? Will you feel dubious about evangelizing
from homosexuals? Do you feel heterosexual Christians are holier
than homosexual Christians? Do you feel that a "gay church"
is inferior? Is BMCF a sect? Do you believe homosexual love is a
sin, but still unflinchingly revel in this "sin"?
The "Recovery group"
(of a four month duration) will follow topics adapted from the book
"Steps to Recovery from Bible Abuse" by Rev. Rembert Truluck.
Through prayers, bible study, devotions, sharing, we wish those
wounded hearts to be healed by God. Those who are seperated from
God will be reconciled, so that our spiritual lives can develop
with vigor and strength in God.
¡§Let's
recover, learn, grow & heal together!¡¨
