Another Special Life in Christ

These testimony lives are not stories of "role models". Jesus is the role model!
These are lives wonderfully touched & changed by Jesus!

Cheryl Clark, M. D.:

She was a Denver area physician who had been a lesbian, Her is the summary by Liberty Counsel.

A Christian mother filed an appeal last week of a judge’s decision in a custody case that prohibits her from teaching her own adopted daughter the tenets of her faith. Dr. Cheryl Clark — a physician who left a lesbian relationship in 2000 after becoming a Christian and concluding that homosexual behavior was wrong — was ordered by Denver Circuit Court Judge John W. Coughlin in late April to,  "...make sure that there is nothing in the religious upbringing or teaching that the minor child is exposed to that can be considered homophobic."

Coughlin also granted visitation and joint parenting rights to Clark’s former partner, Elsey McLeod, who has no legal relationship with either the daughter or the mother. But he gave no similar instructions to McLeod to avoid passing on her opposition to Christianity to the 8-year-old girl.

"It’s a real one-way street," said Mathew Staver, president of Liberty Counsel  [there are some excellent testimonies on this site] and attorney for Clark. He said the judge’s order effectively prevents the mother from practicing her religion in her daughter’s presence. " [The judge’s warning] has clearly gone beyond the permissible boundaries of courts," he said. "This ruling interferes with her constitutionally granted right to free exercise of religion and her rights as a parent to be able to direct the upbringing and teaching of her own child."

***********************************

This website author would note (1) that Jesus is all about unity rather than divisiveness. And (2) it is God, Himself, who appears to declare homosexuality a "sin". Jesus followers & denominations recap their positions as to homosexuality in good faith because of what is interpreted as what God says! Yet, Jesus wants us to love and relate well to all, HERE (this link gives a 2015 update as to the idea of a "gay gene", etc.). Focus on the Family is another organization with resources to help non-traditionals who are dis-illusioned with their involvement in any LGBT lifestyle and also to help parents understand factors. Hope for Wholeness Networkis a resource. DesertStream is a resource. Also see a Christian Church website, Transforming Congregations.

You have just read a very brief example of the powerful, supernatural transformation of a person's life which is possible through the acceptance of Jesus as your savior. Are you tired of life as it now is for you? He will accept you just as you are right this second! Consider accepting Jesus now [check it out]!
