Gay Pain, Gay Adoption, Homosexuals Anonymous
Recently a client of Liberty’s, a man who has actually been living the gay lifestyle, recommended a blog post that briefly discussed the pain that many gay and lesbian people live in. I thought it helpful here because in many ways it exposes many myths: Images of the gay lifestyle portrayed in the media (for...
Liberty in May 2012

May 2012 Prayer Points
Liberty Christian Ministries Prayer Points – May 2012 The last month been quite eventful, and Liberty really needs prayer for the following: On Easter Sunday this year, April 8, the Sun Herald and the Sunday Age both published articles on ‘ex-gay’ ministries in Australia, including Liberty Christian Ministries, Beyond Egypt, and Exodus Asia-Pacific.

Where Culture Clashes with Gospel of Hope
The sexual healing ministry Living Waters has responded to the Easter Sunday to the article in the Herald about overcoming homosexuality (http://proverbspurple.wordpress.com/2012/04/27/when-culture-clashes-with-the-gospel-of-hope/).

Those accusing our ministries falsely are like...

Readers’ responses to last week’s articles
In today’s Sunday Age and Sun Herald, a number of readers responded to last week’s articles. There was the typical misinformation and spiteful hype (such as one opinion from two presidents of the Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Association of Australasia, both of whom are tragically unaware of the damage done by gay relationships and whose own views...
Response to Sun-Herald article
Last Sunday’s Sun-Herald included an article on pastoring people with unwanted same-sex attraction and, in the process, attempted to smear Liberty Christian Ministries, myself, and other ministries like it. God willing, this will lead people to considering Liberty and the options they have in lieu of them merely reacting in unfound and ill-informed anger as is...
Liberty Christian Ministries in Sun Herald (8 Apr 2012)
In today’s Sun Herald there appeared an article on overcoming homosexuality that included an article with me … It gave no proof that healing from homosexuality is impossible and made no attempt to genuinely understand ministries like Liberty and Beyond Egypt, but just ran on a few unsuccessful stories and the usual scare campaigns (trying to change...

Here is my email: To all Australian Senators, Please find attached my response to the current same-sex marriage bill.

City Bible Forum: ‘Gay’ and Christian?
