Consecrate Your Heart
2 Cor 15-16

The Call to Consecration

It’s up to us to keep the impact of an old experience current.

Increasing My Own Heart Dependence on God.

A MORAL REVOLUTION IS DEFINED BY THREE CHANGES:--
1. WHAT WAS UNIVERSALLY CONDEMNED IS NOW CELEBRATED.
2. WHAT WAS UNIVERSALLY CELEBRATED IS NOW CONDEMNED.
3. AND THOSE WHO REFUSE TO CELEBRATE THE NEW ORDER ARE CONDEMNED.

Consecration is the way we dedicate ourselves
to the things of God through specific sacrificial acts.

Consecration is …
Cleaning, plus sacrifice, plus dedication.

It sounds like heresy in our culture, but romantic and sexual love are not the deepest expressions of our humanness.

The poverty of spirit experienced in celibacy provides the opportunity for a deeper experience of divine love.

[Not all] are all called to celibacy, [nor does] it make one a super-Christian.

But the core skills of celibacy—discipline, self-control, choosing a greater love at the sacrifice of a lesser—these are all key Christian skills pointing straight to the heart of Christ.

Increasing Our Church Family’s Dependence on God.

Salvation Prayer
Dear Lord Jesus, thank You for drawing me to Yourself from my darkness, my sin, and my shame. I repent of my sins, and I ask You to forgive me. I welcome You into my heart, and I surrender my future into Your hands. Guide me by Your Holy Spirit, and help me to be a reflector of Your light to those around me. Thank You for including me in Your family. Amen
