Desires in Conflict: Hope and Healing for Individuals Struggling with Same-Sex Attraction
Homosexual orientation is different from homosexual behavior.
Sexuality is part of a person’s identity — not just a behavior or act.
Even those who report leaving the homosexual lifestyle often still struggle with same-sex attraction and may not ever report being heterosexual.
Marriage will not cure homosexuality. It may make the struggle harder.
Heterosexuality is not the goal. The goal is sexual purity and being conformed to the image of Christ.
People have a deep need to be accepted unconditionally. Demonstrate unconditional, positive regard for the person.
Accepting a person as he is does not imply you are condoning a behavior. Let God separate the sinner from the sin.
Convey warmth and compassion for the person in the struggle. Be genuine, empathic, and respectful.
Conviction from the Holy Spirit produces repentance, renunciation, redirection, and repair.
