Description
A Christian discussion and interactive support group for men who struggle against same-gender attraction. We believe that while sexual tendencies may not be something chosen, we are morally responsible for our sexual behavior. This group is for those people who hold in common the belief that homosexual behavior is sin. We seek the guidance of scripture, God's Holy Spirit, and the fellowship and brotherly love of each other. We celebrate new life and identity available to us through Jesus Christ, our Savior who exchanges His righteousness for our fallen nature as we put our faith in Him. This group has no program or step teachings. It is simply a group of men who share from their personal experience. We are called ex-gay or exgay although some were never involved in a gay lifestyle. Some members have maintained their sexual purity throughout their struggle but still deal mentally with unwanted attractions. Other members were active in the homosexual lifestyle, carrying with them the memories of those experiences, but now choose to turn away from homosexuality for the sake of their own spiritual health. The focus of the group is mutual support in a walk with Christ in a quest for freedom. Members are encouraged to post and respond to the posts of others, building meaningful relationships and interaction. This group consists of about half married and half single members. Because of the personal nature of the discussions and the need for mutual trust, membership in the group requires involvement by all. Lurking is discouraged. This group will only be as useful and productive as you make it with your participation.
