Is it wise to share a home with my same-sex friend?

Many people who experience same-sex attractions are fully committed to celibacy but struggle to do life on their own. This article poses some questions you could ask yourself as you navigate towards a decision as to whether it’s wise to share a home with your same-sex friend.

I’d really like to get married - would that be wise?

For some Christians facing same-sex temptations, they are strongly drawn to being married to someone of the opposite sex. This will be a wonderful thing for some to pursue but for others it will be unwise. This article seeks to share points of guidance for reflection, discussion and prayer.

Sexual purity and good mental health

Choosing celibacy over same-sex relationships is a good thing according to the Bible. For me personally, choosing celibacy was like a bereavement. Saying "Bon voyage" to my sexual expression and identity, the hope of finding a long-term partner and physical intimacy. For a number of years, I couldn't help but experience this as a major loss.

I have been engaged in this type of ministry for over 30 years. In that time, I have seen much change in Christian perception and witnessed the increased rejection of biblical truth by both organisations and individuals of previous good standing. But that is not the case with True Freedom Trust. For 40 years this ministry has stood firm offering biblical truth, pastoral support, and hope to those who struggle with same-sex attraction. I recommend this ministry without reservation.
Radical Inclusion (Donald's story)

TFT has done much in its 40 years to decrease stigma in the church, but we would all agree that there is further to go. In this article, Donald shares some positive experiences of being included by the church, to show what can be done when we aspire to inclusion.

Can I be Happy as a Single Person?

In our culture, people still assume everyone wants a husband or wife, or at least a partner. The majority view is that being in relationship is preferable to being single. We often refer to people as happily married. But when did you last hear someone described as happily unmarried?

How should I reach out to LGBT people?

How do we share the good news of Jesus Christ with those who identify as LGBT? Unsurprisingly, the simple answer is in the same way as any other person! The gospel is powerful enough to work in the hearts of anyone, and those who identify as LGBT are not a special subset of people who require a different gospel.

Should I attend a Gay Wedding?

It is almost inevitable that a day will come when an invitation of this nature will drop on your doormat. It’s most likely that you will have been expecting this announcement and now the day has arrived. So, how should a person RSVP to the invitation if they hold strongly to the biblical definition of marriage as monogamous and heterosexual?
