"The Pit"
A homosexual fell into a pit and couldn't get himself out. A pharisaic fundamentalist came along and said, "You deserve your pit." A psychologist came along and said, "Accept your pit. That way you'll be happy." An apostate liberal came along and said, "Your pit is God's beautiful gift to you." A gay activist came along and said, "Fight for your right to stay in your pit." A researcher came along and said, "discrimination against pits is illegal." A charismatic came along and said, "Just confess that you're not in that pit." Respectable people came along and said, "We don't associate with pit-dwellers." His mother came along and said, "It's your father's fault you're in that pit." His father came along and said, "It's your mother's fault you're in that pit." BUT Jesus, seeing the man, loved him, and reaching into the pit, put his arms around the man and pulled him out.
Beacon Ministries exists as an outreach to ALL WHO SEEK FOR
THEMSELVES, freedom from same-sex attractions, thoughts,
desires and behaviors.
Many believe that homosexuality should be either
unconditionally accepted or, to the other extreme, completely
condemned as an "unforgivable sin." Beacon
Ministries, however, holds to God's biblical truths concerning
sexuality while offering caring and unconditional support to
those who struggle with same-sex attractions.
It is our desire to help those who seek freedom from same-sex
attractions discover the awesome power of God's love, mercy,
grace and forgiveness which have the power to heal the
destruction and deep pain involved with homosexual struggles.
Beacon Ministries holds to the belief that there is a very
real difference between the thoughts and temptations of
same-sex attraction, which are generally not a result of
choice, and homosexual BEHAVIOR which IS an act based on
CHOICE.
It is also our stance that homosexuality is but one result of
the fallen world of sin in which we live ... no greater than
any other sin. God CAN and WILL forgive ALL.
While standing firmly on the conviction that it is NOT God's
will for homosexual relations, Beacon Ministries does not
exist to judge, condemn, argue, nor debate. It is rather our
mission and purpose to reach out with love and compassionate
support to those among us who struggle with same-sex
attractions and desires.
Beacon Ministries provides information and such support to
anyone who desires freedom from the bondage of homosexuality
through the life changing experience of a personal
relationship with Jesus Christ.
We also provide support and education to parents and to
spouses as well as to churches which desire assistance in
responding in a compassionate and biblically sound manner to
persons who are impacted by homosexuality.
For more information, please email us. May God bless each and
every one.
