The Basics of our Belief
Mark 8: 34 What does “deny self” mean?  A total denial of your existence, past, present, future. Total and complete abandonment of self, no longer pay attention to self.
John 3: 1-6 Born again
Matt 18: 1-4  Become as a little child, i.e. without self awareness
Matt 22: 36-40 Love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, soul, mind and thy neighbor as self. Living in community we can’t fake this.
Mark 11: 25-26 If we forgive, God can forgive us. If not, he cannot forgive us. Forgive from the heart, i.e. protect that person and their right to have done whatever evil they had done to us.
Matt 18: 35 Forgive from the heart.
