Summary

Note to listeners: there was an issue with Jake's audio in this episode and we are working to fix this for future recordings. Thanks for listening!

Jake and Bob conclude the series on Security, Maturity, Purity, by talking about Purity. The development of this area is about much more than sexuality. Purity begins when we orient ourselves towards love by both seeing God and seeing like God. This episode challenges us to see ourselves and others more through God’s eyes with the healing gaze of love.

Guiding Quote:

Blessed are the pure of heart, for they shall see God. - Matthew 5:8

Key Points:

How the Gospel story of the Healing of the Blind Man of Bethsaida illustrates Security, Maturity and Purity
Purity of heart means seeing God and seeing like Him.
Seeing like God means not just seeing someone’s brokenness but seeing them in their wholeness… this includes ourselves
When we talk about purity, we need to look at the heart not just actions
We must encounter God in his fullness through security and maturity before we can truly embrace the wholeness of God’s love for us
At the root of an addiction or impurity is an absence of love. When we invite God (love) into our impurity there can be healing. Do we trust him enough for this?
It’s inadequate to simply talk about ‘right or wrong’ in the Church
An indicator of purity is the quality of relationship we offer to others: being able to admonish another and at the same time love them through a problem they have
Impurity is any deviation from love
The power of the healing gaze of Jesus

Practical Application:

Where is there addiction or impurity in my life? Where am I not living in freedom, and what does it mean to hold Jesus’s hand in that area?
What does it look like to admonish others and be ready to love them through their struggles?
