Thesis

• When you become a believer by being born again, you have to come to terms with how God sees you, and how he has made you, and what that means in the most intimate aspects of your life.

THE BASIS FOROUR BELIEFS:

A. If you enter a relationship with God, he will change you from the inside outB. The goal of God’s desire to change you is so he can conform you to the image of his SonC. The agent God uses to enable you to change and willingly conform is his Spirit

Point 1

• God does not command your holiness; he confers your holiness as you respond to the promises of his word.

Point 2

• If you get enough of the word of God principlized in your life, it will pull you to emotional and relational and moral health and wholeness.

Point 3

• Our real phobia should be in

dysfunction from the divine design.

Point 4

• God gave us full permission for sexual expression, within the context of communion, relationship, intimacy, monogamy and commitment.

and it was GOOD

Point 5

• Shame came with sin and a severed relationship from God.

Point 6• You are getting closest to God’s

kingdom when you recognize that the entire central principle of the universe is fellowship with God that results in correct relationships with others.

Point 7

• God wants your worship of him, but he needs your witness to the lost.
