Phoenix, given your question, maybe we should clarify further the goal, since people have many misunderstandings of what it means to live as a Christian. We are not saying that our goal is to help people live lives congruent with their faith whatever "that faith" may be. We are talking about the Christian faith which was revealed from God to mankind in the scriptures -- the same scriptures which proclaim boldly from start to finish that God designed sexuality to be expressed only between a husband and wife -- the same scriptures which state that "those who love me, obey me." Throughout all recorded history, God's people have consistently taught that heterosexual marriage is the only proper form of sexual expression. The present confusion of our culture does not undo the clear teaching of scripture and of the church.

In other words, though some might feel that engaging homosexually is congruent with their faith, homosexual identity and behavior are not and can never be compatible with Christian faith.

So again, our goal is not to help people live congruently with their feelings, but to live faithful lives towards God. And we can only be faithful toward God when we believe and obey Him.
