1.MAN HAS TO START WITH SOMETHING AND THEN DEVELOP IT - HE CANNOT EVER MAKE ANYTHING FROM NOTHING, ONLY GOD CAN DO THAT AND CALL FORTH THE CREATION.
2.YET AS I READ THE BIRTH STORIES ABOUT JESUS I CANNOT HELP BUT CONCLUDE THAT THOUGH THE WORLD MAY BE TILTED TOWARD THE RICH AND POWERFUL, GOD IS TILTED TOWARD THE UNDERDOG.
3.THERE IS NOTHING YOU COULD EVER DO THAT WOULD CHANGE THE WAY GOD FEELS ABOUT YOU.
4.GOD IS LOVE. GOD PROVED HIS LOVE NOT BY HIS NEED OF US, BUT BY HIS GIVING TO US.
A HIGH VIEW OF GOD AND A LOW VIEW OF MAN AFFECTS HOW A CHURCH VIEWS SALVATION, NOT PRINCIPALLY FOR THE SAKE OF MAN, BUT FOR THE GLORY OF GOD.
