In 1996 he met a gay model and actor and thought that he was in a perfect gay relationship. This fellow was about to move in with this actor but knew in his heart that it was wrong and that God was watching him but continued to ignore Him. But in 1996 a good friend of his invited him to a Deaf Christian retreat. He opened up his heart to God that day. In 1997 he joined the Deaf Bible School called "Evangelism Training Center" or ETC at Deaf Ministries Worldwide (DMW). And in 1998 he joined the "The Master's Hands" Deaf traveling drama group. And in 2000 he graduated from Deaf Ministries Worldwide where he received his "Deaf Culture Ministry" certificate. His calling is Jesus Christ. He is still gay (rather than an "ex-gay") but doesn't have an identity problem since he's been celibate since 1996 and his identity is now in Christ, and not about his temptation. Who is this guy? He's none other than Matt Lieberman.
Matt - "I do not support people who are intolerant, homophobic, and hateful, who condemn people and are violent against gays. I do not support anyone who forces gays to change. I have experienced that myself. It is wrong and it is not God's way. God never forces people to change and love Him. My goal is to explain to Deaf people that God is the only One who can change their lives. God is continuing to work in my life, and He is healing my root areas."
Confused No More! - Read the whole moving article of how he dealt with the whole homosexuality issue and God.
1 Corinthians, 10:13, "You are tempted in the same way that everyone else is tempted. But God can be trusted not to let you be tempted too much and he will show you how to escape from your temptations."
Nobody's perfect. We all sin. We're sinners from the day we were born til the day we die. But don't forget Him. He's your security and savior.

Guess what? I know Matt Lieberman ... tad too well.
Some people who lives in glass houses should not throw stones...
That is all I can say at this moment.

This just takes the cake.
I'm going to laugh so hard to the bank.

Go ahead and spit pennies, R. Each one of us posses the will to make choices in our life. Either you do it, or you don't.
