Dear Pastor,

I am a 23-year-old homosexual who is a Christian, but I am struggling with my sexuality. When I was young, I was always attracted to females, but since I grew older, I started developing feelings for men. I started having sex at 21, and now, I am with a guy who I have grown to love very much. He cares about me very much, and whenever I am faced with problematic issues, he is always there for me. Truly, I am feeling guilty about my lifestyle, especially because I am a Christian, but everything I try just doesn't seem to change me. I have been to many deliverance sessions and have cried before God for change, but no matter how hard I try, my feelings for men get stronger. simply: I am more attracted to the male sex. I really need your advice as I am afraid, and I really love my boyfriend.

W.D.

Dear W.D.,

I believe that you are desperate to find an answer to your problem. You claim that the religious approach has failed. I find it interesting that you became interested in the same sex after you became an adult. I believe that this is a good reason for seeking professional help. I strongly suggest, therefore, that you go to see a psychologist, preferably a Christian, and explain your situation to him. I believe that nothing is beyond God's help. I hope that you will experience a mighty change in your life. To that end, I am praying.

Pastor
