Free Indeed: February 2015

HOW FAR WILL YOU GO FOR JESUS YOUR CHRIST?

Would you GIVE your life for someone who hates God?

How about your neighbor?

What about the one you call offensive?

JESUS DID!!! rather than live an eternity without "THEM" and YOU

If you're questioning your position and role as a true Christ follower, here's a reminder of who and what you are and were!

2Peter2:9 But you are A CHOSEN RACE, A royal PRIESTHOOD, A HOLY NATION, A PEOPLE FOR [God's] OWN POSSESSION, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;

10 for you once were NOT A PEOPLE, but now you are THE PEOPLE OF GOD; you had NOT RECEIVED MERCY, but now you have RECEIVED MERCY

Mark 12:31 "The second is this, 'YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.' There is no other commandment greater than these."

I don't see anywhere that we have a choice. You SHALL (definite article) GIVE to others what you have been given. Perhaps, unto your death!

IS MY PRAYER SELF RIGHTEOUS?

WWW.FREEINDEEDCO.COM

I am your friend. I’m gay. Homosexual if you like. I have always felt this way. I have never been able to connect with heterosexuality and I believe that because I cannot tell you how it began that it is part of my being. I therefore don’t know if anything can really change. I know the words of the Bible because I follow Christ. Now what? ---

My friend is gay (or homosexual, as my friends put it). He doesn’t know how it started or when it started. So he believes that it’s always been a part of him and therefore born with it making it something God accepts and is open to. ---

Searching for answers, I spoke to someone who said they were in the gay lifestyle and they also followed Christ and he (Jesus) led him out of the lifestyle. Is that really possible? What does it mean for someone to be led out of the lifestyle? I don’t know what to think.

Here is how our conversation went:

He asked me what my prayer is for my friend. I thought that was an interesting question, since I’d never really thought about it. I just simply prayed that he would change, that God would do something to change him. Having to face that question caused me to realize that I didn’t know what to pray for. I just know that Jesus loves us and I wanted my friend to be loved by Jesus.

Our Focus

ree Indeed stands on a razors’ edge between conservative Christianity (which often leads to legalism and works based faith) and liberal societal theology (all truth is God’s truth, no absolute morality, etc) which has lead to the diluting and perversion of scripture and a splitting of the body of Christ, cultural battle lines being drawn, and a new false moral standard being created. We see two ends of a spectrum seeking to understand the middle. We know the middle and we firmly lay the cross of Jesus here without apology. (Gal 5:2-4)

Though these views both claim (apart from each other) to work toward the same goal of relationship with Christ, they do not. Again, in between these two is where Free Indeed stands. To fill this gap and allow everyone to come closer to each other through the grace and truth that Jesus gave to all mankind. To cause all, both the liberal and the legalist, to know grace and freedom found in Christ more and thus grow closer to Him. (Gal 5:1)

We stand firm on gospel truth.

We accept all people just as they are as Christ does and did.

We are here for all who seek a personal relationship with God through Jesus Christ without any regard to your choice of sexual preference or sexual activity.

We are founded on the Bible and its’ truths and the path set before us to be sexually moral before God. (1Cor 6:18)

t is the mission and purpose of Free Indeed to equip all with knowledge, wisdom and understanding of morality before a righteous God. (Proverbs 1:7, 2:10-11 & James 1:5)

Our Focus is NOT:

• the “latest thing” in same sex

cures.

• to tell you what is wrong with

you.

• condemnation, shame or fear.

• to judge your life or lifestyle.

Whether you live in an active LGBTQ

lifestyle, coming out of it, or considering

proceeding into it for the first

time, we are here for you.

Pornography (in all forms) and sexual addiction

In the “straight” world can be healed with help.

We are here for you too.

We do not believe in nor will we promote “Reparative Therapy”. We are not a “Recovery” group!

We do not believe SSA is in and of itself sin.

Come to Jesus as you are without changing who you are beforehand! (Rev 22:17)

We are here to help you find him in a safe, open and accepting environment.

We CAN CHANGE NO ONE! We do not believe the message of Free Indeed can fundamentally change any one or make them do what we or others want them to do. We know true change only comes from the heart of God and only by submission of our free will unto his authority. (Rom 12:2)

We do not promote living in a promiscuous homosexual lifestyle.

We do not promote living an opposite sex “open” lifestyle. Sexual activity outside of marriage is not approved of by God according to his Word.

We do not promote identity or gender questioning therapy even unto making physical changes to the body to modify based on emotion or unresolved thoughts.

We do not promote or approve of the use of or a casual relationship with pornography of any kind. Including but not limited to straight, gay, lesbian, animal, child or violence porn.

We believe pornography and its’ addictive nature is a sexual identity issue and the person using it is in crisis and therefore in need of immediate and deep rooted help.

We believe you can be a Christian and be confused by same sex attraction to the point of living an openly gay lifestyle.

We believe God has given all mankind provision to walk in freedom of SSA if one so chooses. (1Cor 10:13)

We ACCEPT all who come to us or reach to us for help, understanding or long term friendship and discipleship without a requirement to change first.

We know that to LIVE RIGHT YOU MUST FIRST BELIEVE RIGHT! Not the other way around. Jesus always blessed first then set people on their new path of life. We are committed to do the same.

Acceptance: To allow someone to be whoever they are in front of you and become what they are called to be before God.

Lack of Acceptance: To expect someone to change to be near you or to reject them because they have chosen a new path in life that no longer agrees with or parallels what you knew them to once believe.

Grace is the power Jesus gave us to walk in an upright holy relationship with our creator God.

Grace is NOT permission to lay down in your sin or trouble and expect God to look the other way because it’s “too hard”. All sin being equal to God, there is no excuse.

God does NOT look upon our sin and bless it because we choose not to believe his word and power are sufficient for our lives every day in every way. (2Cor 12:9)

A true follower of the Christ of the Bible will understand the meaning of LOVE and act on it toward all man even to the point of laying down ones’ own right and life. (1Cor 13:4-8a)

e of Free Indeed want you to see God in a “new” (to you) way. He is pure love and peace. Do not condemn someone from God because you don’t like what they do as this puts you in rebellion against the Cross. Do not accept someone into a life of perceived openness which will lead to their death, both spiritually and physically. The “ruler of this world” wants to destroy you and everyone you love. He is just waiting for you to reject and harm someone you know or meet so they will feel as if there is no other choice but to follow their confusion and hurt feelings into their death.

WE ARE HERE FOR THOSE WHO ARE IN NEED OF HELP NAVIGATING THE DIFFICULT TERRAIN OF SAME SEX ATTRACTION, SEXUAL IDENTITY, GENDER IDENTITY, HOMOSEXUALITY (INCLUDING PORNOGRAPHY) WITHOUT REGARD TO YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD AND WITHOUT REGARD TO YOUR CURRENT SEXUAL IDENTITY (STRAIGHT, GAY LGBTQ).
