Stanton L. Jones and Mark A. Yarhouse present social science research on homosexuals designed to answer the questions:

* Can persons who participate in focused religious ministries experience a change in their sexual orientation?

* Is it harmful for anyone to participate in such programs? The results show that outcomes for this kind of religious program are similar to outcomes of therapy for other psychological problems. Such programs do not appear to be harmful on average to individuals. This research will be of interest to all those who want to know the latest research on sexual orientation change and the effects of religiously based programs on those who utilize them..

Do you feel like something is always wrong, that you can't seem to "get it right" in your relationship with God?  Then you probably have a diseased faith - thankfully, there is way back to the innocence and freshness of the hour you first believed.
There are only two ways to approach faith: a human-centered approach, or a God-centered one.  A human-centered approach rests on human effort and persistence-human "coulds" and "shoulds"  It seems noble to work hard to secure godly, fruitful living.  But a human-centered faith is fundamentally wrong and harmful.  It is about human PERFORMANCE, which ultimately leaves people tired, oppressed and feeling distant from God. A God-centered faith, on the other hand, is refreshing, surprising and nourishing to the human soul.  True freedom is found whenever we center our faith on the PERSON of God and not the PERFORMANCE of humankind.
