sexual abuseWhile family dynamics, temperament, and peer pressure strongly
shape a person's sexual identity, the single factor that most powerfully propels a girl toward a lesbian identity is sexual
molestation, incest, or rape. Incest (which we define as sexual contact with a family member, relative
or regular caretaker) is the most common and damaging form of sexual abuse. Usually, the perpetrator is a male--a father,
stepfather, uncle, or older brother--although women can be abusers, too. Incest wreaks incredible devastation because a child
is betrayed and violated by the very people she should be trusting to care for and protect her. Often the molested child will
think, I must be a horrible person for something like this to happen to me! The abuser may threaten to harm or even kill the
child if she ever divulges "our secret." Read More
Breaking Free From the Barrenness of Bitterness Listen to Pastor Damian Kyle explain how the best friend
and a counsel to King David allowed bitterness to take control of his life. Ahithophel had the right to be infuriated and
to be bitter. Ahithophel was the grandfather of Bathsheba. Bathsheba’s husband had been murdered by the king. Ahithophel’s
bitterness leads him to try to destroy the king. The bitterness grows so great that when Ahithophel was not allowed to kill
King David, Ahithophel committed suicide.
Ahithophel knew nothing about Nathan’s confrontation
“’David’, you are the man.’” Ahithophel knew nothing about David writing Psalms 51 to be read
and sung before the congregation.
I, Sam
Horner, beg of you, Please don’t allow bitterness to destroy your life. Ahithophel had a right to be infuriated and
bitter as you may have. Please allow Pastor Damian Kyle’s teaching, “Breaking Free From the Barrenness of Bitterness”
to minister healing to you.

Conquering Illicit Passion
Listen as pastor-teacher Dave Wyrtzen of Midlothian Bible Church and Truth Encounter teaches on Conquering Illicit Passion
The
Sixties proclaimed the so called liberation message of Free Love. Today we are living out the consequences of this rejection
of biblical morals. Broken families, broken emotions, broken bodies—these are the signs that a spirit of lawlessness
has taken over our land. There is hope! The sweet singer of Psalm 23 became an adulterer, liar and murderer but eventually
found his way back home.

The Lie Pastor Wall Romans 1:24-32 When we decide to redefine how to handle our
problems, hurts and pain contrary to
the word of God we are rejecting the God who reveals Himself through His Word. When we reject God’s Word we have become
part of the original rebellion. We have aligned our selves with Satan’s Lie that we can be as a god. Genesis 3:4-5 (KJV)
4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
5 For God doth know that in the day ye
eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. Listen to Pastor Wall teaching on Romans 1 24-32
as he helps us to understand the downward spiral that will follow when we decide to call our own shots.
Can
I ever be forgiven by God?
By lay teacher Sam Horner
I will answer your question with The Word. “And you, who once were alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works,
yet now He has reconciled in the body of His [Jesus] flesh
through [His] death, to present you holy, and blameless, and above reproach in His sight”-- Colossians 1:21-22 (NKJV) If you will admit your wrong, ask forgiveness
for your wrong He [Jesus Christ] will forgive and impart [pay the charge] that was written against your account. He [Jesus]
ran the race and you get the gold medal. His righteousness is put on your account and your sin was put on His account. “In this is love: not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to
be the propitiation (the atoning sacrifice) for our sins.” 1 John 4:10 (AMP) After receiving forgiveness
He asks you to forgive as He forgives. Matthew 6:9-15
For those of us who have been forgiven much we understand how to forgive others. For those that try to put sins on a scale
of one to ten with ours being only a one and their sin a nine or a ten, forgiveness becomes hard to extend to others.
Wow, I want to meet this Jesus and a Father that loves me this much right now.
