I think church life is some what of a journey, for instance I tried so hard to dedicate my-self to the christian faith, I member this one time when I was in South Melbourne, while trying to make some form of inner conection towards ‘Purple Heart Ministires,. I actully thought anything could be possible, all I had to do was to just find that single Lesbian, becacse I was Gay, and having all these feelings. I truly actully thought that I could recieve some wonderful amazing ‘Hetrosexual Life.

But time grew on and I some-how got sick and found myself in front of Mental Health Scene.

So the truth is I had to try and be true to myself, when I got back to City of Sydney. But some-how I ended up at a small Community Church, one A.O.G. Church in Petersham, thinking change was still possible.

I often wondered was it just some sort of broken mixed up sexuality, being a shattered connection in front of God.

Then the church was telling me how about teen Challenge, that might knock some sense into me, about being centered and whole, before Christ.

So two church members took me their to have a interview, I felt that this was wrong, I wanted to leave as soon as possible. I said to the person who saw me I am not a drug addict, surly their must be some kind of mistake. Then he said as he looked over my form I see you are from a Homosexual Background, “Yes ” I said. I was sweating with a slight nervous reaction when he said that.

I just thought the other guys will name call me think I am not like them.

So just had to say know to “Teen Challenge in Sydney.

So now the years have past and I am near thirty, I think to myself where is my church life now. From student Matt.

Welcome,

God Bless

Thanks Anna for the explanation ) , they sound like a good group….shame the church cant be the support its meant to be but as you stated, But i guess it wont ever be in its full capacity as such becuse it in itself is a place of hurting people too, people on different parts of their journey and also a place that is led by broken people and people at different levels, but at least be great if the judgementalist attitude would be tapered and just not there. Its just a shame also that too many leaders make out they have it all together and have all the answers and know how to “read” and understand the bible in its entirety, fact is no-one can completely, to do so i would think you would have to know God in his entirety. (By saying this I am not taking away from bible authority or authenticity.) wink

Hey Matt, just wanted to say a warm welcome. We are all on a journey and I pray that yours will become clearer and its inline with what your heart desire. Think of this f2b as a family who looks out for you. You have a connection with God, who has never let you go. You may think God has but infact God has been there all the time. Nothing embarrassed God. God knew you before you were born and knows you so much more than you can imagine. Rest in that thought and while you are resting, just pop a direction for God to show you where you can go to have a “church life” that will enable you to feel at home and loved.

Love you child of God, we are all students of life.

Yeah that is a worry! I woud be nice to be in a church where your sexuality did not matter and the focus was on the relationship with God was more important.

I think the tides are changing as more people become aware… I can see a number of people are confronted when they discover that not only am I gay… Im a Christian… shock horror… you can’t be both. Smile.

Sigh… if only people stop and read what Jesus spoke about. He never mentioned issues about Gay people so isn’t that a hint for all Christians?

Hmmmmm
