Marriages and Mentors Conference April 16th – 19th For Couples Impacted by Homosexuality I wanted to let you all know about a special conference being held for Christian couples whose marriages have been impacted by homosexuality. It’s a unique format that allows each couple attending to include a mentor couple to accompany them and therefore be part of their process of healing and communication. What better way for a couple to approach their challenges than with a trusted couple to walk alongside them, who is also equipped on the Continue Reading

Guest Post by Joe Dallas Rev. Ted Haggard broke his two year silence on Oprah’s show yesterday, his first media appearance since a catastrophic fall from the pulpit of New Life Church in 2006, when his longstanding relationship with a male prostitute was exposed.

You’ve been betrayed, and you know you have to forgive. But does that mean you also have to trust? What’s the difference? This is a dilemma I hope we can sort out together. Let me give you my take on it: 1. You can decide to forgive your husband. In fact, no matter how deeply he’s hurt you, the Lord’s commandment on this is clear (Mark 11:24-25, 26) and there’s no “escape clause” in these verses for angry, hurting wives. If you read these verses, you’ll see Jesus teaching that unforgiveness stands in the way of answered prayer! We all Continue Reading

Your husband’s admitted he’s homosexual. What now?
The Faces Behind the Issues Here in California, we’re in the middle of a huge and heartbreaking controversy over Proposition 8, the marriage amendment that essentially banned same-sex marriage in this state.
