NOTE:
The presence of a link on this page does not imply endorsement of any
kind. We provide these links as a services. But website design and
content does and can change daily, therefore we do not vouch for
today's content of the following sites or the sites to which they may
link. Please remember that due to the very nature of our ministry,
sexually explicit language is one aspect of the topics with which we
deal. Personal parameters about what is appropriate to name and discuss
about sexual orientation, gender identity, and sexuality vary widely in
the church and society. You may come upon material you find
objectionable. If you are a youth, you may come upon material that is
not age appropriate. (If you are a minor, we direct you to the links
listed for youth/young adults.) We cannot take responsibility for links
that are not in our control. Feel free to communicate with us if any of
the links we've listed seem inappropriate to you. We'll review our
decision with consideration for your input. We urge everyone to keep
faith with your own values and use your best discernment when following
a link and visiting a new web site. If the written or visual content of
a site displeases or confuses you, close that site immediately. Then
discuss your response and whether to use that site again, or others
like it, with a respected mentor, teacher, pastor, or friend.
