I'm not sure how they release individual articles. I was in seminary when I read the article and our library subscribed to JBC. You can get it through interlibrary loan, I'm sure. It is well worth the effort to track it down, though. It is in the Winter 2006 issue of the Journal of Biblical Counseling which is published by CCEF.

I've never quite understood the disconnect in how Christians criminalize the porn industry so much, and don't even notice how emotionally damaging some of the conventional "chick flicks" can be when the truth escapes the viewers. For as often as the token about men being sexual and women being emotional is tossed around, this problem should be an obvious one. Keep up the good work!

If the church will be the church, we would have far fewer problems than we have today. But we are so busy trying to be "politically correct" and tolerant, we have forgotten how to BE the church.

]]> Comment on A Response to Wesley Hill’s “Will the Church be the Church for Homosexual Christians?” by Jay http://bekahmae.wordpress.com/2009/03/11/a-response-to-wesley-hills-will-the-church-be-the-church-for-homosexual-christians/#comment-118 Jay Fri, 31 Jul 2009 01:50:44 +0000 http://bekahmae.wordpress.com/?p=127#comment-118 I'm committed to celibacy because I am attracted to men and believe homosexual behavior to be wrong. At the same time, that commitment doesn't scare me or make me worry like it does other SSA folks. I really have no fear in celibacy anymore, because I trust Christ to completely provide for my needs, and I have lots of things that are going to keep me busy. So perhaps I am gifted with celibacy, coincidentally happen to be SSA, and am confusing the two? That's certainly a possibility, but I do genuinely think that the majority of SSA folk have the talent and ability to be Godly, lifelong celibates.
