Recently, at People Encouraging People, a ministry of River Lakes Community Church, His Way Out Ministries had the privilege of facilitating a 3-hour workshop for 50 pastoral lay counselors addressing such questions as: Can homosexuals really change? How long does change take? How do I respond to pro-gay arguments? Is homosexuality genetic? What do you say and do when a loved one confesses they are homosexual? All were covered in detail and extremely well received by those in attendance. Below is just one comment for a workshop participant.

“I found the time to be very meaningfully spent with your personal sharing and commentary on the issue of same-sex attraction, choices involved in terms of adopting a gay identity and pursuing a gay-life all very helpful in expanding my understanding of these complex issues.”

Thanks, River Lakes for inviting His Way Out Ministries back once again to participate in People Encouraging People.

Together, we have and we will continue to make a difference!

Hope Community Church
Pico Rivera, CA – Sunday, January 18, 2015

On Sunday, January 18th during the two Sunday morning services at 9:00am and 11:00am, Pastor Phillip Lee will be sharing a message titled A Christian Response to Homosexuality.

A sign of the times according to the Apostle Paul, will be an abandonment of truth for the sake of personal fulfillment: “In the last days perilous times shall come. For men will be lovers of their own selves.” (2 Timothy 3:1-2)

“For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears and they shall turn away their ears from the truth.” (2 Timothy 4:3-4)

Self over truth and men over God; can a Christian be so easily deceived? Evidently so, because Paul referred to the Galatian church as having been “bewitched” (Galatians 3:1) and Jesus warned that a prominent sign of the days before His coming would be an increase in deception (Matthew 24:4). Therefore, to confront pro-gay theology, is to confront a deceptive element of our time.

Argument: Jesus said, “Come unto me, all ye that are weary and heavy laden,” not just “Come unto me, all ye that are heterosexual.” The gospel is for everyone, including gays.

Response: True, Christ’s invitation is to everyone. Most Christians who believe homosexuality is unnatural do not believe that homosexuals cannot be saved – only that they, like all of us are called to repent of all aspects of life that are contrary to God’s standards. We are all called to repent just as surely as we are all called to salvation. To say that no change in behavior or heart is necessary after conversion is to deny the very need for conversion in the first place.

“In American society everything is tolerated except those who do not tolerate everything.” (Anonymous)

rr-restoring-anne-paulkRestoring Sexual Identity offers answers to the most commonly asked questions from both homosexuals desiring change and friends and relatives of women struggling with same-sex attraction.

Is lesbianism an inherited predisposition or is it developed in childhood? Does becoming a Christian eliminate all desire for members of the same sex? What support is available for women who struggle with lesbianism? Can a woman be a lesbian and a Christian at the same time? How does childhood sexual abuse relate to the development of lesbianism?

These and other important questions are answered as the author, Anne Paulk, draws from her own experience and that of many other former lesbians who participated in an extensive survey on same-sex attraction.

Restoring Sexual Identity is available from Amazon.com.

On Sunday, November 30th, Pastor Phillip Lee will be sharing a message titled, A Christian Response to Homosexuality. Scripturally-speaking, what do we know about homosexuality? Do we follow only the red print in our Bibles, or are the teachings of Paul also to be included in the Bible’s inspiration? How should the Church respond to homosexuality?

For more information, please visit Rock Harbor Church

Genesis 1:26-31 and Genesis 2:18-24 provide God’s blueprint for human sexuality. The married union of a man and a woman offers spiritual, psychological and physical completion.

Jesus, when questioned about marriage responded by referring to the Genesis pattern in Matthew 19:1-2 and Mark 10:1-2. God clearly reveals in Genesis that human sexuality can only legitimately be expressed in heterosexual monogamous marriage.

Romans 1:18-32 clearly states God’s view of homosexual relationships. A list of other sins such as envy, murder, gossip, disobedience to parents, arrogance, etc., are mentioned as well as the sin of approving of those who engage in such sins.

1 Corinthians 6:9-11 is special in its emphasis on transformation through the power of Jesus Christ, stating, “And this is what some of you were!”

Karen and Craig Fulwyler and Maria Branford at Restored Hope Network Annual Conference 2014

Restored Hope Network is an inter-denominational membership governed network dedicated to restoring hope to those broken by sexual and relational sin, especially those impacted by same-sex attraction. Recently, delegates from all over America and as far away as Trinidad and Tobago and Africa gathered in Portland, Oregon for a two-day conference.

Karen and Craig Fulwyler, Friends and Family Support Group Leaders for His Way Out Ministries, Pastor Phillip Lee, and Maria Branford with Hospital Christian Fellowship in Trinidad and Tobago, attended the conference as well as the very special leadership training day.

Restored Hope Network and His Way Out Ministries continue to boldly proclaim that Jesus Christ has life-changing power for all who submit to Christ as Lord and seeks to equip His church to impart that transformation.

For many years now, Hospital Christian Fellowship and His Way Out Ministries have partnered in ministry by spreading the Good News that freedom from same-sex attraction is indeed possible when Jesus Christ is Lord of your life!

Recently, Maria Branford with Hospital Christian Fellowship, Trinidad and Tobago, spent two weeks at the His Way Out Ministries office. Maria offered an incredible ministry update in terms of everything that is going on ministry-wise in Trinidad and Tobago, participated in numerous discipleship meetings, discussed at length and great detail how Hospital Christian Fellowship will set-up and launch a permanent, on-going ex-gay ministry in Trinidad and Tobago, and established a ministry rapport with other individuals and ministries all working in the specialized area of ministry to those impacted by unwanted same-sex attraction.

Maria is a very educated and gifted young lady that will undoubtedly be a true blessing to those coming her way for ministry in Trinidad and Tobago. His Way Out Ministries remains honored in continuing our outreach and ministry partnership with Hospital Christian Fellowship.

Dear His Way Out Ministries…

Do Homosexuals Choose to Be Homosexuals?

Careful distinctions need to be made when answering this question. Engaging in homosexual behavior is not the same thing as experiencing homosexual desire. Behavior is chosen; sexual attraction is not. Many who identify themselves as homosexuals tell of “feeling different” at a very early age, and this “difference” developed into homoerotic desire in adolescence. Clearly choice does not play part in such subjective experiences of gender confusion. But neither do such experiences indicate a “natural” homosexual disposition, nor do they lead inevitably to homosexuality.
