Self-Control is Not an Impossible Goal
19 September 2017

Many Christians have been deceived and sold a lie. The lie that it is simply not possible to control our bodies. Like all lies, it originates from the father of lies, Satan himself. Tragically, a lot of believers have all but given up on even trying to control themselves. Not least when it comes to sexual sin.

Over the last half century there has been a huge revolution in attitudes to sex, marriage and human sexuality. Throughout this period, TFT has been a beacon of sensitive, balanced thinking and wise pastoral support. Countless numbers of Christians who want to remain faithful to classic Christian thought and teaching on sexuality have been helped. As this revolution continues to play out, their work and witness will become more important still and I’m deeply grateful for their wise and faithful ministry.

Thanks so much for all you did last week at our youth camp. That was really appreciated, and very well received by the campers, who continued to chat about it as the week went on. Above all, thank you for your honesty and biblical faithfulness, and your gospel focus in all you do.

Why I reject the Side A & Side B Terminology
1 September 2017

I’ve never liked the idea that you can divide Christians into Side A and Side B. What is, however, more disconcerting is that more and more orthodox Christians, who hold to the Scriptures teaching on sexual morality, seem to be buying into this use of language. Well then, what’s the harm?

TFT have long been the market-leaders in providing encouragement and support for same-sex attracted Christians like me. I’m eternally grateful for the Christ-like compassion and companionship my membership has brought me.

Sean Doherty commendation

Submitted by Stuart on 31 August 2017
As a same-sex attracted Christian I have benefited from the witness and teaching of TFT, and the time I have spent at TFT conferences with like-minded people has been a huge source of joy, fun and inspiration. They provide much-needed love, support and care from within a biblical framework in a world which often does not understand the counter-cultural way that Jesus calls us to live.

Wallace Benn commendation

It is a privilege and pleasure to commend the great work that TFT does, both in upholding orthodox Biblical teaching on love, sex and marriage, and pastorally helping and supporting those who experience same-sex attraction to live faithfully as disciples of Jesus, the Son of God. In the present climate the work TFT does is supremely valuable.

Graham Beynon commendation

TFT offers support, teaching, and encouragement for helping Christians live out their convictions on sexuality in the context of the local church. That’s exactly what we need today and so I’m delighted the True Freedom Trust exists and appreciate its work.

The feedback from both staff and students from last week has been overwhelmingly positive. We much appreciated the strong biblical content in the sessions you led and comment has also been made about the way in which you both dealt with issues in a pastorally sensitive manner. Thank you for that investment of time and we trust you both went away feeling it was a day well spent.

I get lots of materials from many different Christian organisations, but your newsletter Ascend is the one that I will read and reread. Your leader article was particularly helpful - encouraging and challenging and, as ever, extremely practical for all Christians, including myself, as we seek to resist temptation and walk with Jesus on the road of discipleship.
