“Virtue and vice are very personal. It is a moral judgement of ourselves, of our behavior and attitude. It's so personal that we could share this only with a spiritual father and through him with God. It's a judgment that we give ourselves. It's an inner aspect, and not public. The confession of a sin is secret. Not because it's shameful (it is), but it should be secret because it concerns the deepest and innermost levels of the soul. It's a dialogue of the soul with itself, making this judgement ( or hesitation of judgement ) open to God.”

His efforts continued to no avail, until one day he heard a voice, and it said, 'God is an awful sinner...' Desperate to win at something, he chose to listen to the voice. He chose sin. He out-sinned God with flying colors, and laughed until his heart stopped beating. Ultimately, his victory against God claimed his life; because sin leads only to Death.”

“From the very beginnings of our story as followers of Jesus, we have recognized and honoured the fundamental truth that every person is made in the image of God.

“You were meant to first be subjected to the limitations of the flesh or the experience of NOT knowing what sensuality feels like [that’s why some of us at some point had to be alcoholics, some promiscuous, some rebellious, some married and then later divorced, some abused, some lied to, some cheated on and taken for granted, some abandoned] so that we would be able to know what sensuality DOES NOT feel like and then be delivered from that bondage of decay (or ignorance) into the liberty of knowing what sensuality really feels like.”
