  <content>&lt;h1&gt;Class&amp;nbsp;meets Sunday's,&amp;nbsp;at&amp;nbsp;5:45 p.m. in the Timothy House (white C3 house across the street from the church)&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Eight Recovery Principles based on the BEATITUDES&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;by Rick Warren&amp;nbsp; - See Video &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.celebraterecovery.com.au/video.php&quot;&gt;HERE&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1. Realize I&amp;rsquo;m not God;&lt;/strong&gt; I admit that I am powerless to control my tendency to do the wrong thing and my life is unmanageable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;rdquo;Happy are those who know they are spiritually poor.&amp;rdquo; Matthew 5:3&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2. Earnestly believe that God exists,&lt;/strong&gt; that I matter to Him, and that He has the power to help me recover.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;rdquo;Happy are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.&amp;rdquo; Matthew 5:4&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3. Consciously choose to commit&lt;/strong&gt; all my life and will to Christ&amp;rsquo;s care and control.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;rdquo;Happy are the meek.&amp;ldquo; Matthew 5:5&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;4. Openly examine and confess&lt;/strong&gt; my faults to God, to myself and to another person whom I trust.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&quot;Happy are the pure in heart.&quot; Matthew 5:8&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;5. Voluntarily submit&lt;/strong&gt; to any and all changes God wants to make in my life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&quot;Happy are those whose greatest desire is to do what God requires.&quot; Matthew 5:6&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;6. Evaluate all my relationships,&lt;/strong&gt; offer forgiveness to those who have hurt me and make amends for harm I&amp;rsquo;ve done to others when possible, except when doing so would harm them or others.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&quot;Happy are the merciful.&quot; Matthew 5:7 &quot;Happy are the peacemakers&quot; Matthew 5:9&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;7. Reserve a daily time with God&lt;/strong&gt; for self-examination, Bible reading, and prayer in order to know God and His work for my life and gain the power to follow His will.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;8. Yield myself to be used by God&lt;/strong&gt; to bring this good news to others, both by my example and by my words.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;ldquo;Happy are those who are persecuted because they do what God requires.&amp;rdquo;&lt;br /&gt;Matthew 5:10&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
