Consider These Scenarios

Mike sits in his church weekly, hiding a part of his life. The shame is overwhelming and he desperately wants to tell someone his "secret." Yet, he has heard comments from some in his congregation that cause him to wonder if he would be "cast out as an abomination." So he continues to struggle in isolation with homosexual fantasies.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Bill and Sue married and moved to a new area to pursue further education. They were full of newlywed bliss as they began their adventure of life together. However, their perfect world was shattered when Sue woke one morning to find Bill surfing pornography on the internet. Confusion and doubt overcame her as she asked "Aren't I good enough?" Shame and guilt covered Bill as he confessed that he was battling a long-standing addiction and that what he had been viewing was actually homosexual pornography. He was willing to fight, but he knew he needed help.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Janet and Amy are disappointed and confused. So is their church leadership. Both experienced powerful conversions in recent years. They began a friendship when each felt a call to work in the youth ministry of their church. The relationship seemed to go very deep very quickly. Each felt free to share things she had never shared with anyone else. During a recent time of prayer together, each admitted to having "strange" feeling for the other-feelings of physical attraction. They have confessed to their pastor, but the feelings seem to be getting stronger.

Lynne was checking her family's computer internet history. She found that her 18 year old son-star of the football team and leader of the youth group-has been viewing pornography. What she sees on the computer is far beyond what she would have imagined even existed. She is shocked, angry, disgusted, and hurt. She needs help for
herself and for her son.
