Certainly if someone looks at my life, they will see that I have surrendered my heart, my life to Jesus Christ.
ALAN CHAMBERSCertainly if someone looks at my life, they will see that I have surrendered my heart, my life to Jesus Christ.
ALAN CHAMBERSAnd that’s a wonderful thing and that’s what we will always offer at Exodus.
ALAN CHAMBERSFor some that will mean getting the help or expertise of a counselor that can help them walk through and navigate through some of the traumatic things that they’ve been through in their life.
ALAN CHAMBERSI’m grateful for people’s opinions but I choose to surrender and to serve Christ and Christ alone and in that my life has changed.
ALAN CHAMBERSIt’s something that’s been part of my tenure at Exodus over the last decade plus.
ALAN CHAMBERSI am eternally secure. I gave my heart to Christ and that gift of salvation is irrevocable.
ALAN CHAMBERSBut sin resides, the power of sin resides in our flesh. It will always try us and it was always tempt us and therefore we always need to be submitting our mind, will and emotions to the lordship of Jesus Christ.
ALAN CHAMBERSA reparative therapist called me and said if you’ll come into therapy with me I can cure you of your temptations and attractions 100 percent.
ALAN CHAMBERSThe reason we have distanced ourselves from it is because some of the things that they employ and some of the messages that I’ve heard from reparative therapists with regards to what someone can expect once they get through that type of therapy.
ALAN CHAMBERSThis is the church’s job. This is who we are as the body of Christ to reach out to people who are in need, who are struggling.
ALAN CHAMBERSI’ll be very glad to tell them what my faults and my weaknesses are and the areas that I pray about in my life every day.
ALAN CHAMBERSI think we as believers can be secure in our relationship with Christ. I’m not saying that sin isn’t sin.
ALAN CHAMBERSBut to say that people who have same-sex attractions are the only group of people who need to go to a therapist to completely resolve those attractions isn’t something I find biblically accurate.
ALAN CHAMBERSCertainly anyone who comes to faith in Christ has a new heart and they have an opportunity for new life and that’s a wonderful thing.
ALAN CHAMBERSI’m not saying that people should live in unrepentant sin. I’m not saying that that’s a mark of a mature believer at all.
ALAN CHAMBERSIn all caps PERMANENT – reduction of their same-sex attraction.
