AFF was a very big part of my journey out of shame and back into the light of God's creation.

Dan Scott really talked about in a sermon two important things I found interesting.
First he put forth the thought that while therpists and counselors are good at helping people come face to face with their issues only God can change the person.
Secondly he talked about how there comes a point in counseling when a person has to face the reality they don't want to face about themselves. Also the same situation with preachers and people that get revealed to be in gross sexual sins. He said that it is right after that horrible, miserable moment when all of their failures are brought to light that they actually feel the freeest. It is the first time in a long time they are no longer living a lie and trying to hide things. As painful as it is and embarressing as it is it gives them a point to have a new start from with all of their foibles and weaknesses exposed.
