• A right understanding of the Love of God

Know your Enemy – Sin is:

• Powerful

• Subtle

• Corrupting

• Destructive

A right understanding of Sex:

• It’s beautiful

• It’s mutual – and exclusive

• It’s a parable

Know your weaknesses:

• The route to the heart is the eye

• The eternal is easily swamped by the temporal

The weapons for our warfare:

• Our new STATUS – citizens of heaven

• Our new FOCUS – purity of heart

The strength in our weakness:

• In CHRIST there is a living hope, a place of rest, a love that heals, grace and forgiveness and mercy
