The false gospel, the man-centered position states that I need to clean myself up in order for God to accept me. The true gospel, the God-centered position teaches that I come to God broken and He begins the process of cleaning me up, making me into a masterpiece. The former is self-reformation. The latter is God-transformation. The former is God will only accept a masterpiece. The latter is God will only make a masterpiece. So we come to God messy, with nothing to offer and then God in His divine love begins to shape us into the beautiful image of Jesus Christ (see Eph. 2:10).

Lisa my sister-in-law lived in Huntsville (hubby worked for Boeing...3 generations of Boeing in hubbies family). Anyway, she loved it there and found that the closer you got to the city the more open folks were to bi-racial families.

I'll never forget the comment my husband made to me when he returned home from TN to Seattle from his job interview that eventually took us to TN. He was in shock, he said "they talk about the Civil War like it happened 10 years ago"...."the South is alive and well". While this may have been an initial overstatement we did indeed find many people during our stay of 7 years in TN that somewhat fit that description....>Deanna
