In the problem of continuing acceptance of homosexuality as a viable lifestyle, there is no greater question that needs to be addressed than the question of whether or not a person is created homosexual. If in fact God creates people with intrinsic homosexual desires and planned for them to live out those desires, then gay…
It is interesting to find that a number of women drawn into lesbianism had no sexual activity with a woman before being saved. I believe this change occurs due to the loosening of buried emotions at the receiving of the Holy Spirit and turning away from old addictive patterns that covered the emotions. This person…
Because of our many visits to Liverpool to establish a ministry there at Frontline Centre in Wavertree, Liverpool, we had the distinct pleasure of spending a number of weeks in the beautiful home of Dr. and Mrs. Chris Holcombe. We had many lively discussions around their kitchen table including this discussion which we want to…
