Questions People Ask About Support Groups
We’re excited about the formation of our on-line groups for families with gay loved ones, and for men struggling with the use of porn or other sexual behaviors. After 27 years of providing one-on-one Biblical counseling for people wrestling with these issues, we realize many folks don’t have access to a Christian counselor who specializes in these areas. So we’re launching these groups to more effectively meet the needs of the population we serve. When someone considers joining a group, they have questions. To help you decide whether or not Continue Reading

Mad at Dad
Please Note: I got knocked down with a serious bug this weekend in New Hampshire which has had me flat on my back all week. So thanks for bearing with me, and my posts will be back on a regular schedule now. I'm at the age when I, and many of my friends, are standing at the dock with our parents. They're getting ready to board and we're reluctantly facing it, while reflecting on how much they mean to us, and how surprisingly huge their role in our lives has turned out to be. All of which gets me thinking about fathers and sons. Dads figure Continue Reading

Early Winter
Do your diligence to come before winter. (II Timothy 4:21) Chuck Swindoll developed a volume of insight from Paul’s brief request to Timothy cited above, basing his book Come Before Winter on what he’d gleaned from the aging apostle’s thoughts. It’s a moving read, one of Swindoll’s best to my thinking, reminding us to hear the yearnings that people try to express. The very phrase “Come Before Winter” hints that the asker is facing an upcoming time of cold gray, hoping the person he’s asking will respond by being there, coming alongside when Continue Reading

The Transsexual Dilemma – Part 4 of a 5 Part Series
The growing support for transsexualism in the culture, plus the growing number of voices within the Church calling for us to not only to show respect and compassion to transsexuals (a very sound idea) but approval as well (wrong option) has prodded me to post, in a five-part series, an article I wrote on the subject six years ago for the Christian Research Journal. (You can find the entire article it in its original form here) Continue Reading
